You've got a say in many of the ring's aspects while looking for one with the perfect stone in it. It all comes down to the Four C's. The C's stand for Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat Weight. But also the Shape and settings determine how your ring and diamond are going to end up. If you remember the Four C's, you can influence the looks and the price of you diamond ring. So you've also got a major influence on your wallet!
Make the diamond ring as expensive as you want
There is no law that states how much you are supposed to pay for a diamond engagement ring. Obviously it's up to how much you've got and how much you're willing to spend. But this can vary immensely. Because an engagement ring isn't just a simple little thing, people tend to think of a very expensive exclusive piece of jewelry. On the contrary. Of course you can pick a huge shining rock that's worth a house, but if you don't have the money, don't sweat. Diamonds are not as expensive (well, not all of them) as you'd think. Pay attention and get off easily and cheap!
Choose your own engagement ring, and your own price!
During the search for your ideal engagement ring you're up for some decisions and choices. The shape, color, cut, clarity and carat weight of the diamond for example. Your can choose them yourselves. As there are no rules for the costs of the diamond ring, there are some rules for diamonds themselves. And those rules can be manipulated by you and no one but you. So the costs are something you control. Cool!
Two month salary
In countries like America is quite common to spend approximately two month salaries on an engagement ring. With other words, the ring is as much worth as the amount of money you get after working for two months. But of course, this depends on what kind of job you've got. And if you find a pretty ring you think is right for engagement, why not buy it if it's cheaper? It's not a rule, it's something some people do. So don't worry if you think it's too much. As long as the ring covers the priceless value of your love and connection together, all's well in the jungle! The price is up to you. And with the Four C's, you'll know what a good deal is and what isn't.
Pressure from sales man
Whatever happens, make sure you're not talked into a diamond ring you don't want in the first place. This happens when you walk into a jewelry store without too much information and the sales people pick you out. There's always pressure from above, and the price is always higher than you imagined up front. It's just what some people do, they talk you into buying the next best ring, while you are not prepared and ready for it. Make sure you know what your options are and go online to pick the ring you like! Prices are always better than in a jewelry store and the offer is always bigger and broader online. Control your own budget, it's not that hard!
