Casual Conversation

3D printed, so a few cents. And an $8 fancy one.

We are fortunate enough to be able to afford more, and since my wife is a physicist we will eventually design our own setting for a manufactured stone because we like to do these types of things. But realistically it isn't that important to us as it's been a number of years now.

I'm curious though, why do you ask?

$700 for moissanite ring and wedding band:

$2,158.57. It's a 1.06 carat ice blue sapphire

About 9k. Its my wedding ring and engagement ring. I only have one ring. My husband and I chose it out together, lab grown, custom and the ring I anticipate to wear for my whole life. We are fortunate enough to afford it.

$6,500 NZD, for a custom made ring, with blue lab grown diamond and two small pear shaped lab grown clear diamonds. About 1.5 months salary.

Zero. We didn't get engagement rings, not later wedding bands. The first few years of our marriage we used to get asked about the wedding bands a lot, but people eventually got used to us not having any. I think it's probably been about 15 years since we last got asked about them.

About 60€ for the wedding bands. Bought them on Etsy, made of epoxied wood with some blue in it, handmade in Poland. I insisted in not buying expensive since my husband is prone to misplace things. I was right. Not even a year in, he lost his. I now keep mine in a box. We talked about replacing his, but it is not really important for us. And we kept removing them for bouldering, cooking and other activities. Our bond does not rely on a ring.

$5000 CAD I think. My band is$300. But I'm wearing $10 bigger ring from Amazon. Fingers get chubby so the expensive rings are in a box for years now

I had no idea what to spend, but everyone told me three months salary. So that's what I paid. Was it too much, too little? I don't know, but I was dumbly in love. Still am, and I don't think about how much I spent now.

I designed my wife's wedding ring. I drew it up the evening we decided to get married. I still have the drawing. I then found a small independent custom shop and had it made. The diamond is actually small but looks massive because of the design.

Cost me $1,200 for it. Most of it was in the hours of labor to make it back in '00.

$1000 for my 1ct rose gold white sapphire ring, about $200 for hubby's ring from Etsy. Funny thing is just about every year after that, we've bought cool Etsy rings and enjoy them more than our initial ones. Etsy rings for the win 😊

I spent too much on real diamond before I knew any better. So I was complicit in blood money, and now it's worth 2 percent of what I spent.

Like 30 USD for the ring, 300 for the wedding fee. We went out for a nice lunch so another 200 for 8 guests.

A few bottles of cheap champagne too.

Engagement was €1500 as I recall; way too much, but it is pretty. We both worked with our hands at the time of marriage so $40 was our wedding ring budget and got tungsten carbide, which has its own (safety) issues. Currently wearing an overpriced but pretty silicone ring.

It was around $500 in the mid-90's. The stone was a high quality sapphire, which made up nearly all of the price.

I don't think I have ever bought a diamond.

My wife's engagement ring was a simple opal design that cost like 40 or 50 bucks on Amazon.

~$200 for the actual wedding rings, ordered off Etsy.
