Average Expenditure on Diamond Engagement Rings in the UK
As per a survey by Protect Your Bubble, an average Briton's budget for diamond engagement rings has seen a downward trend over the past decade. From £1333, it has dwindled to £1080. Interestingly, geographical location plays a part too; Londoners, for instance, may spend up to £1500 on their engagement ring.
Deciphering the Shift in Engagement Ring Budgets
The traditional norm of investing three months’ salary on an engagement ring is slowly fading. The prevailing economic conditions and a modernised outlook on marriage have influenced this shift. Today, an engagement ring, especially a diamond one from Valquère, symbolises love and commitment rather than wealth.
