One of the first questions that pop into the head of anyone who is thinking of proposing to their beloved is: How much should I spend on the engagement ring? The most common answer you will hear from people is “worth two months of your salary”, but as someone who has sold thousands of natural sapphire engagement rings from $1,500 to over $40,000, let us tell you this old tradition is not a good measurement anymore.
Rationally, you have two major things to consider: The expectations of your fiancé on one hand and your financial capacity on the other. The goal is to find the perfect balance between the two, and in this blog, we will tell you exactly how you can go about doing that.
To start with, always remember that you are to:
Buy a thoughtful engagement ring, not the most expensive one
There is hardly any successful engagement that happens with the person being proposed completely taken by surprise. People only get serious about tying the knot when they know the other person like the back of their hand and want to continue being with them for the rest of their lives. As such, it hardly makes sense to buy such an important token, not to mention an expensive one, completely blind. You can talk with your partner about it before to get an idea of what she likes and would want. Because in the end every woman is different, and where some would want a flashy Sapphire engagement ring, another may appreciate a more subdued version of the stone.

How much should I borrow to buy an engagement ring?
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, the answer is $0.
Do not, in any case, get into debt for jewelry. There is leading evidence in support of the fact that debt kills marriages. If the engagement is about marriage and marriage is about a partnership you will take into your old age, you must avoid unnecessary debt.
For our customers looking at a sapphire engagement ring, we offer wholesale prices that offer them large financial savings compared to retail pricing. How can we keep our prices so low? We don’t pay commission to any of our employees and we don’t spend thousands of dollars on marketing.
It’s estimated that a typical store or large website will take over 50% of what you spend on commissions & marketing and this is before they make a profit.
Today a good quality 3.5 ct sapphire ring can fetch prices online or at your local jewelry store for well over $15,000.00. Even though these prices for a sapphire this size is quite normal, it doesn’t have to be.
Definitely! Buying your engagement ring at wholesale prices will save you thousands of dollars, & at this point in time, you want to save as much as you can for future wedding costs.
To present you with a real-life example, one of our customs made platinum diamond rings set with a natural royal blue 3.50-carat sapphire. Before you balk at how much such an exquisite ring would have cost them, let us tell you: you can purchase the same thing from us for under $6,500. That is a saving of several thousand dollars! Of course, the ring also comes with the full GIA report of authenticity, which essential when buying any gemstone or diamond.
