How much was your engagement ring?

[FoodGloriousFud]

Feeling nosey! I was on another thread where the OP had £600 to spend on an engagement ring and the first comment was how it was a lot of money and was she sure she wanted to spend that much.

Mine was £650 almost 30 years ago. We chose it together, it's yellow gold with an oval ruby surrounded by small diamonds. It's very much of its time, but I loved it then & I love it now.

@Tomboytown Oh no, I'd be heartbroken. Had you had it long?

Less than £40 (cubic zirconia). Means I don't stress out over losing it although it obviously now has sentimental value and I'm not really a diamond person. I'm pretty sure my wedding ring was around the same price too.

£4000, I love it.

£600 ten years ago

@DramaAlpaca Yours sounds beautiful, I love coloured stones.

£2500 ish

First one £250
Second one £1500
Same DH

New ring set for special anniversary.

One of my friends has a £50k ring!! It's beaut but it would scare me wearing it!

I think it was about £100. I am worth it though ;)

Mine was my grandmothers soninlov d it for sentimental reasons. She insisted we had it insured when she gave it to my DH ... we finally got round to it recently and it’s valued figure over 10k

£2.5k but i chose one at £990. wish i'd gone for the £2.5k with larger stone as the one i have now looks miniature on my finger now i've got heavier. sigh!

My first was £800 20 years ago but we've recently changed it and it cost £8300 , a lot of money I know but our circumstances have changed a lot.

£2500 but it’s valued at 3K - not sure how that all works, large very pale barely pink emerald cut sapphire, diamonds either side white gold band and 14 stone diamond band wedding ring, we only paid £500 for the wedding band to be made as I already had the stones from a late relative but would have cost 4 times that if bought new so very lucky - love them both DH designed the engagement ring with the jeweller and we have the original drawing framed 💕

About £3000. It’s perfect

It paid just over £2k when we bought it in Antigua. Got it valued in the Uk, around the £4K mark.

@DramaAlpaca you've described my dream ring! OH knows when the time comes I want a yellow gold ring with an oval ruby surrounded by small diamonds. My engagement ring from my ex husband was a 1 carat marquise cut diamond ring on a platinum band. It was about £4K and flashy. I have no desire for that anymore. A few hundred quid will do.

I think about 5k but it was twenty years ago so difficult to remember. I love it still but sadly it is now in my jewellery box as I am in the middle of a divorce.

I miss my bling ... the only thing I do miss!

Over £2000 & I never wear it due to fear of losing it. Luckily my wedding ring was less than a quarter of that so I don't ever take it off!

My first was around £3k a halo affair and the second was extortionately expensive £20k but if I’m honest I preferred the first but maybe that’s because my first boyfriend was a lot bloody nicer!

Can’t remember exactly but somewhere in the £500-£650 region. It’s a thin band with a small diamond, not much to look at but it’s very me, I’m not a big blingy jewellery person. I had my wedding ring made (the band on my engagement ring is shapped but the jewellers didn’t do a wedding ring to fit) and that was about £400.

£1200 palladium, single diamond, flower cut I think 🤷‍♀️ I love it, it's perfect for me!

Some where around £2200, I had narrowed it down to 3, a cheaper one, a mid priced one and expensive one. DH chose it. It was a waste of money really as I've never worn either ring, not seen them in years.

@FoodGloriousFud it is three stones, the central slightly larger than the two on either side. I can’t actually remember if it is white gold or platinum . The stones are apparently of a really high colour and clarity. I think the weight is about 2.7ct. I don’t actually know how much it cost but have deduced apprx value from things he has said over the years (engaged approx 8 years ago).

10 years- It’s worse- my husband died- it might still turn up- but we’ve been looking for 5 months

I haven’t got an engagement ring but my wedding ring was a fiver from the little tray on the Monsoon counter.
