A survey from theKnot.com reveals that the average American couple spend $5,200 on an engagement ring. Doing a “Recently Purchased” search on Blue Nile does show a large concentration of rings around that price point, but these rings are anything but Average!
If every diamond is unique, then every engagement ring is a piece of art. Reflecting the bride’s taste, aesthetic, and even her values (size vs. quality?).
Take a look at some of my favorite recently purchased rings around this national average, and let me know which one is your favorite.
