Best Answer

Back in the 1950s engagement rings ranged in price from a few hundred dollars and up depending on the style, diamond size, and metal type. Remember, this period was shortly after the war, and money was tight. A small diamond (.15 carat) solitaire white gold ring would cost around $100 at that time. A ring with a .25 carat stone done in platinum would cost roughly $300 to $400. Any ring that was a filigree setting or had accent stones would cost more, due to the workmanship and additional stones.
