Some care. I'd be pissed if my partner blew 30k on a few grams of carbon that frankly looks like cut glass unless you shove your face into it. I'd rather be handed a box with a loop of string, a symbolic offer to go ring shopping together.
All of this - I’m very glad my husband did not surprise me with two months’ salary worth of ring.
Half the population of any neighborhood is women. You don't need to speculate about this. Ask a few.
