Why Choose an Expensive Engagement Ring?

Love has no value, but the value of an engagement ring can sometimes be significant. The price of an engagement ring lies in its quality. Indeed, the most expensive models highlight the best materials available. But how much should an engagement ring cost?

In general, the most expensive diamond solitaires feature larger diamonds with flawless cut and clarity.  For some couples, the larger the diamond, the more meaningful the engagement. However, it's important not to forget that the ring is only a symbol marking the event and that there are models to suit every budget.

The Criteria Determining the Engagement Ring Price

An engagement ring’s value varies from one model to another. The prices set by jewellery stores are based on various criteria that make a ring more or less expensive. The aspects jewellers consider when determining a ring’s value include:


  • The gemstone quality Whether the ring has one or more precious stones, you should check their quality to find out if the price is right. To do this, couples can refer to the four Cs: carat, cut, clarity and colour, which determine the characteristics of gemstones. Thus, a ring with several stones will not necessarily have the same price as a very high-quality diamond solitaire.

  • The quality of metals. Prices also vary between gold, silver or platinum and depend on the composition of the precious metals used to make the engagement ring. Among the most common are 750 (18-carat) gold and 925 (92.5% purity) silver, which are affordable for all budgets. Platinum is considered the most expensive material.


Apart from the main features, the ring value can also differ depending on the brand or its place of purchase. The same applies to the design because some models are rarer than others, which creates an important contrast.
