Indeed, money can’t buy love, but a ring can surely bring excitement to the face of your beloved. Although it is a personal choice to decide on a realistic budget for your engagement ring, it is still a good idea to know how much you should really be spending on it.

If you are planning to buy an engagement ring, how much you should spend on it can be calculated on the basis of several factors. This article will offer some insights about these factors and where you can find the perfect ring when the time comes around for you to pop the question. 

1. Know Your Budget 

The first important factor to consider when buying a ring is your budget. Buying a ring that fits your budget will not only bring joy, but will also be a practical way of managing your wedding expenses.

Singapore offers a lot of choices when it comes to engagement rings. Whether you have decided to go for a solitaire diamond ring or are more attracted to Tiffany diamonds, the choice you eventually make will highly depend on what your budget allows.

Moreover, with proper planning and research, you’re sure to find gorgeous rings at affordable prices. To facilitate your journey to finding the perfect ring, discuss with your partner (if possible) what kind of ring he/she dreams of and other preferences. That way, both of you can decide on a practical budget. 

2. Decide on The Important “C”

Regardless of whether you have your eyes set on a classic diamond ring or one with moissanite gemstones, you must have heard about the 4Cs of diamond quality. The 4Cs, namely, Clarity, Colour, Cut and Carat, are essential components to consider when shopping for an engagement ring because they can influence the price and appearance of the ring to a great extent.

You need to decide which ‘C’ you can compromise on, to lower the cost. For example, the emerald-type cut is the most affordable option, although it is relatively uncommon in Singapore. Similarly, you can decide if you are fine with a 1-carat moissanite ring or want to go higher, as that will eventually increase the price. Then there is clarity that can also have a major impact on the price of the ring, depending on if you can see the flaw in the gemstone with the naked eye or not. Moreover, the higher the colour grade of the diamond - that is to say that the diamond has nearly no colour - the more premium the price tag due to its rarity. 

3. Consider Post-Purchase Benefits

When shopping for an engagement ring in Singapore, you will come across several shops and brands that offer a plethora of options. Considering the post-purchase benefits, such as warranty, and return policy is important, as you get the best return on your investment. Every brand or store has different policies in regard to their rings, so keep an eye out for the one that offers some useful benefits with your purchase.
