What did your engagement ring cost, married/engaged people?

Just got married today and the ring was 200-300 USD but that was mainly the stone which is a big pretty opal

About $1200 back in 2010. Got a nice enough ring she'd feel proud to show it to people, but didn't pay any more money than I'd saved up since I decided to propose.

To keep costs down I got a 'perfect' diamond with an occlusion you couldn't see without a jewelers loop, and had sapphires on the ring to add interest without increasing the size of the diamond.

I'm happy with the decision still 15 years later.

$2,158.57. It's a 1.06 carat ice blue sapphire

$700 for moissanite ring and wedding band:

I got a Stirling silver claddagh ring for my wife's engagement ring, i think it is $20 something. Our wedding rings were Stirling silver bands, $35 each and we had then engraved, which i think was $15 each.

Less than $1000. Moissanite > Diamond

About $4000 for a 1.5ct lab grown diamond+band.

About 9k. Its my wedding ring and engagement ring. I only have one ring. My husband and I chose it out together, lab grown, custom and the ring I anticipate to wear for my whole life. We are fortunate enough to afford it.

We went down to a pawn shop and I think we spent about $350 for both rings. They're both beautiful rings with real diamonds and a couple other stones

$6,500 NZD, for a custom made ring, with blue lab grown diamond and two small pear shaped lab grown clear diamonds. About 1.5 months salary.

If I got the maths right I paid the equivalent of € 510 for the pair. That was in '09 or '10, the actual cost was R$ 1100.

...it was a really nice pair. A shame the relationship didn't deserve it.

EDIT: worth mentioning it was an engagement, not a marriage.

i bought an engagement ring for around 10000 DKK / 1550 USD. Which I thought was a lot, but I really liked the ring! For myself I bought a ring for 1000 DKK

I think I spent 400 for engagement ring and wedding bands together. Over time, it became clear that none of the rings matched, and only one of the three is quality material.

I wish I had spent more on the engagement ring to get a setting that doesn't stick out so much, it's too stabby and scratchy. I'd also want to track down a lab grown diamond if I had it to do over again.

$5000 CAD I think. My band is$300. But I'm wearing $10 bigger ring from Amazon. Fingers get chubby so the expensive rings are in a box for years now

About 60€ for the wedding bands. Bought them on Etsy, made of epoxied wood with some blue in it, handmade in Poland. I insisted in not buying expensive since my husband is prone to misplace things. I was right. Not even a year in, he lost his. I now keep mine in a box. We talked about replacing his, but it is not really important for us. And we kept removing them for bouldering, cooking and other activities. Our bond does not rely on a ring.

I designed my wife's wedding ring. I drew it up the evening we decided to get married. I still have the drawing. I then found a small independent custom shop and had it made. The diamond is actually small but looks massive because of the design.

Cost me $1,200 for it. Most of it was in the hours of labor to make it back in '00.

My grandmother gave me hers, so free. But I ended up getting a wedding band for somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500, made custom to match the engagement ring which was alternating sapphires and diamonds. Lab grown small diamonds, but I think it was 4 of them with 3 sapphires, plus a 18k gold band.

I spent too much on real diamond before I knew any better. So I was complicit in blood money, and now it's worth 2 percent of what I spent.

No engagement rings, by our values those are kinda corny. Wedding rings we got from a jewelry factory that supplies much of the country, which happens to be local to where we lived at the time. Got them at factory price. Not quite $12, but not much higher. :)

Zero. We didn't get engagement rings, not later wedding bands. The first few years of our marriage we used to get asked about the wedding bands a lot, but people eventually got used to us not having any. I think it's probably been about 15 years since we last got asked about them.

$1000 for my 1ct rose gold white sapphire ring, about $200 for hubby's ring from Etsy. Funny thing is just about every year after that, we've bought cool Etsy rings and enjoy them more than our initial ones. Etsy rings for the win 😊

About $2000

My wife's engagement ring was a simple opal design that cost like 40 or 50 bucks on Amazon.

~$200 for the actual wedding rings, ordered off Etsy.

Engagement was €1500 as I recall; way too much, but it is pretty. We both worked with our hands at the time of marriage so $40 was our wedding ring budget and got tungsten carbide, which has its own (safety) issues. Currently wearing an overpriced but pretty silicone ring.

3D printed, so a few cents. And an $8 fancy one.

We are fortunate enough to be able to afford more, and since my wife is a physicist we will eventually design our own setting for a manufactured stone because we like to do these types of things. But realistically it isn't that important to us as it's been a number of years now.

I'm curious though, why do you ask?

It was around $500 in the mid-90's. The stone was a high quality sapphire, which made up nearly all of the price.

I don't think I have ever bought a diamond.
