$10,000 Engagement Ring

While the New York Times reports that most Americans only spend two week’s pay on an engagement ring, a $10,000 budget starts to open opportunities for custom pieces, higher quality stones, and a more intimate buying experience resulting in a treasured piece that lasts generations.

What Kind Of Engagement Rings Can $10,000 Buy?

A $10,000 engagement ring begins to open opportunities for a larger carat diamond, a better cut or clarity grade, or perhaps a better color grade. Along with the potential for a higher quality stone, $10,000 may allow for a unique setting with more stones, beautiful and intricate metalwork, and special personalized details shared just between you and your partner.

How To Get The Best Value For Your Money

The two key factors to ensure the best value for your money on your engagement ring purchase are the 4Cs and a skilled jeweler. Here’s our tips on both: 

Understand The 4Cs Of Diamonds

If you’re set on buying a classic diamond engagement ring, it’s important to learn the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat. These factors determine the diamond’s quality.

Choose A Reputable Jeweler

Buying a diamond engagement ring is arguably one of the most important purchases in your lifetime. To ensure you are getting the most for your money and to ensure the most enjoyable shopping experience, be sure to shop with a reputable jeweler.
