What to Consider When Buying an Engagement Ring
Engagement Rings FAQs
An engagement ring is a ring, usually adorned with diamonds, that is worn to indicate that a person is engaged to be married. An engagement ring is traditionally given during a proposal. Engagement rings vary in style these days but are usually crafted from precious metal and adorned with gemstones or diamonds.
The average amount spent on an engagement ring in New Zealand is $6,500, according to Easy Wedding's 2023 Australian wedding industry report. However, there is no right or wrong answer to this question, as the amount you spend should depend on your budget and what feels comfortable for you. Some people choose to follow the "two months' salary" rule, while others prefer to spend less or more. It is important to discuss your budget with your partner and make a decision together that you are both happy with. No matter how much you spend, make sure to choose a ring that your partner will love and cherish for years to come.
To choose an engagement ring for your partner, you first need to understand what style they like. If you already have an idea, that is perfect! However, if you are unsure, try asking their friends and family for some tips. Once you know what engagement ring style you are looking for, you will need to set a budget, learn about the 4 C’s of diamonds, and find their ring size. Don’t worry though - our jewellery experts are always available to offer you expert advice either in-store or online. Remember to give yourself enough time to search for the perfect ring as you will need to be prepared to order in advance.
