What did your engagement ring cost, married/engaged people?
(thelemmy.club)
My wife's engagement ring was a simple opal design that cost like 40 or 50 bucks on Amazon.
~$200 for the actual wedding rings, ordered off Etsy.
Engagement was €1500 as I recall; way too much, but it is pretty. We both worked with our hands at the time of marriage so $40 was our wedding ring budget and got tungsten carbide, which has its own (safety) issues. Currently wearing an overpriced but pretty silicone ring.

About $2000
It was around $500 in the mid-90's. The stone was a high quality sapphire, which made up nearly all of the price.
I don't think I have ever bought a diamond.
3D printed, so a few cents. And an $8 fancy one.
We are fortunate enough to be able to afford more, and since my wife is a physicist we will eventually design our own setting for a manufactured stone because we like to do these types of things. But realistically it isn't that important to us as it's been a number of years now.
I'm curious though, why do you ask?
