Brides Guess The Cost Of Engagement Rings 

Where would they have gotten them? 🤔 I guess they could have had some jeweler's sponsor the video or something. They would've been cool.

Yes, this video was made in 2019. Previous similar videos were made better

A'chynee Edmundson it’s just a very lazy video. Buzzfeed has more than enough resources to bring in designers to speak about ring cost, explain labor and gem quality, ethics, and even direct people to places depending on budget. This video is pure laziness and obviously just more clickbait. A print out? For a very small item? Please.

Probably because they could have A) gotten them from a single jewler which would have made the prices fairly similar and their opinions could have offended them OR B) They could have used employees rings but they would have had to clean them and everything, keep track of them, then they could have also been offended by the opinions.

Anjali Singh and shown the rings on an actual hand

Um... if it's sterling silver (925 imprint) it's not a real diamond. A real diamond would never be set in silver - only white gold or platinum (or yellow or rose gold).

@@bonniewang2413 why

Victoria Umukoro silver is softer so it would fall out pretty easily. If they’re like small pave diamonds, maybe it’s ok, but highly doubtful for the larger/center stone diamond.

@@bonniewang2413 that's actually incorrect. Diamonds are set in silver all the time. There are people who can't wear gold.

Jaq Neebe totally agree... also using the term Bride when someone was married in 2017 is a stretch 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Amanda D. She’s a pole dancer 😩😩🤣🤣🤣🤣

She whispered so gently I was like "girl what?? 😂"

This. I agree. If I ever get married I'll be satisfied with a small cheap ring or no ring.

but price IS everything.

I hope so😂

How do I literally see you commenting on all the channels I watch too 😂❤

How are you ever gonna find a wife if you watch this many youtube videos....unless you guys meet in the comments.

itslisanne SAME. I was just about to comment and say the same thing !

@@darkfeather111 That's goals honestly

The sentimentality goes a long way too. The total eventual cost of what my engagement ring once complete might be a bit pricey in some circles but it's having special memories attached to it. Though, that said, getting it custom made by a close friend is a mere fraction of the retail markup cost... it would've been stupid money to buy similar from a retail outlet.

Having a start on a down payment for a house is nice too.

@@recoil53 I'd never pay that much for a ring. To me, pricey is a few thousand (well below 5K). Our wedding cost under $900 including the wedding bands, lunch, courthouse ceremony and official marriage certificate. No flowers, no cake, no reception, no fancy clothes, own makeup and hairstyling. I've been slowly working on the concept and design of this engagement ring for 4.5 years now. It'll probably take another 18 months or more before it's actually complete. I'm one for quality but not over inflated priced jewellery that anyone can own. I am looking at an heirloom piece. You know who's going to pay for the majority of it? ME! (Though hubby has had input along the way) I'm not an overly materialistic person. I do a LOT of thrift shopping. My most valuable find to date is an artisan sterling silver necklace with topaz, red jasper and rose de France amethyst. I paid $5 for it and it's insured for $5000! It was the most valuable item I wore on my wedding day. My dress was handmade as a wedding gift by a close friend, our wedding rings were handcrafted (also by a close friend jeweller of mine that's also crafting the engagement ring) out of sterling silver recycled from a broken fob chain that belonged to my great grandfather and my orthopedic wedge dress heels were the most expensive item that I'd had replaced under insurance as I'd lost my previous pair due to flooding in my area earlier this year ($99 marked down from $250); along with many other flood loses. Renting is more economically feasible for our family right now as when my father passes I am willed lifetime residency in his house nearby (along with my autistic brother who I'll be caring for). Sometimes it's just nice to have something of quality with a story to share instead of a fancy, expensive ring to show off because it's some kind of engrained societal status symbol. My younger sister spent in excess of $50K on her wedding which I think was ridiculous and completely wasteful. She was given my paternal grandmother's engagement ring. An antique diamond solitaire of over a carat weight in 18K gold to the value of around $10K. She loves to show it off. She thinks I'm jealous but I'm allergic to gold and dislike diamonds so it means absolutely nothing to me.

Not really. Obviously the price of the ring don't reflect how much the couple love each other, but you can't expect a really cheap ring to still look nice after 10-20-30+ years of daily wear. I mean, you get what you pay for.

@@irismadeleine so what? First of all: How told you that you need to wear it that long? You can be married without waring a ring. Secound: my mom how is married to my dad for over 30 years, wears a simple gold band he gave her when they were 18 and 19 years old. It was around 500 bucks at that time. And they have the most loving relationship I have ever seen in my life.

cindynickol God bless ! the cost of the ring means absolutely nothing !! love is what matters ! there’s a lot of wealthy people out there that end up pawning their rings ,their marriage lasts two months and then they had for a divorce . so God bless you both I pray you have a long ! happy life together . my husband and I have just celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary ,I pray you are as happy as we have been all these years.🌹

I’m so happy for you! I hope you have a wonderful marriage!

Awe congratulations I absolutely love you're message as long as your together nothing else matters☺

Thank you everyone for the kind words! We were planning to get married in July but I suddenly became really sick! Turns out we’re pregnant! So many blessings! The morning sickness (all day sickness for me 😅) has subsided so now we can finally get married. My wedding dress still fits thankfully haha. It’s go time!! 💕💍

@@Squidceviche its a double celebration then he's a lucky mam you're stunning

Betch lol right? hella rude

bruhh i was gunna comment the same thing😂😂😂 but yess

she didn’t lie tho.

Margi de la Fuente Costco has some pretty nice rings!

Costco has some incredible diamonds/rings which are competitively priced!

