Engagement Rings - A Perfect Gift to Show Your Love

Posted by iWedPlanner LLC on July 12th, 2016

An engagement ring is more than just a piece of jewelry. It is a sign of love and commitment for the person you hold dearest in your heart. Naturally, you want it to be perfect—you want a ring that is timeless and stands the tests of time. Here are other facts about engagement rings that might be worth knowing if you are in the market for one:

  • According to research, the average price of an engagement ring is ,500. But most grooms are actually willing to spend more than double that amount for an engagement ring.
  • Not all grooms buy the engagement ring. Statistics show that 20% of brides buy their own. What’s more, 42% of grooms say that their bride-to-be had an upper hand in the decision of choosing the engagement ring.
  • The most popular type of diamond is the round cut; in fact, 53% of engagement rings sold have this shape. In second place is the princess cut (30%).
  • The traditional engagement ring comes with a yellow gold band but in 2011, 70% of engagement rings sold were white gold.
  • Some of the most important features of an engagement ring, according to brides, include the overall design, the price, the diamond’s color, the size, and the sentimental meaning.
  • Researchers did a study on the connection of marital bliss with the price of engagement rings. It showed that men who spent ,000 to ,000 were likelier to get a divorce than those who spent only 0 to ,000. Interesting, right? Perhaps it’s time to rethink the tradition of buying an engagement ring that costs as much as three months of your salary. Purchase something more modest and save the money for your honeymoon or new house instead.
  • One of the biggest problems men have when buying an engagement ring is figuring out the size. If you really don’t have a way to find out the ring size of your lady, buy a large ring. It’s easier to resize bigger rings than those that are too snug.

Choosing an engagement ring can definitely be stressful. If you need help on what kind of ring to purchase and where to buy it, you can always use a wedding planner app. This is where you can find ring sellers and informative articles about engagement rings. What’s more, some wedding planner apps also come with a forum where you can talk to other people and seek advice on purchasing engagement rings.
