The Engagement Ring

Engagement Rings Cost Money Too

When it comes to picking out the right engagement ring the most vital thing to look at is price range. The price range can tell youa lot about the quality of the ring you are buying. A high end designer engagement ring ranges from $7,000 to $40,000. When purchasing a designer or high end engagement ring you can expect a platinum setting with excellent diamond quality, probably more then a carat of diamonds depending on which designer you go with and if there are accent stones. A higher end engagement ring may also have very intricate filigree-- small twisted wire accents-- such as vines or small flowers. When going for a lower end engagement ring, the prices range from $1,500 to $3,000. These diamonds are of a lesser quality, the stone will be smaller and you may not get the option of side stones depending on how large your center diamond is. Your center diamond can come in many shapes such as princess or round. Lower end engagement rings are more obtainable as they are easily found at chain jewelry stores, and depending on sales may cost even less then $1,500. These sales usually occurring around February or December.
