What did your engagement ring cost, married/engaged people?

To me, money isn’t everything. It’d be nice if I got something that cost a lot, but I’d also be fine with something cheap as long as it’s high-quality and not like a Temu ring or something.

We got each other the same ring off Amazon for $12.😂 😅

  • It was around $500 in the mid-90's. The stone was a high quality sapphire, which made up nearly all of the price.

    I don't think I have ever bought a diamond.

  • I got a Stirling silver claddagh ring for my wife's engagement ring, i think it is $20 something. Our wedding rings were Stirling silver bands, $35 each and we had then engraved, which i think was $15 each.

  • $6,500 NZD, for a custom made ring, with blue lab grown diamond and two small pear shaped lab grown clear diamonds. About 1.5 months salary.

  • I think I spent 400 for engagement ring and wedding bands together. Over time, it became clear that none of the rings matched, and only one of the three is quality material.

    I wish I had spent more on the engagement ring to get a setting that doesn't stick out so much, it's too stabby and scratchy. I'd also want to track down a lab grown diamond if I had it to do over again.

  • If I got the maths right I paid the equivalent of € 510 for the pair. That was in '09 or '10, the actual cost was R$ 1100. ::: spoiler maths Acc. to this gov calculator 1100 reals in June 2009 have the same purchase power as 3277 reals in April 2025. The current real/euro conversion rate is 6.42:1, so 3277/6.42 = 510. ::: ...it was a really nice pair. A shame the relationship didn't deserve it.

    EDIT: worth mentioning it was an engagement, not a marriage.
