Phew! Would You Want Your Spouse to Spend $20,000 on an Engagement Ring?

There’s a new Trend Report.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, aren’t they?

The Cosmopolitan’s Engagement Ring Trend Report 2022 is all about what people actually think about engagement rings and their traditions.

Here are some interesting insights:

  • Most people want to know what their ring will look like ahead of time.
  • Diamonds are still a girl’s best friend and in style.
  • The most popular diamond cut is round.
  • A whopping 78% announced their engagement via social media with a ring pic!

Here’s an example from Pinterest:

  • Almost everyone (92%) plans to tell their partners the designs they want.

One of the most important things to consider is the price tag.

What do you think should your partner spend on your engagement ring?

Cosmopolitan asked people who are currently dating or single.

30% said:

  • between $5,000 and $10,000

Phew!

Here’s what engaged and married people said about what their ring actually cost:

  • 26% say their ring cost between $5,000 and $10,000
  • 27% say $10,000 and $20,000

Wow!

Apparently, there’s a general rule that states:

You should spend three months worth of your hard-earned income on an engagement ring.

What?

It’s not a jewelry contest, it’s an invitation to get married.

I found this lovely tweet by Zoe:

This reminds me of my own story.

My husband also just wanted to marry me and his budget was tight.

My husband hasn’t upgraded the engagement ring yet.

Although my dad constantly complained about my small engagement ring.

There’s a deeper meaning behind an engagement ring.

Final Takeaway

I think it’s good that Cosmopolitan is highlighting this popular topic.

There are thousands of questions from to-be-weds on the internet.

They ask questions on Quora and other forums about the size and the appropriate amount to spend on an engagement ring.

What’s appropriate? What’s not?

My boyfriend’s surprise on top of a mountain at Lake Garda in Italy meant the world to me.

In my view, the small ring was perfect.

Most of my colleagues who got big, shiny diamond rings aren’t married anymore.

My father is also divorced.
