I think it's more that women these days are utilitarian enough to see jewelry as a needless excess, yet wealthy enough to get it for themselves if they really wanted it anyway

Pretty much. There's significantly less culture of "you need to buy your girlfriend/wife jewellery to show them affection," since women are increasingly recognizing how unnecessary that is.

Also everyone's super broke during their formative years of building romantic relationships, so everyone's kind of used to not wasting money on jewellery by the time they do establish themselves well enough to be able to afford more. So there's that too.
