Diamond Engagement

When you propose to your sweetheart you want an impressive rock for her to show off. The general rule for the price of an engagement is at around 2 months salary, but that is just a general guidline.

Have an idea of what you want, read up and find what you think your love will like, most jewelers offer credit accounts to help with payments so that is always an option for those with credit. remember that your future wife will like what you pick out for her because you pick it out and it comes from the heart.

The average engagement ring is approximately 1/2 carat total diamond weight. so that should be the starting point for finding the perfect ring. sizes are not so important, 99% of stock rings come in a size 6.75, give or take a 1/4 size. so if you dont know the size, dont guess, wait until after the proposal to get the ring sized or bring a ring of hers to find out the size, without her knowing.

2months salary is not a guideline. It was a marketing from debeers for soilders returning home from ww2. Since so many engagements happened debeers starting this marketing in 1949 and it has stuck and that what has been passed on.
