How Much Should You Spend on an Engagement Ring? A Dallas Diamond Broker's Honest Take

Let’s be honest—buying an engagement ring can be overwhelming.Between outdated "three-month salary" rules and social media pressure, many people are left asking the same question: How much should I actually spend on a ring?

At RS Diamond Broker, we’ve helped thousands of couples over the past 30 years. And our answer? Spend what makes sense for you—not what the jewelry industry tells you.

💸 The Truth Behind the “Three-Month Rule”

This old guideline was created by diamond marketing campaigns, not financial experts. And while it might work for some, it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all answer.

What matters most is finding a ring that fits:

• Your budget

• Her style

• Your shared future goals

Whether that means $2,000 or $20,000, we’re here to make sure you get the best value—without the pressure.

💎 How to Get the Most Value for Your Budget

Instead of spending more, we help you spend smart. Here’s how RS Diamond Broker makes that happen:

• Private, pressure-free appointments

• Wholesale pricing without the retail markup

• Expert guidance on where to invest (and where to save)

• Custom options that give you more sparkle for less

You’d be amazed at what a $5,000 budget can get you when you’re working directly with a broker—not a chain store.

🧠 Our Honest Take (After 30 Years in the Business)

We’ve seen every kind of buyer—from first-timers to experienced collectors. And here’s the truth:

There’s no “right number”—only the right ring for the right person.
