You are really going to need to set a budget for your ring because there are so many choices and so many different prices for wedding rings.




HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU SPEND ON A WEDDING RING?
You don't need to put yourself in hock for your rings.............

Spending two months salary on a diamond engagement ring is just someones made up guideline for purchasing a ring. But it does serve as a guide when there really is none. You should spend as much as you think you can comforatably afford. You don't want to be in hock and making payments on a ring for the next 15 years. Someone said "Buying a diamond is not like buying a car which will depreciate over time." A diamond ring will become a family heirloom and can be passed down from generation to generation. Years down the road that diamond ring will be worth much more than the day you purchased it.

In 2005 the average cost of a wedding soared to $26,327, according to one survey of 1000 brides. This needs to be taken into consideration when adding the cost of your ring. The average cost of an engagement ring was $4,146, up 39% since 1999. So, as you can see, the cost of wedding ring sets is most likely to rise in the future. These may be extreme costs as more typical prices may range around $20,000 for the wedding and $1100 for wedding ring sets.

When you are shopping for the rings you will notice that they sometimes come in bridal sets which consist of engagement rings and wedding bands. These sets match perfectly and can be both worn together or separately.There are many styles of the bridal sets from interlocking bands, matching designs and more. A lot of the time there will be a solitaire with or without accents on one ring and a band with or without stones on the other. A matching set is beautiful but remember the cost will be a more than the engagement ring alone. Be sure and ask the bride if she prefers a matching set or a single ring. Bands, rings and bridal jewelry are not only pieces of jewelry but significant symbols of love and commitment. Be sure a look at many different types and styles. They are kept a lifetime and you want to be sure it is what you want.
