Engagement Etiquette: How Much Should You Spend on That Ring?

ENGAGEMENT RING

The sun is shining, and the sound of wedding bells rings through air. It’s summer, and it’s the perfect time for love. If you want your proposal to be picture perfect, summer is the perfect time to do it – but there’s one question that you need the answer to first.

Exactly how much should you spend on a diamond engagement ring?

Of course, you may have the option to spend nothing at all on your engagement ring – and at the same time make it far more meaningful.

An heirloom ring, one that has been passed down through the generations, can carry more meaning than even the most expensive of diamonds. If you’re lucky enough to have such a piece available to you, your decision is made much easier.

Bear in mind, though, that it may not be as straightforward as getting it out of the safe and dusting off the box. A ring that suited your great-grandmother perfectly might not look quite right on the finger of a 21st century bride-to-be. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to take such a ring and redesign it to create something that is bespoke, yet with all the sentimental value intact.

Perhaps the most important thing to consider is whether this is a choice you should make on your own, or one which you should make together.

If you don’t have a clue about whether she’d prefer a ring with a single stone or with three, if she likes brilliant cut or princess, or even if she’d favour platinum over gold, then you may think it a safer option to choose the ring together. We offer the privacy of our lovely bar area for this consultation, so that you can take the time over your choice with a glass of champagne, a pint of local ale or a soothing cup of tea or coffee.

If you are quite certain that you know your beloved’s tastes well, then a surprise proposal could be the perfect choice – and indeed, we would say that around 60% of the engagement rings we sell are for surprise proposals. And, for your complete peace of mind, we even offer to change it if she doesn’t like it as much as you hoped!

However much you plan to spend on your engagement ring, at Banks Lyon we aim to ensure that you get the perfect ring. We have the largest collection of diamond engagement rings in the North West, and over 35 years’ experience in buying and selling diamonds, all of which are at your disposal to make the process of choosing your engagement ring enjoyable and stress-free.
