Make This An Anniversary to Remember: Shopping for the Five Stone Diamond Band Surprise

So it’s time to ask the big question, perhaps one of the most difficult questions anyone ever has to ask in life. The possibility of rejection makes asking for someone’s hand in marriage one of the most nerve racking questions ever conceived of. That’s why it’s highly important to go into the ordeal with the proper equipment, and there’s no item more important to the task than the engagement ring. The trouble is, just how much should one pay for an engagement ring?

The answer to this question isn’t always as easy as it might seem. There are multiple factors to consider when picking out an engagement ring. The three key factors to keep in mind when shopping for the ring are the typical prices of engagement rings, how much money can actually be spent on the engagement ring, and the style of the engagement ring. No one factor is more important than the other, instead they play on one another to the point where it’s important to address each factor equally. So, how much do engagement rings usually cost?

Just how much one can afford for an engagement ring often depends on two crucial factors. These factors are of course the amount of money that can be put away each paycheck, and how long the buyer is willing to wait. If a middle to high class ring is the objective, then the buyer may want to think about saving money over time. This means having an extra two or three hundred dollars taken out of each paycheck in order to secure enough money to buy a ring in the $2000 to $3000 dollar range within year’s span of time. It might be best to set the price limit lower if it’s impossible to put away that much money each month, or if the ring needs to be bought within the next few months. Rings that are under $1000 are the ideal target if faced with such constraints. Rings at that price can easily be saved up for with only a hundred dollars or less set aside each month. Thus, the rings can be purchased quickly if faced with demanding time constraints. There’s still one last factor to consider, and from a woman’s point of view it might be the only one that really matters.

If you can find the original documents that came with your engagement ring, they may include details such as style information or number and a way to identify the manufacturer. It can be easier to obtain a replacement if you go to the original maker with details as to style or model number and year of manufacture. If not, you will have to rely on an independent jeweler to remake your ring. For this, they need an appraisal that describes the stones, particularly the diamond, the type of metal used, for example, white gold, and the thickness of the metal. Take a series of photos and keep them stored safely. A video of the ring both on and off the finger can also be of assistance.

In the end, you’re going to do what you are comfortable with. If the difference in price is negligible, then buying at your local store makes perfect sense. However, for most of the population, that simply isn’t the case. If you buy your engagement ring online, you will likely save anywhere between 20-40% compared to your local stores. I would know-I recently bought an engagement ring online and saved thousands of dollars in doing so. Thanks for reading, and good luck!
