đź’Ť How much should I spend on an engagement ring? - The ultimate STELLINI guide

đź’Ž The myth of the monthly salary - and why you can forget it

Many people know the rule of thumb: "Two or three months' salary for the engagement ring."
But in truth, there is no fixed rule as to how much an engagement ring should cost. The right amount depends entirely on your personal circumstances, your style and your priorities.

An engagement ring is more than just jewelry - it is a symbol of love, promise and individuality. That's why your budget should be as unique as your relationship.

đź’ˇ Tip: It's best to set yourself a budget with upper and lower limits. This will allow you to keep an overview and choose between style, stone and metal without having to compromise on quality.


đź’° How to set the perfect budget

Ask yourself these questions before you buy the ring:

  • What is my current financial situation?

  • What expectations does my partner have?

  • Which designs, stones and metals do we like the most?

As soon as you have determined your price range, you can compare different designs, precious metals and stones in the STELLINI online store - and immediately see how the selection affects the price.

đź’¬ Professional tip: A smaller diamond of high quality (e.g. excellent cut) often looks more brilliant than a larger stone of inferior quality.


🪙 Which metal suits you? - Style & personality decide

The character of an engagement ring is strongly influenced by the metal chosen. Here is an overview of which option suits which type best:

🟡 Yellow gold

The classic. Warm, timeless, elegant. Perfect for anyone who appreciates traditional values.

⚪ White gold

Modern, versatile and discreet. Harmonizes perfectly with cool skin tones and diamonds.

âš« Platinum

Luxurious, extremely durable and hypoallergenic - ideal for everyday use.

đź”´ Red gold

Romantic, eye-catching and modern - perfect for individualists looking for something special.


đź’Ť Styles - find your personal look

Every style tells a story. Find the one that best expresses your love:

  • Solitaire pavĂ©: The classic solitaire - but with sparkling extras along the ring.
  • Halo: A ring that surrounds the main stone with a "halo" of small stones.
  • Flower: Playful, feminine, inspired by nature.

  • Trilogy: Expressive - symbolic of the past, present and future.

  • Side stones: Maximum brilliance thanks to additional side stones.

 


đź’Ž Which gemstone is the right one?

The gemstone is the centerpiece of the ring. Here are your best options:

đź’  Diamond - the eternal classic

The diamond stands for constancy, purity and love. No other stone sparkles so intensely.
With its hardness, it is the symbol of a love that lasts a lifetime.
