its not how much, its whether it comes from the heart or not

Price really doesn't have anything to do with it...if it does, I would rethink who I was going to give it do. It's the thought, the finding the perfect one for her/him, the story behind it, the expression of your love.

Engagement Rings are an emotional attachment so it would be wrong to compare it with money. In such cases it's the heart that does the job. If you like the ring and are sure that your loved one would also like like it, just go for it.

It would entirely depend on my budget and income. I think a fair amount would be $1000 to $5000 but you must decide what is comfortable for you. You don't want to start your committment in debt. My wife and I went together to pick it out. We picked a expensive and beautiful one of a kind platinum setting but I could not afford the stone it required. So we bought a cubic zirconium stone that was hand made in Germany and to this day even though I am a retired millionaire she will not let me replace the stone. She says it's a sentimental symbol of our past. And to this day no one has ever said or noticed it to be fake even many jewelers that clean it for her.

The conventional way to go about this is to spend two months of a yearly salary, some in the engagement ring industry will say 6% of a yearly salary is perfect as well. No matter what you spend, make sure to start with a budget and seek the absolute best quality GIA, EGL, or AGS certified loose diamond and ring setting for your budget. Remember, the engagement ring represents your endless love and commitment towards her. For more engagement ring and diamond guidance please visit us at http://www.edwardjamesandco.com

I've heard that an engagement ring should be 3 months salary. Now, if someone can barely scrape enough money together to cover all their monthly expenses anyway - then paying that amount definitely isn't a good idea!

I tend to lose things, so I wouldn't want to pay much for something that I would wear on a daily basis. I honestly don't care about the ring either. Now if someone could convince me to marry them, I think they got the hardest part out of the way... :P

That depends on your finances and your goals for the future. Sometimes, it is more wise and practical to buy a less expensive ring now, and get a better one after you have been married for a while. But everyone has to make that decision on their own.
