There's a whole jungle of misconceptions out there, and we're here to guide you. We've even whipped up a video guide over on our YouTube channel.

the "two months' salary" rule

Let's tackle a classic myth together - the whole "two months' salary" deal for engagement rings. Spoiler alert: it's just a myth, and you don't need to break the bank!


The truth is, there's no magical number for what you should be spending. It's your love story, your budget, your rules! The real magic of an engagement ring isn't in the price tag; it's in the commitment it represents. Forget about keeping up with anyone's expectations - focus on finding a ring that fits your style and wallet while radiating all the love and connection you share. After all, it's the love that shines, not the digits on the price tag! 

Diamonds aren't the only way to go

What comes to mind when you picture your dream engagement ring? Most likely, it's a dazzling diamond stealing the spotlight. But don't exclude alternative gemstones!


There's gemstones like sapphires, tourmalines, and salt & pepper diamonds! These colourful beauties are here to shake things up. Not only are they unique and eye-catching, but they also won't break the bank as much as diamonds.


Your engagement ring is your canvas for self-expression, so why not go bold with a gemstone that speaks to your soul? At Jessica Flinn, we've got gemstones to match your vibe and make your ring truly one-of-a-kind. So, embrace your inner gem explorer, and let's find the perfect sparkler together!

The Proposal doesn't have to be One sided

Forget that age-old tale that proposals are solely a man's duty. It's a new era, baby! Love has no labels, no gender constraints, and no boundaries. Proposing should be open to everyone, no matter who you are or who you love! Love's a powerful force that brings hearts together, and it's high time we celebrate it in all its glory.

Lets recap!

Don't let these myths hinder your search for the perfect engagement or wedding ring. Remember, the true value of an engagement ring lies in the love and meaning it carries, not in meeting societal expectations or traditions.