I saw them. They are not cheap 👀😱.

Margi de la Fuente are costco rings made with conflict free diamonds?

@@clarradactyl7791 Yep, conflict-free diamonds. From Costco: "Diamonds that we offer for sale are procured from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and comply with the United Nations resolutions set forth by the Kimberly Process procedure."

That's just marketing by jewelers. They were the ones who started the idea that you can't use a hand me down ring either - diamonds do last forever and they'd lose half their market if people used grandma's ring.

@@recoil53 it was coined by DeBeers to sell more diamonds and make more money off fools who fell for it. If that were the case, hubby would've shelled out over 15K for a ring! If he did that I would've made him take it back! That's stupid money!

Depends on you. I would love to have an expensive ring if its beautiful. After all I'm expected to wear it forever and it is a once in a lifetime thing so it's ok. But I'm broke so I don't have the money for it. Just saying if I did it would be amazing to buy

@@pinkheart315 Hubby and I are not affluent. We're paying my ring off in installments and won't receive it until it's paid in full. It's worth the wait though. I've waited 4.5 years so far (design block) so another 18 months - 2 years ain't gonna make a big difference.

@@madvoice That's amazing 👏 What kind of ring is it?

Men are unnecessary

Aerith AMV agree 😂✌

My ring is super expensive and for free $$$$$$ Cause it's in a dream and I'm single too so won't be wearing it any time soon nor have money in reality 🤣

It was definitely a blue topaz...

I searched for this comment

I was cringing when she said that!

@@vicshcherb1995 me too!

Yeah her comment made me mad for some reason 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

I agree! I have a 1.75 carat equivalent for only $1200

Me and my boyfriend are shopping for rings right now and I’m set on Moissanite! I love the fire and sparkle so much!

I literally just commented the same thing!

Find a reputable jeweller and the actual cost of a custom designed one of a kind ring can be far more affordable and meaningful than a mass produced commercial one.

madvoice I’m currently single, but I will keep that in mind for the future. Thank you kind stranger 😊

My fiancé had my ring customized and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

One day at a time!

I was told that if the setting wasn't raised it isn't a real diamond? Like it's supposed to be raised so you can see the underside of the stone?

Taylor Wallace That is actually not true. If it were, then you wouldn’t be able to have a diamond set in a bezel. Setting has nothing to do with the price of the stone. The thing that determines the price of the setting is the metal used to create it. Diamonds can be set in any form you like.

@@aassttrrr there are so many myths about rings!

I always thought it did increase pricing? At least in my personal experience shopping. That one also had detailing on the base

Diabeautiful _me lmao ya I’m like 60 k a year is rich lololol woot woot

@@lm1629 It is based on after tax so $5000 a month is closer to $100,000 a year

7 ш8

In South Africa people don't even make a thousand dollars a month... I make like 250 dollars a month

That's why my engagement ring is going to be a diamond free zone!

I just got engaged and my main stone is a sapphire! I love it!!!!

Nope, very rare only 20% are even able to make it into show cases. Gems are pretty but very soft. You cant scratch a diamond. And if your trying to go for a good quality makes it more expensive because its more rare

@@kelseamartinezofficial Last l checked, diamonds were gemstones. They may be difficult to scratch but they can quite easily chip and shatter if you knock them the wrong way. This even includes those with great cut, clarity and quality. Certain coloured diamonds are rarer than others, this is true. However, high quality jewellery grade gemstones aren't as rare as most people would like to think. There's nothing wrong with wanting a nice heavy carat, high quality diamond engagement ring if your means allow for it. You go for it! I just don't see the attraction. Yes, the gemstones of my choosing aren't as high on the MOHs scale as a diamond however, the choice of setting style plus the metal they're set in will make a big difference to longevity in the long term. I'm allergic to gold and while l can wear silver (and have a silver wedding band), I'd rather invest in a more durable metal like platinum for my engagement ring with the gemstones that l like than a diamond that does nothing for me.

I get what your saying, the metal does help but gem stones of sapphires etc. Still wear. Though visible to the eye seem fine. You have to be careful as to how you even clean them. The edges on a gem wear much faster. I see this on a daily basis most people don't realize due to not seeing it under a light and microscope. A lot of people have to replace there gems as the years go. They will have an internally cracked gem and won't even realize. Were I've seen someone with there great great grandmothers diamond in perfect condition. And as for cracking etc. Yes very true they can but its not easy and also depends on the shape. U have to hit it at a vulnerable place on the diamond. That and if the diamond is not in proportion. Of course hit anything hard enough. It will chip. I completely understand what your saying though

Same 🤷🏽‍♀️

I was cringing that they had no idea what an opal or blue topaz was. GAH!

@@madvoice me too... or when she said that she didn't think it was a real turquoise or sapphire! Both of those stones look NOTHING like the stone pictured.

They ain t even the ones buying the rings they have on.

As someone who has an interest in jewellery with researching hallmarks, maker's marks, precious and semi-precious gemstones etc, seeing how uneducated these women were totally flabbergasted me!

I have an interest in antique jewellery and I have seen much more beautiful, unique and magical antique rings for a fraction of those prices.

Kristin Hazell Same! I custom made my engagement ring with an Edwardian style and am in love :)

I guess because you have it abundantly. Idk. At the end of the day diamonds are just clumps of carbon. And gold is just some shiny rock way down in the earths crust.

Sadri Mohamud I was wondering the same thing I literally thought it was just your wedding day and maybe the honeymoon

Aerith AMV True

Red Curtis so do peolpe

@@magicmag25 Preach

Or do both 🤷‍♀️
