There are many ‘rules’ spoken about when it comes to engagement rings, and one of the most famous is that the man must buy his bride to be a ring that costs “one month’s salary”.
It is part of tradition, but now the amount spent should be more along the lines of three weeks rather than one month, while many people spend well under the desired amount. Some women will not threat over having an expensive ring, and it is the thought that counts, and there are more types than ever before.
You don’t necessarily have to opt for gold nowadays, silver can be great too and men shouldn’t feel pressured into buying large diamonds often seen in blockbuster films. Today the engagement ring can be bought at a fair price, and if you do want to stick to the ‘rules’, make sure you’re buying a ring that is actually worth that amount.
