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 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.
