What is a realistic price for an engagement ring?
There is no single realistic price or price range for an engagement ring because there are no rules for engagement jewelry. Any ring you find appealing can serve as an engagement ring, giving you the freedom to choose a piece that fits your budget. In 2023, the national average cost for a diamond engagement ring in the U.S. was $5,500, but engagement rings can feature alternative gemstones or even no gemstones at all. Find a wide range of engagement rings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
