A Guide for Modern Couples"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>One of the most common questions couples ask when planning a proposal is:<br>\u201cHow much should an engagement ring cost?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer? It depends.<br>At Ellisons Jewellers in Belfast, we\u2019ve worked with couples from across Northern Ireland and Ireland \u2014 some shopping on a modest budget, others investing in heirloom-quality rings. No matter your price range, the perfect ring is the one that reflects your love and suits your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll explore what really affects the cost of an engagement ring, why the \u201cthree-month salary rule\u201d is outdated, and how to find a beautiful ring \u2014 whether you\u2019re spending \u00a31,000 or \u00a310,000+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Old Rule: Three Months\u2019 Salary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard the old tradition that says you should spend three months\u2019 salary on an engagement ring. But in 2025, that advice feels a little outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, we recommend setting a budget that makes sense for your circumstances, values, and future plans. After all, the best engagement ring isn\u2019t about price \u2014 it\u2019s about meaning, craftsmanship, and making your partner feel special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you explore your options, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellisonsjewellers.co.uk\/diamond-rings\">diamond rings collection<\/a> includes stunning designs at a range of price points \u2014 from affordable halo rings to luxurious, one-of-a-kind pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Affects the Cost of an Engagement Ring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several factors determine the price of an engagement ring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Diamond or gemstone size and quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type of metal (platinum, white gold, yellow gold, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complexity of the design (solitaire vs. halo or cluster)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand reputation and craftsmanship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At Ellisons Jewellers, we only stock high-quality diamonds and coloured stones, carefully set in fine metals.
