Depending on the 4 C’s – carat, cut, clarity, and colour – diamond rings can range anywhere between $3,000 to almost a million if you have a celebrity budget. Setting a budget for yourself and finding viable options within that range is important, as well as brushing up on your diamond knowledge, so it’s important to be prepared before going in.

To help you out, we visited our good friends at Diamond World Fine Jewellery and collected four different diamond engagement rings for different budgets, ranging from $3,000 to $15,000.

Remember, when shopping for a ring, always talk to your jeweller about your options and any questions you have. They’re the experts for a reason.
