Frequently Asked Questions
How much should you spend on an engagement ring?
The old rule of 2-3 months salary is outdated. Financial experts suggest spending what you can comfortably afford without going into debt, typically 1-2 months of income.
Is financing an engagement ring a good idea?
0% financing can be smart if you pay it off on time. Avoid high-interest financing as a $5,000 ring at 20% APR over 3 years costs over $6,700 total.
What is the average engagement ring cost?
The average engagement ring costs $5,000 to $7,000 in the US. However, beautiful rings are available at every price point from $500 and up.
