\"Average<\/div>\n

“How much?”<\/h2>\n

\nGuys are always asking me “How much should I spend for an engagement ring?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It’s a good question.<\/h2>\n

\nThey don’t want to come across as “cheap<\/strong>“, but they also don’t want to spend and arm and a leg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How much a person spends really depends upon their situation and how much money they make. The industry says “Spend 2 months salary.<\/strong>” I say don’t go overboard. But you also do want to buy something nice.<\/p>\n

The best<\/strong> advice is knowing what the average price is for a diamond ring. <\/p>\n

\nThen, you can take it from there…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The average price is $3,000.<\/h2>\n

$3,000 give or take.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nGranted, most customers take the time to learn about the difference between good quality stones<\/strong> and bad quality stones<\/strong>, which generally impacts price. Once you see the difference, you usually spend a little bit more.<\/p>\n

So what will $3,000 get you?<\/h2>\n

Heading over to James Allen<\/a> (where you get the best diamond prices in the industry), you’ll find great deals on great looking diamonds. Keep in mind, the diamond market fluctuates often, so prices so shift around, that’s just the way that it is.<\/p>\n

For now… Take a look at these beautiful diamond… <\/strong> (P.S. Use “RINGSUM<\/strong>” at checkout and save an additional 10% off<\/strong> the ring mounting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As you can see from these prices listed , they are all GIA certified<\/a> (the best there is), and they are all excellent cuts, excellent polish, and excellent symmetry (also, the best there is).
\n

The average carat weight is right around 3\/4 carat<\/strong> (75 points). The average color<\/a> is G-H<\/strong> or higher. And the average clarity<\/a> is SI1<\/strong> or higher.<\/p>\n

These are the diamond qualities that I wholeheartedly recommend.<\/p>\n

My favorite diamond:<\/h2>\n

My favorite diamond<\/strong> quality is this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SHAPE – CW, CLARITY, COLOR, CUT<\/strong><\/td>\nPRICE<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Diamond!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You couldn’t ask for a better combo.<\/h2>\n

.80 carat puts you into a very nice carat weight<\/a>. Anything over 3\/4 carat is going to look large (depending on cut, which in this case is excellent<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The clarity is VS2<\/strong>, which is my favorite clarity<\/strong>. It’s very clean and very impressive. Under a microscope<\/a> you will only see a couple of small imperfections. Stunning quality:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The color is E color<\/strong> (colorless<\/strong>). That’s the best<\/strong> color range there is on the market. Pure White, extremely bright and white. I love E colored diamonds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And, like I said before, this diamond is also cut<\/strong> to ideal proportions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can’t beat it!<\/h2>\n

For $3,000 (or close to it<\/strong>), it’s worth every penny. This is a diamond you would never regret buying.<\/p>\n

Plus, she will absolutely love it. It’s got both quality and size.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mounting:<\/h2>\n

Have the diamond set into a classic solitaire mounting<\/a>, pave mounting<\/a>, or a halo mounting<\/a>. White gold is the perfect metal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s it. Your job is done.<\/h2>\n

\nChoosing an engagement ring couldn’t be easier. Knowing where to begin makes everything simple.<\/p>\n

\nJames Allen<\/a> has some of the biggest and best diamond selections on the net.<\/p>\n

\nI highly recommend them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n$3,000 really isn’t that much to spend for something that will last her a lifetime and look brand new forever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And, if you really want to splurge…<\/h2>\n

Buy her a one carat diamond instead<\/a> (average price; $5,300<\/strong>). <\/p>\n

\nThat will knock her socks off. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

Just don’t compromise on quality.<\/h2>\n

Enjoy the diamond, enjoy the shopping, it’s a pretty painless process.<\/p>\n

\nAfter all, love is priceless.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
