At the first moment when you finally make that big decision to take the leap and ask your partner to marry you finances are probably not the first or even second or third thought in your head. It is probably not part of your life consideration plan nor are we saying it should be, at that moment. However knowing how much to spend on an engagement ring to ask your partner to marry you is very important.
Particularly because this is a beautiful and delicate moment in both of your lifetimes. It is important to consider a whole lot of questions before getting right down to purchasing the ring of your or their dreams.

Because the most important step before purchasing is doing your research and discovering a ring, and jeweller, that you are happy with and can trust.
You may need to or choose to finance the engagement ring of your dreams. That may turn out to be the very best choice for you. Or you may even come to the conclusion that what is best for you and your future life partner is to build a ring of your own.

Which we know that particularly for the one we love we all want to do. However, even in that scenario it is still important to take quite a few considerations into account before moving forward.

Like your love and relationship and your journey to finally meet and come together the very financial question of how much to spend on an engagement ring is actually a series of other questions!
