How much should you spend on an engagement ring?
The old "three months' salary" rule is just a marketing ploy and is now a thing of the past. Today, the ideal amount to spend is what feels financially reasonable given your personal situation. At Bijouterie Panthère, we prioritize value over price. Our experts help you find the right balance between the "4 Cs" (cut, color, clarity, and carat) so that you get a handcrafted, beautiful, and prestigious engagement ring that perfectly fits your budget without compromising on aesthetics.
How many carats are in an engagement ring?
When we talk about "carats," we are generally referring to two different things: the weight of the diamond or the purity of the gold.
- Gold: 14-karat or 18-karat gold is the standard for engagement rings. 14-karat gold is the most popular and affordable option, while 18-karat gold offers a more intense hue.
- Diamond: Although the one-carat threshold is a common reference, the ideal size remains a matter of taste. Opting for a slightly lower carat weight (such as 0.90) often leads to substantial savings, without the difference being perceptible to the naked eye.
Where to buy an engagement ring?
While the convenience of the internet is tempting, we strongly recommend that you never buy an engagement ring online without seeing it in person. Beyond the lifelong commitment it represents, it is an emotional and valuable purchase that requires physical contact. You should go to a reputable local jeweler, such as Bijouterie Panthère, who offers transparency as well as all the advantages and benefits you are looking for in a ring supplier and jeweler. Moreover, buying locally in Montreal guarantees you a dedicated partner who will take care of the ring for decades.
Do men wear engagement rings?
Absolutely! Men's engagement rings are a growing trend worldwide. Whether it's a simple wedding band or a custom diamond-set design, more and more men are choosing to wear a symbol of their commitment during the engagement period. We specialize in creating sophisticated custom rings for men that harmonize with their personal style, whatever their preferences.
How to wear your engagement ring and wedding band?
Traditionally, the wedding band is put on first, followed by the engagement ring. Think of it this way: the engagement ring is closer to your heart, as it symbolizes your eternal love. However, many couples now opt for custom contoured wedding bands, specially designed to fit perfectly with the engagement ring, thus creating a harmonious and sparkling set.
