Does anyone have advice on wedding ring budgeting?

Hi all, I’m ready to take the next step in life, proposing to my gf now. So the question is, wedding ring. I know there isn’t a hard and fast amount for rings but just seeking advice from the community. Any rule of thumb on the amount to be set aside for a ring? Or what are your considerations etc.

For engagement ring, avoid the local jewellery chains like the plague. Their margins are very high and the diamonds (assuming you are getting a diamond engagement ring) are not worth the price you pay. Consider going to boutique places and jannpaul; their selection is excellent for the price and they will give you a tutorial on diamond selection to boot with no obligation.

For diamonds, cut is most important out of the 4Cs.

If you have a specific custom design in mind, jannpaul may be able to accommodate as well.

Do factor in lead time. It may take about 2 months from diamond selection to collection.

For wedding bands, if you like any design from the place where you got your engagement ring from, they may offer a discount on this. Otherwise, places like love and Co are ok as well for simple bands.

Proposing ring or wedding ring? either or I always choose gold ring. Mine was (+-6g 916) costs at $600+.. get a gold ring than a diamond ring it has a better Value in case cash is needed.

1) must see what size the diamond will look nice on finger.
2) does she want to wear the engagement ...
