ENGAGEMENT RING PRICE
GUIDE TO ENGAGEMENT RING PRICE
The price of an engagement ring reflects a harmonious blend of artistry, high-end craftsmanship, and premium materials. Designed to last a lifetime, these treasured symbols are created using only the finest metals and gemstones, ensuring their beauty endures for generations. Factors such as the quality of the diamond or gemstone, the intricacy of the design, and the precision of the setting contribute to the overall value, which can range from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Engagement rings like the exquisite ones available at Aucoin Hart Jewelers are meaningful investments, celebrating love and commitment with elegance, luxury, and timeless appeal. Our team of experts has put together a comprehensive guide to help you better understand all that goes into the price of your treasured engagement ring.
CHOOSING PRECIOUS METAL AND DIAMONDS FOR AN ENGAGEMENT RING
Precious metals and diamonds are key factors influencing the overall cost of an engagement ring. Whether yellow, white, or rose, the many hues of gold offer a versatile range of prices. Primarily available in 14k and 18k, gold is typically more affordable than platinum, a metal prized for its rarity, durability, and natural white luster. Diamonds also significantly impact a ring’s price, with certain shapes like round brilliant cuts often commanding higher costs due to their popularity and intricate cutting process. Beyond shape, a diamond’s quality— evaluated by the 4 Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight)— plays a crucial role in determining its value. Superior brilliance, minimal inclusions, and larger sizes elevate both a diamond’s beauty and value, contributing to the cost of your engagement ring.
BEAUTIFUL SETTINGS AND DESIGNER RINGS
An engagement ring’s style as well as designer will also significantly influence its price. Known for its minimalist elegance, a solitaire setting is typically more affordable, while a halo setting encircling the center stone with smaller diamonds adds brilliance, as well as cost. Side stone and three stone designs enhance the ring’s allure with additional gems, often increasing its value. Designers like Simon G., Sylvie, and our own in-house line, Aucoin Hart Jewelers, are renowned for their impeccable artistry and use of premium materials. Their creations showcase extraordinary craftsmanship and ageless beauty, resulting in rings of unmatched quality that often command a higher price.
