How Much Should You Spend on a Diamond Ring?[Expert Tips Inside]

 

Why This Question Matters More Than You Think

Buying a diamond ring isn’t just a shopping decision — it’s emotional, symbolic, and often overwhelming.

Whether it's for a proposal, anniversary, or milestone gift, the pressure to “get it right” is real. The problem? Everyone says something different about what’s the “right” amount to spend.

Let’s cut through the noise — and make this decision simpler, smarter, and more sparkle-filled.


The Average Cost of a Diamond Ring in Dubai

Here’s what most people won’t tell you: Dubai offers some of the best value for diamonds globally, thanks to its tax-free gold market and wide selection.

But the range is huge.

Type of Ring

Average Price (AED)

Basic Gold Ring (No Diamond)

1,000 – 3,000

Lab-Grown Diamond Ring

1,699 – 15,000

Natural Diamond Ring

5,000 – 50,000+

Designer / Custom-Made Rings

20,000 – 100,000+

Most couples today spend between AED 7,000 and AED 15,000 on a quality diamond ring.


3 Key Factors That Affect the Price

1. Diamond Type: Lab-Grown vs Natural

  •  Natural Diamonds: Rare, mined, expensive

  •  Lab-Grown Diamonds: Same carbon structure, IGI certified, 30–50% more affordable

  • At Evermore, our rings feature Type IIa lab-grown diamonds — the purest type, with zero compromise on brilliance.

2. The 4 Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat

Each “C” impacts price:

  • Better cut = More sparkle

  • Higher carat = Higher price

  • Color and clarity = Influences overall look

Most shoppers overpay chasing top grades — our tip? Choose a beautiful cut and eye-clean clarity over technical perfection.

3. Brand, Design & Customization

  • Mass-produced rings are cheaper

  • Custom rings = Premium feel but higher price

  • At Evermore, you can customize your ring design without paying 3x the price — thanks to our direct-to-customer model.

So, How Much Should You Spend?

There’s no “magic number.” But here’s how to think about it:

Your Situation

Smart Spend Range (AED)

First Job / Budget-Conscious

1,699 – 3,000

Mid-level Income, Gift Buyer

3,000 – 7,000

Engagement Ring Budget

7,000 – 15,000

High-End Custom Piece

20,000+

Forget the outdated “2-month salary rule.” Spend what feels right for you, not society. A well-designed, certified lab-grown diamond ring can look 2–3x its actual cost.


Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Changing the Game

Still wondering if lab-grown is “real”? It’s not just real — it’s the future of fine jewelry.

  • Same sparkle and structure as natural diamonds

  • IGI-certified and Type IIa grade

  • Up to 50% more affordable
