New boyfriend gave me expensive jewellery - overthinking?

My new boyfriend of 3 months gave me a necklace for Valentine's day. I was able to look it up and it's more pricey than any jewellery I've ever bought myself. It is also based on something I told him I really liked on our first date in passing. Anyway it's beautiful and I love it.

He has been divorced for a few years but he once mentioned that he and his ex didn't wear rings but they did wear custom made necklaces.

Going back to the gift, he mentioned he'd bought himself a similar one which made me remember this. Am I wrong to think that psychologically this is his way of lining me up as wife number 2?

Clearly it wouldn't be conscious necessarily. It's early days in terms of the relationship.

The necklace was £400. He earns 12k more than me and is about to get a promotion, resulting in another 10k increase.

so he's not poor or rich, probably doing well in the grand scheme of things.

How do you know all this about him after 3 months? Confused

Fair, some people do get married very quickly. I would still wonder about the difference between being lined up to be wife number two and OP posting here because something doesn't feel right, which sounds quite different to a whirlwind romance where you are both swept up.

Yeah that's fair
