How Much Should a Wedding Ring Cost?

You’re getting married! A wedding is a beautiful moment, but they are also known for being stressful and expensive. Budgeting is a skill every nearlywed needs, and as much as hiring that fabulous drag queen to MC your ceremony sounds like a great idea, the money might not add up when you look back. 

Rings are an investment, so it’s important to make the right choice! We want you to be delighted with your decision years down the line, so Jessica Flinn is here to cover the who, how, and what of wedding bands. By the time we’re done, you’ll know exactly how much to spend on a wedding ring, and more!

More important than the average cost of a wedding ring, is finding out what your budget is! Once you know what you can afford, you can find the stunning ring that is right for you.

But even setting a budget can be difficult if you don't know where to start! Google will be your best friend here, researching your dream ring will give you a good idea of wedding ring costs and what you’ll need to save! 

The average wedding ring cost depends on what it’s made of. Wide bands will cost more, as they use more metal, and gemstone rings cost the most because of their gems!

Knowing what you want makes it easier to estimate what you’ll pay. For one gemstone wedding band the average cost is around £1200, or you could have a matching wedding band set for around £1800!

So how much should you spend on a wedding ring? The most common budget for some wedding sparkle is between £1000 - £2000!

There is no standard guideline for how much you should spend on a wedding ring, unlike engagement rings where it’s expected to cost three months wages! As long as you love the ring, it’s the right wedding ring price for you (we don't care as long as it's pretty).
