  No, the salesperson is not expressing joy for your newfound status.

  
  That only appears to those who are hard on the commission part.

  I just to work in jewellery sales line but I do not do that. I would recommend nicer ones in the same price range that the customer is looking at... like a 4 claw look bigger than a 3 claw ring.

  Brand name also important.

   

  Tiffany & Co sounds better way than Ah Leong Brothers Goldsmith Pte Ltd.

   

  Really.

  Ya, a normal 58 facet cut is cheaper than a close to perfect 58 facet cut which is common known as hearts and arrows.

  Well salary isn't just your only form of money maker
  
  Stocks, Real Estate and others obviously for 30k...merely by salary  you'll need a long time to get that amount

  even if Tiffany & Co $30k but Ah Leong Brothers Goldsmith Pte Ltd one is $40k, they'll still choose the Tiff & Co one right?

  The value of the ring is important not only to show the girl how much she meant to you, but also needed to show your future mother-in-law how much her precious and only xin gan bao bei daughter meant to you.

  But if the ring is too cheap like 2-3months worth of salary, then it won't be surprising if the guy is tempted to go Batam, Bali, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines and other 3rd-World countries to look for another girl and have another family there...since the ring is so affordable to the guy.

  True love in Singapore is mostly a one-sided fairytale, and it is almost impossible to find a true love relationship in Singapore as I have yet known or see any couples out there who are living in a true both-sided love story.
