It’s a question with one common answer: three months’ salary. This rule of thumb has been around for a while, but let’s face it—times are changing, and no one should be clinging to this outdated rule anymore. Let's sparkle up this conversation and explore why the three-month rule for your engagement ring budget is ready to take its final bow.
The Origin of the Three-Month Rule
Surprisingly, this "tradition" isn't as historic as you might think. It was actually the brainchild of a clever marketing campaign in the late 1930s by a well-known diamond company. Their mission? To boost diamond sales post-Great Depression. Fast forward to today, and this advice has done its job a little too well—it has embedded itself into our collective consciousness as the gold (or should we say diamond?) standard.
Embracing Modern Sensibilities
Our world has evolved dramatically over the past century. Personalization is key now, with people tailoring their lives and choices to fit their unique tastes and situations. The same should apply to your engagement ring budget. Sticking rigidly to the three-month traditional rule doesn't leave much room for individuality or financial sensibility. After all, love isn't one-size-fits-all, so why should your engagement ring be?
At The Diamond Channel, our goal is to make ring shopping a more enjoyable and personal experience. This includes building your own engagement ring using our interactive and easy-to-use website. With your budget in mind, you can create the piece you love at a price you can afford, a service that has been a resounding hit with couples worldwide!

The Average Engagement Ring Cost
When it comes to the average engagement ring cost, the number can vary widely. According to The Knot, the national average cost in the United States is around $5,500. However, how much couples actually spend on an engagement ring can differ significantly. The study found that nearly half of all respondents are spending between $1,000 to $4,000 on their engagement ring, so the average cost truly varies.
This data highlights that while some may opt for more expensive rings, many people find more affordable options that suit their budget and preferences. It’s a personal decision that ultimately depends on the individual couple's financial situation and their values when it comes to marking this special commitment. The ability to customize their ring makes it easier to control how much they spend.
