How much was your engagement ring

I would actually be PISSED if my partner spent that on a ring 😂 give me the 10k instead. My engagement ring was $70 at Walmart and I keep it safe to give my future daughter in law. My wedding ring was $500 because my husband that made the decision and I already thought it was too much.

I actually don't know and I don't care lol

Mine was around 100 pounds 🤣 I would be mad if my Hubby would spend so much money on a ring 🥴 even our wedding rings where under 1k 🤣

I don’t have one, we just have wedding bands.

Engagement ring was a mixture of Pandora and Amazon. My first engagement ring my husband proposed to me was $25 on Amazon. When we got married, my wedding ring set was $30 from Amazon.

Mine was just over $2000 and it’s perfect. It’s exactly what I wanted (didn’t want a diamond so really brought down the price) I don’t think the price matters as long as it’s what you want and fits your budget

How does he know the cost of your mother’s ring?

Beg him not to spend this much on a ring. What a waste on money that could have a big impact on your quality of life

Don't know and don't care, it's the thought that counts for me

Mine was £700 on sale from £1400 . I didn't want one thst was too expensive and I was trying to find one cheaper that I liked but couldn't. I don't wear it as it always scratched our LG when I changed her nappy and now that baby number 2 is nearly here I prob won't wear it for a while . My partner doesn't mind as he knows the reasons why I don't wear it plus it doesn't fit right now lol

My husband just upgraded my ring and it’s worth more than I thought it’d be. I made a comment and husband got offended 😂 I didn’t mean to offend him I just thought it’d be crazy to spend that much money on a ring. He’s also not big on financing so I knew he paid cash, but I offended him for assuming.

I think mine was around £350. My wedding band was a lot more. My partners wedding band even more! He splashed out of himself.

Mine I think was about £5-6k however my husband is a higher earner. I’d have been happy with any ring at any price point or even vintage/hand me down. If he’d have spent more than he did I would have been (silently) pissed as it would have been financially out of our comfort zone but honestly, it’s not the price that matters at all. I hope your partner doesn’t feel pressured by family! It sounds like you’re already doing a good job to reassure him.

Mine was over £7k but he’s a high earner so he didn’t blink twice. I did though when I had the documents out to redo the insurance on it 😂 I don’t mind though but i am glad it was a bit more than I would be able to normally spend on me, that’s kind of the point of it like a display of his intent and commitment. I have spent £1/2k on myself before without thinking so it needed to be something I couldn’t afford myself xx

Plus inflation doesn’t help things. My partner I feel is going to ask me soon and I just hope he didn’t go overboard price wise

@Sarah We still technically don’t have ours insured 😬😬😬 I can’t afford to pay it with nursery bills so asked him to sort and he hasn’t! I would be gutted if lost but it’s not a unique design it’s a classic one

@Madeleine mine is declared as part of the house content insurance. It covers loss, damage and theft (living in London that’s my concern). I haven’t worn it though in a few months as weirdly my fingers have shrunk during this pregnancy and it was hanging off me, so it’s safe at home 🤔

Mine should have been £1200, but we got it in the sale for about £350 🤣

@Sarah I was literally going to say this too, I can’t remember from first time round but pregnant now and I’m sure my fingers have shrunk! Luckily the wedding band is tighter so so far so good but it is a worry 😅

My partner wants to spend thousands and I have shown him over and over again gorgeous rings under 1k and he absolutely refuses to not spend thousands which I think is insane. I’d literally be so happy with a ring just a few hundred!!

Like $250

around 2k

Mine was over 10k

First one was less than $500, wedding set was $1500, upgraded set was like $2,000 🥴🤣 all to end up divorced… so yeah the price is less important than marriage to the right person IMO

i don’t want to say the exact number but it was over $20,000. only found out because i had to get it insured

@quiddo is this common in Asian culture as another lady commented saying hers was over 10k too

now that you mention it actually i do notice asians typically have expensive engagement rings! but i think it’s a fairly new concept adapted from western culture, in japan after engagement women typically only wear wedding bands for more everyday practical wear but in america i see wearing the entire wedding stack is common, as for the price i do think asian men want to buy expensive rings to show the woman’s family they can provide, the cost of the ring is the start/just a small example of the life he will give his partner

I'd be so fucking anxious walking around with anything over 1k on my finger 😳 pls no

I would be so anxious if my partner spent anything more than a few hundred and have explicitly told him this multiple times. I'd be constantly scared of loosing it if it was any more expensive. I'd much rather spend that money on making memories. Luckily I tend to wear vintage style fashion and there's some beautiful rings in our favourite antique shop for like 200 pound max

9.5k but my husband does earn a lot x

Band was a little over 3k, diamond (same from my engagement ring) was around 2500 I think
