To ring or not to ring? The new engagement trends of the UK
After finishing wedding season, which typically covers the whole summer, we are heading towards Christmas- the most popular time of the year to get engaged. With this in mind, new research, conducted by jewellery retailer Diamond Heaven, reveals today how the modern UK are actually sticking to engagement traditions.
Considering that it is a long standing tradition for a man to spend one month's wage on an engagement ring, which is around £1,990 a month*, the average cost we expect to be spent on an engagement ring is £1,650.
Interestingly women stated on average £445 more than men did when asked what was spent or will be spent on the engagement ring.
