Top 15 Most Expensive Engagement Rings in the World
Is the price of the engagement ring in any way correlated to the success of the marriage? We’ll let these rings speak for themselves.
How much should a man spend on an engagement ring for the woman he wants to marry? Half a year’s salary? Two months’ salary? None because diamond rings are instruments of capitalism?
That all really depends on what the man and his fiance-to-be believe.
Perhaps for regular people, a piece of jewelry should never be worth more than your home or your car. But for these incredibly wealthy men, spending a couple of million dollars on a ring for the woman they love isn’t a big deal. Just check out this list of the world’s most expensively extravagant engagement rings.
