HOW MUCH TO SPEND ON AN
ENGAGEMENT RING
Nothing about buying an engagement ring is one-size-fits-all. Whether you choose to design a custom piece together, surprise her with a ring that costs half your salary or go with an alternative to the traditional diamond engagement ring is up to you. Whatever you decide, an engagement ring is an important purchase, both for your relationship and your wallet. Here’s how to determine how much you should spend on an engagement ring.
THE MOST COMMON ENGAGEMENT "RULE"
In reality, the average engagement ring cost could be anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000 with some people spending more and some spending less.
WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?
The last thing you want is to get engaged and then have to pay off the debt you accrued by choosing a ring that was beyond your means. Think about it: you still have a wedding to plan and a whole life together to finance.
SET PRIORITIES
Setting priorities can help you narrow down your choices, and a certified gemologist can help you navigate your options. With a budget as your guide, you won’t waste any time looking at rings that you can’t afford—no matter how beautiful they may be.
