Engagement Ring Question? Please give me some advice.?

How much is the average range a guy should spend on a girl's engagement ring today? If it is 729 and it was orginally marked for 3,000 does it mean it is of poor quality? He got it from khols. It don't think they would be giving a 3,000 ring away so easily. If you give me your opinion. Thank you.Engagement Ring Question? Please give me some advice.?
The diamond companies recommend the equivalent of 2 months of salary. But, since I love a lot of different styles, I don't think price matters as much as whether it is a style that suits you, and that you would enjoy wearing. And overall, there are more important things than the engagement ring. I wouldn't worry about the sale price, it's probably a beautiful ring.Engagement Ring Question? Please give me some advice.?
there is NO ';AVERAGE'; AMOUNT...its what he can afford...and the girl should be thankful for whatever it is, and wherever he got it.


..and no, a ring on sale,doesnt mean its poor quality, ..
no no no....weasel
price on diamonds remains firm but styles come and go, quality on diamonds varys a lot always you pay more for higher quality because the demand is higher
the ring should be 3 months salary. It is the days following thanksgiving so everything is on sell (jewelery at Kohls was between 60 and 80% off). I know for a fact that a $10,000 necklas was marked down to 2000. They ring is a very good quality and you are lucky that he bought you a $3000 ring (even if he did get it on sale).
to be perfectly honest.. i wouldn't care if my boyfriend would give me a 20 cent ring as long as it was pretty and i loved him.. lol
The mark up for jewelry is 50-75% in most cases. If he bought a $729 ring, it is worth $729. Guys should spend 3 months salary on an engagement ring. If they die, you could sell it and spend 3 months searching for a new husband. He is a cheap scate. Get another guy.
You must really be worried about this ring since this is your second post about it. Please see my answer to your other post. I spent a lot of time on it because I thought you were sincere.





In that one, he hadn't bought it yet. You were just worried about the quality.





If it looks to good to be true it probably is to good to be true--but it seems like your guy spent what he could afford. Poor guy! Now he has to deal with you! I don't envy him. Would you have been satisfied if he spent $3000.00 for it and then you saw that it was marked down to $729.00? Sheesh!
don't worry about it. as long as the ring looks good and you like it. you're getting married and that should be the biggest gift of all
it depends.


where is it from.


put in some detail please.


thanks.


i will come back and look once you put more detail!


and try to help you!
If you want quality, don't get it from Kohl's. More than likely it is 10k gold and they don't put good quality diamond/gemstones on anything less than 14k gold. It might make a good ';practice'; engagement ring though.





It is an old adage that an engagement ring should be 3 months' salary.
dude go tell him to take it back and go to Jared
If your concern is that he didn't spend enough, you're not barking up a very nice tree. If, however, your concern is that there might be something wrong with the ring or that it might not last, why don't you take it to an appraiser? A professional can tell you all about the 4cs and determine the quality. Your question to him or her should not be ';Did my fiance spend enough on me?'; It should be ';Will this ring last a lifetime?';





Cheers
if he got it on like black friday. you never get your moneys worth. just like if you get something from the electronics section they might be $100 but the features stink and how long the last is a total bummer! In my opinion i think the ring will have poor quality
If U really want to know the $ value of the ring take it a jeweller %26amp; have it appraised. What is more important the $ or the fact that he got U a ring?
well it is probly still good quality but maybe it was just sitting there for so long cuz of its price and they needed to get rid of it so they marked it down but the only way to be sure is to take it to a jewlers and have it checked out!
$19.95 at walmart. Price of the ring does not matter.
If he gave you the ring because he loves you and all you're worried about is the cost, I think he should run like hell . . .
Its a Diamond.. $729 sounds like enough to me.
My engagement ring cost my fiance all of $10. He paid $15 for my wedding ring, and I paid $15 for his. We were extremely poor back then. We still wear our rings, though, and we LOVE THEM because they are 'meaningful' to us ... if you are worried about the 'quality of the stone' and wondering about how much he paid for it, I think you need to 'sit back and think' about whether it's the MAN you love, or the 'jewelry' he bought for you. Love the man, love the ring, and DO NOT QUESTION THE PRICE OR QUALITY ...
i think its perfectly fine n that he loves you a lot
Okay number one...the ring he bought went through 2 middle men before it got into his hands which meant markups twice.





The diamond rings original purchase price straight from the mine is probably a percentage of 729 and then was marked up to 3000.





So if you're looking at it that way, he actually paid the mine price and cut out the middle men.





Kohl's can sell the diamond for 729 on sale (which I'm guessing was an after Thanksgiving sale) because they probably only paid around 500 for it to start with and diamond sales are few and far between so they actually aren't losing any money.





This doesn't mean you have a poor quality diamond....all it really means is that the diamond you have was bought at a wholesale price.
im sure she will like it no matter how much it cosed but to be sure get it checked by a different jeweler to be sure and if its of pour quality then take it back.
I think if he bought you a ring thats means a lot of Love !


What counts is not how much he spends in you ,is how much he really cares about you .........
my husband spent $545 dollers or something in the 500-650 range but it turned out to be the most butiful thing





doesnt matter how much it costs...wat matters is that he loves u
Absolutely no average, the price doesn't mean anything. Would you like the ring more if it costs $50,000 ?

He should spend 3x his monthly salary. If you don't like the ring, be honest with him about it. If you just don't like that it was on sale, then that's really a little bit selfish.
well..i think he wanted to get the cheapist ring for you but if its beautiful and u love it then it really doesnt matter what the cost was..X]HOPE THIS HELPS
BE grateful... Some people cant even afford that price for a ring 729 is alot of money as well come on... ?HEy my partner wouldn't be able to afford that be grateful that you have someone who loves and adores you and wants to marry you .... the ring is just an added bonus
your not getting a poor quality ring it just means that they wanted to sell that stock so they could put new ones out....id say its a pretty good deal... :]
