NBR: How much was your wedding ring? (now clicky)

One of my friends just got engaged the other night.  She got a $10,000 Tiffany bubble ring.  It's gorgeous, but man... I honestly would be afraid to walk around with $10,000 just hanging out on my finger.  How much did your wedding ring cost?  Just wondering if others think that's a little much or if I'm being conservative here :)

ETA: I guess technically it's an engagement ring.  I tend to use the two terms interchangeably

  • Mine was a lot more than that but just for the record, Tiffany's has a 40% markup. I love them, don't get me wrong, but I'm never truly impressed. You get it for the name. 
  • I agree.  Clicky it up.

  • 6k.

    It's a 1 carat solitaire that I designed myself.  Worth every penny!!

  • No engagement ring here.  Wedding ring was 49.99 off of Amazon and I LOVE IT.  It's a plain flat, unembellished, unbeveled tungsten steel band.  It matches DH's ring, only not as wide.

    It also makes a great puck for table top hockey while waiting for food to arrive when eating out.

  • I agree....clicky...im not comfy posting the amt
  • This is why I have insurance for my ring.  DH paid MUCH more than I would have if I'd had a say, but I got a gorgeous ring.  It's covered for anything that should happen to it for full replacement cost.
  • $1800 for the engagement ring-vintage 1920's aquamarine/white gold/tiny diamonds.

    and $65 for my wedding band-sterling silver from the New York Public Library online store.

    Both exactly what I wanted.

  • My whole set (engagement ring and wedding band) was 7k.  I love it, IMO worth every penny! :)

  • my wedding band was about $150. I just wanted a plain solid white gold ring. I think my engagement ring was about $6k if that's what you are referring to... a little over 1 carat radiant solitare set in white gold. I know people who have engagement rings well over $10,000 and bands that match, so they could be up there. To each his own. I just wanted something that I would be happy to wear everyday... it didn't need to be flashy,

  • I agree clicky pole!

    But I will say that since DH designed mine and hunted out every diamond himself he saved a good amount of money.  He paid about half of what he would have bought it for in almost any store by doing it this way.

  • clicky!

    FI didn't want to tell me how much my engagement ring was. But he did tell me it's "about as much as that rule", so i've assumed he means that "rule" where the e-ring is supposed to be worth his 3 months pay. Approx $3600, I think? Our matching wedding band set was $1200. All three rings are insured, of course. Smile

  • I have no idea

  • I clicked "over $10,000" though technically DH didn't pay that much (and this is Canadian dollars, FWIW). We have a jewellery wholesaler in the family, so we got the ring much cheaper. But it's appraised at over $11,000. My wedding band was appraised at $3500, but we got it for $1000.

  • I hate to say it but mine cost 25,000 and the wedding band was 2000.  I wear it every day.  It is just over 2 k.  I love it.  I can understand how not everyone would want something like that thought. I didn't pick it out nor did we ever go look so I wasn't expecting that.
