The Priceless Value of Engagement Rings
When it comes to the question of 'how much should the engagement ring cost?', many would argue that you cannot put a price on love. Yet, impressive rings are often anticipated, with women usually expecting the ring to symbolize their love story in a cost of 2000 euros or more. Here's where we at Valquère step in with our high-quality, lab-grown diamonds, beautifully handcrafted in Antwerp.
Interestingly, men often express a willingness to spend more on a ring than their future bride may expect. But it doesn't stop there; about one-third prefer to share the shopping experience, to mutually discover each other's style. Personal service, after all, befits a truly personal occasion.

Length of Engagement
After the unforgettable proposal, it’s time to start planning your wedding. Women usually lean towards an engagement period between 12 and 18 months, while men's opinions differ widely. Some aspire to marry within six months post-proposal, while others prefer a longer engagement period of around two years.
The essence of engagement is far more nuanced and individual than one might think. Men and women may have differing viewpoints, but the shared dream is a ring that symbolizes their unique love. So why not make a statement with Valquère's expert advice
