10k Engagement Rings
Many years ago De Beers had a promotional saying, “Is one month’s salary too much to pay for a lifetime”. This was meant to increase the overall spend for diamonds in Engagement Rings. The campain was extremely succesful because it actually gave people some idea of how much they should spend. Even it is being told by the Diamond Cutters themselves!.
Many of my customers still ask the same question,
“How much should I spend on an Engagement Ring”.
That’s not an easy question to answer someone, it depends on their budget primarily, how much can you afford? but even today the DeBeers Campain may have been acurate.
I’ve hand picked a few popular Halo Style Engagement Rings around the $10k price point including the main stone (Natural Diamond). They are all around the 1.00ct in size, set in 18ct Yellow Gold and of course i’ve selected the best cuts from their range with a good Color and Clarity.
