Guys much would you be willing to spend on an engagement/wedding ring? And ladies will cost really matter? Why or why not?

So, if I were in the market today, I'd probably stop at $5,000 but would be looking in the $2,000 range.

When I bought my wife's ring, I spent $2,000 in 1996. But I knew what I wanted which was a 1 carat flawless diamond in a white gold setting.

Thank you for MHO!

I would probably visit several jewelry stores to find a ring I thought she would love before focusing too much on price. Then I would figure out a way to pay for it either in cash if I had enough, or by making monthly payments to the store.

This particular ring is about 850 Euros or 950 US dollars and I'm fine with that price.
I would go as far as 1700 euro or 1800 US dollars but that feels to much. When you marry it's out of love, it's a sign of commitment and the ring is a symbol of that. And the second you trow more meaning into the price of the ring instead of the meaning of the ring, then that's where you lost track of what it's all about and i see it as a red flag and i might reconsider marring this lady. Also i feel like diamonds are taky and used up. It feels like your just showing off and are just part of ignorant blind flokk of sheep's with no originality. Why by of the rack? Why make it a status point? It's love, aren't your love meaningful and worth some more thought then to just buy something that so many other have? Diamonds are a sham and not worth as much as you would think. Besides there are so many other "rocks" that is so much more beautiful then a diamond. Personally i believe one should design the ring yourself, if you have no creative mind then go to a Goldsmith and talk to them, share with them what you know about your loved one, what colors does she/he like, shapes, gem, gold siler or what have you that she/he likes, intrests, hobbies. What ever, find something that say you know this person and here is the ring to prove it. Better yet if you can, take some goldsmith courses and make it yourself with the guidens from a Goldsmith. A friend of mine got married, his now wife is a space engineer. So he bought a iron meteorite and some gemstones. And he made a ring from a meteorite that is older then the earth it self. The importance is to make it personal, the importance is not how expensive it is.

Cost wouldn’t matter to me. If it was too expensive I’d be afraid to use it in case I’d lose it or get robbed, but other than that no I wouldn’t care. I don’t even think I want a big/proper wedding. Just our closest family and then maybe some homecooked meal or bbq at home and cake for desert. No big party or extravagant decor. Right after the small family celebration going to the airport for a honeymoon trip. I’d rather put the money towards that trip than spending it on an expensive dress, hairstylist etc or decor, food, venue, party, invitations for lots of guests to enjoy. I’d want to go travel for a few weeks or a even a month.

[LiamJHayden]

As little as possible. I'd rather invest in something valuable than waste money on overpriced blood diamonds.

[Lucy68]

Honeymoon, house, etc

[Apple1996]

Price doesn't matter at all. My wedding ring cost like 500

[MikeTheBartender]

I do pretty well I could afford an expensive one 30k? But if I'm dating a girl that wants that ring, she's the wrong girl for me. I'd say 5 to 10k.

[Jennz6]

I don’t care because it’s the thought that counts

[PointTaken]

Someone once said about 6 months of your salary. I'd be fucked if that was true. I don't know if I can get a $65,000 ring.

[Mark987]

Engagement about 10-20k or at least the value of the ring.

[jamesgoldman]

Probably £2,000 which is like £5,000 retail on engagement

Probably a few hundred on a wedding band


Generally I buy wedding bands by the weight and engagement rings by carat

[Amur8711]

Never thought about it. I think the standard is a months salary. So it depends on how much you do make.

[Potteplante]

I prefer no ring at all since I don't like wearing rings.

[UniquelyBasic]

Whatever is in my means at that specific time.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I'd get a ring pop.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

It's a joke. In reality, I'd spend a maximum of two months salary. I expect to die without ever having to buy one, though.

[shortster]

Three months salary

[EaterPeter]

2500?

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!
