To me, money isn’t everything. It’d be nice if I got something that cost a lot, but I’d also be fine with something cheap as long as it’s high-quality and not like a Temu ring or something.
We got each other the same ring off Amazon for $12.😂 😅
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.
$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.
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.
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.
Like 30 USD for the ring, 300 for the wedding fee. We went out for a nice lunch so another 200 for 8 guests.
A few bottles of cheap champagne too.
$700 for moissanite ring and wedding band:
Amazingggg!
I had no idea what to spend, but everyone told me three months salary. So that’s what I paid. Was it too much, too little? I don’t know, but I was dumbly in love. Still am, and I don’t think about how much I spent now.
It doesn’t matter the price anyway, im sure they loved it!
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.
That’s very awesome!!
$2,158.57. It’s a 1.06 carat ice blue sapphire
Beautiful!!
Thanks! My wife picked the ring design, I picked the stone.
This is my wedding band
And we got the matching band for her engagement ring
We got married later in life which is why we could afford these, otherwise we would have gotten something more modest.
$100
Moissinite
Rings costing more is a scam
Agreed, as someone who’s buying my fiancé a $12 Amazon ring. We’re matching!
The cost of the ring doesn’t matter. Ultimately it’s about what the ring represents; the bond and commitment you’ve made.
I was never a ring guy before, never really liked having things on my hands/fingers all the time.
Before we got married my wife got me an inexpensive, simple sterling silver comfort fit band from Kohls as a ‘tester’.
If something happened to my current wedding band I wouldn’t replace it with a new one, I’d switch to that old inexpensive silver one because a new one wouldn’t be mine. It would be the one she slipped on my hand on our wedding day.
Same here. I think it was more like $300 for a pair of matching rings from a small etsy seller though. Hers with moissinite, mine with an inlay of copper and titanium shaving for some color.
Yup, eBay customized ring, completely replaceable. We saved the money from the ring cost and put it towards a down payment. 1000% sure it was a better use of money
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.
I love thatttt!
Less than $1000. Moissanite > Diamond
That sounds pretty!
The life of my great grandmother technically, though I’m sure she would have given it to me anyway.
Oh my gosh!
Oh it’s fine, she always intended to leave me her engagement ring, she just happened to pass before I got engaged.
About $4000 for a 1.5ct lab grown diamond+band.
Haha… Damn that’s what I got but it was like 5 years ago and 6k
I am assuming this is more recent purchase?
2 years ago, I’m surprised everyone here is getting a deal.
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
That sounds so pretty!!
