How much is a reasonable engagement ring price?

Answer 1

There is a saying that you should spend the equivalent of one month's salary but, really, you should think about how much you can afford. Perhaps one month's salary would be too much for some couples. One thing it's worth remembering: some brides spend a lot on a wedding dress that is worn for just one day, compare the price of the that with the price of an engagement ring which is worn every day for, hopefully, for many years. Well priced rings, suitable for engagement rings, can be found at jewellers who specialize in second hand jewellery. If you don't like the design but the diamond is what you are looking for, then consider have the ring re-designed. If you want to do this then it's a good idea to go to a second hand jewellery specialist who has a workshop and some jewellery repair experience.

Answer 2

Well it all depends on what kind of diamond shape you want, the clarity and color. In terms of shapes: round, pear, marquise, princess, cushion, asscher, oval, radiant, heart and emerald, cut: excellent to good, clarity: internally flawless to slightly included and other technical details such as the quality of the polish and symmetry. The average price of a 1 carat round diamond D color, IF clarity can cost you $11, 327 and a diamond with the same size, G color, VS2 can cost you about $3997. It depends on your budget and personal choice.
