For me it is an investment in life, future and love - why should everything be about money. I really like the ring, it is beautiful. And she loves the ring!

The unpleasant subtext here being that you're basically saying your girlfriend's love and commitment are dependant on receiving an expensive trinket.

At least that's unpleasant to me.

no - it is just a sign... a nice one
If it's just a nice trinket that has sentimental value then it's most certainly not an "investment in life, future and love."
