How much should you spend on engagement ring?

Answer 1

The idea of proposing marriage has been around for centuries. However, it wasn't until the early 1900s that the symbol of a diamond engagement ring craze hit. The general rule of thumb is said to be 2-3 months of your annual salary. However, you should really only spend as much money as you can without putting yourself into too much debt. Any debt that you do incur should be manageable. So you should take into account your annual salary, your monthly expenses and how much income you have left over after everything is accounted for. Chose a reasonable budget that will not make you life financially tight.

The jewelery companies have set a standard of two months salary. That is often used as a very general rule. It also assumes that you have two months salary to drop, and that she would want something that big or expensive.

Honestly though, it really has more to do with personal tastes. You have to consider what your fiance's style is. Some women like big or showy jewelry. Others may think it is a bit gaudy. The perfect ring for her may not be the most expensive ring that you can afford. If you are going to surprise her with it, shop around. You will eventually find something that has her name on it.

If the young woman involved is worth it then it won't matter how showy and expensive the engagement ring is. Some men prefer to surprise their girlfriend with an engagement ring, while other girls go with their fiance to choose the wedding ring and if this is the case the fiance should make it clear how much he can afford on an engagement ring.
