Engagement Rings Cost
How much should you spend on an engagement ring in the UK?
The average amount paid for an engagement ring in the UK is around £2,000 – but this varies hugely with geographical location, with people in the South of England and London typically spending between £3,500 and £6,500. Some people choose to follow rules, such as spending one or two months’ salary on an engagement ring (which, based on the national average salary would mean upward of £6,500) – but this is largely seen as an outdated rule. Instead, you should spend however much you feel comfortable, bearing in mind a minimum cost of around £1,300 for a quality ring.
The cost of engagement rings starts from around £1,300 for a quality crafted piece with a 0.30ct diamond, but the price you budget for a ring largely depends on how much you’re willing to spend. Choosing how much to spend on an engagement ring is a very personal decision, and most budgets can be catered to.
What is the average cost of an engagement ring?
Engagement rings start from around £1,400 for a quality-made ring with a natural 0.30ct diamond, or a little lower for a lab diamond ring. There’s no real limit to how much an engagement ring could cost because the prices of diamonds increase exponentially with size and quality. At Queensmith, our clients typically spend between £1,400 and £8,000.
Who pays for the engagement ring?
Typically, the person proposing will pay for the engagement ring. Most proposals are a surprise, meaning those who are proposed-to never find out the cost of their ring, nor contribute to the cost, but couples do often split the bill when it comes to their wedding rings. For couples that reach a mutual decision to get married without a typical proposal or when there are two rings involved, some couples will split the cost.
How much does a 1ct diamond ring cost?
1 ct engagement rings start at around £2,300 – but the price varies hugely depending on whether you choose a lab diamond or natural diamond.
A good quality 1 carat diamond typically costs £1,450 if it’s a loose lab grown diamond, or £6,000 if it’s a loose natural diamond. The total price of a 1 carat diamond ring will have the additional cost of the ring setting itself, starting at £850.
You should be aware that diamond prices fluctuate, and this should be used as a guide price accurate at the time of writing.
Engagement Rings & Traditions
What is the purpose of engagement rings?
Engagement rings are a token of commitment, gifted from one partner to another during or after their marriage proposal. As a durable, rare and extremely beautiful stone, diamonds are typically chosen for engagement rings, and are a good reflection of long lasting, unique love. Couples that choose not to marry still often choose to create a meaningful promise ring, similar in style to an engagement ring.
Which finger do you wear your engagement ring on?
Most people wear their engagement rings on their ‘ring finger’, the finger next to your pinky on your left hand. Some people move their engagement ring over to their right hand ring finger once they are married, wearing only their wedding ring on their left hand, but this is quite uncommon.
Learn more about how to wear your engagement ring.
Should you ever take your engagement ring off?
You can wear your engagement ring most of the time, including when bathing or sleeping – but there are some activities you should remove your ring for. If you’re in a situation where you think your ring could fall off, you may prefer to keep it in a safe place. Take your ring off when heavy lifting, at the gym or using abrasive cleaners, as these can knock, misshapen or damage your ring.
Can I propose without an engagement ring?
While you can propose with anything meaningful to you, engagement rings remain a popular choice. Many opt to propose with a loose diamond and design the ring together afterward. Alternatively, some propose without a ring and then select the diamond and design the ring together—a path chosen by many couples. However, most proposals still involve an engagement ring, whether it’s a surprise or a joint decision!
Choosing the Perfect Engagement Ring
Is it possible to return an engagement ring if my partner doesn't like it?
we offer a 40-day return period. During this time, you can receive a full refund or have the piece remade according to your or your partner’s preferences. For more details, please read our returns policy.
Should my engagement ring be chosen as a surprise?
Most people planning to propose prefer to keep the engagement ring a surprise, but the choice is entirely yours! Increasingly, couples are mutually deciding to get married and then design the ring together. If you want to keep the proposal a surprise but are unsure about selecting a ring on your own, consider proposing with a loose diamond and designing the ring together afterward. This way, you show that you’ve put thought into choosing the diamond without the pressure of picking the perfect ring.
Is it a good idea to choose my own engagement ring?
It’s entirely your decision whether you choose your own engagement ring, give your partner some guidance, or leave the choice completely to them. While surprises are still popular, revealed that 46% of UK women selected their engagement ring themselves or with their partner. The trend shows an increase in female buying power, with more women participating in the design process than ever before. Among same-sex and non-binary couples, there is an even split between those who choose their rings together and those who opt for surprise proposals.
Is a box included with an engagement ring?
Yes, similar to most jewelry stores, we provides a complimentary ring box with the purchase of an engagement ring.
The ring box is compact enough to discreetly fit in your pocket for the proposal day.
Additionally, your ring will come with a larger ‘keepsake’ box that includes the ring box, the diamond certificate, and a free polishing cloth.
