How much does the engagement ring have to cost?

Most women expect an impressive ring at their proposal. A white gold ring with brilliant is an excellent choice. A brilliant has an enormous sparkle that’s even more emphasized in combination with white gold. In terms of budget, women expect the ring to cost 2000 euros or more.

Is this how men think about it? Research shows that men are usually prepared to spend more on a ring than their future bride expects. But a third of the men wants to go shopping together first, to discover each other’s style.

Most women prefer an engagement period between 12 and 18 months. For men, there are a lot of different opinions. A big part wants to marry within 6 months after the proposal. But another big part prefers an engagement period of 2 years. So, men want to marry immediately or wait very long.
