DO-Have a firm budget and stick to it

Engagement Ring 3

Pick a number and stick to it. There are no real rules that dictate how much someone has to spend on an engagement ring anymore, so find a price that you are comfortable with and draw the line. You will have to take into consideration the price of the diamond plus the price of the ring. Depending on how elaborate you want the ring to be, set aside a couple thousand dollars for it.
