When it comes to ponying up for an engagement ring, the three-month rule—you know, the arbitrary mandate that one spends a total of three months' salary on a piece of jewelry—is not always feasible. Furthermore, if you're going to wear a piece of jewelry 'til death do you part, it should reflect your style, not your budget, right? Fall in love with these non-traditional rings, all under $3,000.
