I've thought about this and indeed, a ring is a "stake" and helps
to discourage other men from mistaking chatting up his "property".

Then again, putting up TOO much in a ring also says: "This woman
expects the guy to blow a lot of money and can probably be
either bought off by another man OR she'll cheat on him with
someone hot."

Think of it as a security system: If you put up a big sign that says
"Hey!  I've got a big expensive security system!  There's jewels
and currency stored here!" that almost invites burglars to figure
out a way in.
