ENGAGEMENT RING ESSENTIALS
There are multiple factors you’ll want to consider when designing your ring. These include:
THE 4 C’s
The 4 C’s refer to the 4 main attributes that make up the perfect gemstone. They are:
CUT
CARAT
COLOUR
CLARITY
Together, each of these details informs the quality and appearance of your diamond, making them a top priority in the selection process.
BAND MATERIAL
Selecting the right metal or alloy for your band is an important decision that will not only play a role in the overall style and look of the ring, but will make sure that your beloved has the right option that’s free from any specific allergens. Gold remains the most popular option for both engagement and wedding bands, but additional selections include:
SIZE AND FIT
Once you have all the stylistic details decided upon, all that’s left to figure out is the size and desired fit of your ring. Paris Jewellers offers a comfortable fit that makes it easy for your fiancé to wear their new ring without any discomfort thanks to a carefully curved fit on the interior of the band.

HOW MUCH DO ENGAGEMENT RINGS COST?
If you’re ready to take the next step in your relationship and commit to spending your life with the one you love, finding the right engagement ring to symbolize your love story and complete your proposal is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Paris Jewellers is here to make finding the perfect ring simple, and to guide you through every step of the selection process so you (and the one you love) feel confident when it comes time to pop the question.
We know that choosing a ring can often feel daunting, especially when it comes to knowing how, and how much to budget for. With the help of Paris’ experts, finding the right fit that aligns with your budget is easy and hassle-free. Below we’ll cover some of the basics to keep in mind when deciding on, and shopping with, your budget.
AVERAGE ENGAGEMENT RING COST
At Paris Jewellers, we believe that everyone’s love story is unique, and no two couples are alike. That’s why contrary to popular belief and supposed “rules” that you may have heard, there’s no set amount that you “should” spend on an engagement ring! While you can find plenty of stats regarding the average national spend from year to year (for example, in 2020, the average price of an engagement ring in the US was $5500), the only number that truly matters is the one you decide upon.
When budgeting for a ring, consider your current financial state, any upcoming factors that may change this (i.e. buying a new home, starting a new job, etc), as well as your overall financial comfort as a couple. There’s no denying that diamonds, or any precious stone, are an investment in your future and will cost a fair amount, but the good news is if you take the time to figure out what your comfort point is, you’ll be able to find a gorgeous ring that’s well within budget and sure to wow your partner.
WHAT INFLUENCES COST
There are a number of different factors that affect the cost of an engagement ring, including the materials used in the band, the stone itself, settings, custom additions or original designs, and more. For your center stone, in particular, it’s crucial to consider the 4 C’s:
- CUT
- COLOUR
- CLARITY
- CARAT
The 4C’s are there to ensure both the quality and longevity of your diamond, meaning that finding the right stone is about far more than size alone. Each one of the 4C’s plays a vital role in influencing the overall rating of your diamond, as well as the cost.
POPULAR STYLES
Selecting the style for your engagement ring will play a big part in influencing the many components that go into the final product. For example, if you plan on getting an iconic solitaire setting, you’ll want to find both the right kind of metal, as well as a quality center stone to fully showcase the beauty of this style. Other styles like halos with or without a pave band, emerald cuts, three stone, and more will give you more variety and plenty of opportunities to find a unique fit!
