Average Costs for Engagement Rings in Norwich

When it comes to engagement rings, there’s no fixed price. The final cost depends on factors such as diamond quality, metal type, ring setting, and whether you choose a bespoke design.

Across the UK, most couples tend to spend between £1,500 and £3,000 on an engagement ring, though many beautiful options are available above and below this range depending on style and preference. In Norwich, you’ll find a similar spread of prices, with independent jewellers and larger retailers offering pieces to suit every budget.

Most Affordable Rings

For those starting their search, entry-level rings typically range from £500 to £1,200. These often feature smaller natural diamonds or lab-grown alternatives set in simple yet timeless designs.

Mid-Range Rings

The most popular price range for engagement rings in Norwich falls between £1,500 and £3,000. Within this range, you can expect higher-quality diamonds, a greater selection of shapes and settings, and the option of premium metals like platinum.

High-End and Bespoke Rings

For those looking for something truly unique, bespoke or eye-catching, engagement rings often start from around £3,000 and can rise significantly depending on size, cut, and design complexity. These rings are often handcrafted to order, offering exceptional detail and exclusivity.

At Diamond Heaven, we cater to all budgets. Every ring, regardless of price, receives the same level of craftsmanship and care, allowing you to find something special without compromise.

What Affects the Price of an Engagement Ring

Several factors influence how much you’ll pay for an engagement ring:

• Diamond size (carat weight): Larger stones increase the cost of your ring significantly. To keep costs down opt for a fancy shaped diamond (i.e. marquise, pear or oval) to give the illusion of a bigger diamond or select a lab-grown alternative.
  
  

• Cut, clarity, and colour: These three aspects determine a diamond’s sparkle and overall quality. A colourless, flawless diamond will cost noticeably more than a stone with blemishes, so make sure to compare their appearance side-by-side.
  
  

• Metal choice: Platinum tends to be more expensive than 9 karat gold, however in a higher purity such as 18k gold you may find this has a higher price and value as gold prices can fluctuate. It’s important to consider the durability of the metal in addition to the colour to ensure your engagement band suits your lifestyle.
  
  

• Setting and skill: More intricate settings add to the cost of the ring due to the extra workmanship required to add those final finishing touches that others may overlook.
  
  

• Bespoke designs: Custom-made rings usually carry a higher price tag, but they offer something truly personal and unique.
