Choosing An Engagement Ring

Looking for the perfect engagement ring that doesn 't cost a fortune? An engagement ring is the classic symbol of love between a man and a woman. Getting engaged shows the world just how much you mean to each other, and is the start of the next chapter in your life. It is not something to be taken lightly, but you will know when it feels right.

Found the woman of your dreams but short of cash? Surprising your fiancee with an engagement ring she will love is a lot easier than you might think. Here you can find affordable engagement rings without sacrificing quality or style - maximum impact for a low price - none of the rings are over $500.

The tradition of wearing an engagement ring was started by the Egyptians, who believed that the circle was a symbol of the bond between the man and woman to be married.

How Much To Spend On An Engagement Ring

How Much Should An Engagement Ring Cost?

Wealth AffirmationsHow much you spend on an engagement ring is a personal matter, and there is an unwritten rule banded about that you should spend around two months salary. However in these modern days when money is often in short supply just throw the rule book away! It's much more important to consider your fiancee's style, her lifestyle and the shape of her hand and fingers than the amount of money you should spend.

Don't stress if your budget is tight - there are loads of affordable engagement rings that she will treasure. Does she like modern jewelry, or is she more traditional? What's her favourite gemstone? Although diamonds are the most common gemstone for an engagement ring, there's nothing to stop you choosing something a little different.

    I think it matters a lot. I would hope the guy would not go into debt just to buy something extra extravagant. I think it's much sweeter of a gesture when there is a little sacrifice such as picking up a night or weekend job to earn some extra cash for a nicer ring or maybe cutting out a luxury to set aside some money. That to me is a much bigger gesture than putting a larger ring on credit that you'll have to pay off as a couple in your married life.
