Average price for a ring
Engagement and wedding rings are special occasions in life. Because they are expensive, you may be concerned about the price.
Following on from the previous article [When should you buy a ring?] , today we will talk about your budget for a ring.
Many people probably have the phrase "An engagement ring costs three months' salary, and a wedding ring costs one month's salary" in the back of their minds. In fact, this was a PR strategy launched by an American company 50 years ago, and it was based on the salary levels of the time, so it's different today.
Engagement Rings
Nowadays, engagement rings are available in a wide range of prices, from 100,000 yen to tens of millions of yen, but it seems that most men aim to spend about 1.5 times their salary.
Many people place more importance on quality, how well it blends with the skin, and aftercare rather than on luxurious appearances, so the actual price range is in the 200,000 yen range.
Wedding Rings
Many couples spend between 200,000 and 300,000 yen on wedding rings for both of them. Women's rings can be more elaborately decorated or have diamonds, so they can cost a little more than men's rings, so the general guideline is around 100,000 to 200,000 yen for women and 100,000 to 150,000 yen for men.
Also, although semi-custom or full custom orders will cost more, you can get something that you really like.
Compared to the past, people now seem to be more inclined to choose things based on design, quality, and what they like, rather than focusing on price.
Although it will vary depending on your age and annual income, it's probably best not to worry too much about what others think and just choose something that suits you and that you are truly satisfied with.
By the way, the average time to prepare wedding rings is 6.4 months before the wedding, so it is a good idea to decide on your wedding ring before the busy period of wedding preparations (3 to 4 months before the ceremony).
Rings often cannot be taken home immediately from the store as they will need to be resized or engraved, so please allow yourself plenty of time to choose.
