“Once upon a time” an expensive engagement ring worked as a sort of bride price and was a hedge against the risk of premarital sex.

How does buying/wearing a ring prevent premarital sex?

Doesn’t prevent it, but gives the girl collateral if the guy breaks off the engagement afterwards.

Diamond rings are basically worth fuckall for resale. Most pawn shops won't even take them
