      Things to Consider

      Below, we will highlight some things to consider when it comes to figuring out hwo much you want to spend on your wedding and engagement rings. Remember, this is just a rule of thumb and your specific situation will obviously vary.

      Financial Situation

      Depending on your financial situation you may want to look alternative bands when finding how much to spend on wedding ring

      Before even thinking about what kind of ring you and your partner have settled on, make sure you’re both aware of your financial situations to help narrow down your options to a specific budget!

      Overall Wedding Budget

      Your overall wedding budget will need to include the price of your rings when considering how much to spend on wedding ring

      Will you be having a big wedding with hundreds of guests, or one only exclusive to close friends and family? Perhaps you’d like a small wedding with a more expensive ring, or a big wedding with a fairly simple band. Knowing what your overall wedding budget and what you value will give you the opportunity to gauge just how much of that money can be allotted for your rings.

      Expectations

      When looking t how much to spend on wedding ring you'll need to think about your expectations of the wedding band to purchase

      With the kind of budget you have, what are your expectations? The popular option of a diamond ring with a white gold or yellow gold wedding band may be a bit over budget for most, but what are your alternatives? Many precious metals have proven themselves more than worthy of your consideration, especially ones that are a little more merciful on the wallet, but if intricately designed matching wedding rings are precisely the rings you’ve dreamed of, then by all means set your expectations there!

      Customization

      Customizing options are important when considering how much to spend on wedding ring

      Customization doesn't always mean expensive, and its no surprise to want your wedding rings to symbolize a love that is truly and uniquely yours, so you might want to consider either a ring that you can entirely customize or engravings that could strengthen and constantly remind you and your partner of the love you share. Choosing a wedding ring metal or a wedding band design that fits your stylistic or personality choices may also be a factor to consider when thinking of an affordable option for an entirely customized wedding ring. Prices may vary depending on the metal, gemstone, color, or style you choose, and it would do absolutely no harm whatsoever to go through the prices of various materials to help you get a rough estimate of how much you would be spending!
