Engagement Ring Prices and Market Prices

Quality of engagement rings for a 500,000 yen budget

When you think about buying an engagement ring, the first thing you might think about is price and market value, such as “How much would my girlfriend like it?” and “How much would other people pay for it?”

We'll detail general retail market prices for engagement rings as well as popular price ranges.

Point 1

1. Check the “Most Popular Purchase Price Range” and “Average Purchase Price”

There are two indicators to understand the popular engagement ring prices: " Most popular purchase price range " and " Average purchase price (market price)"
People often only focus on the "Average Purchase Price (Market Price)", but the results of the two are slightly different, so we recommend checking both carefully to understand the correct trend.

Most popular price range

The most common purchase price range for Brilliance Plus is below 250,000 to 300,000 yen.
Secondly, there is little difference in the ratio between 150,000 to 200,000 yen and 200,000 to 250,000 yen, and in fact most people will choose the 150,000 to 300,000 yen range.

Although budgets increase with age, engagement rings in the $20,000 to $25,000 range are popular across all age groups. You can get a high-quality engagement ring for this price.
We also found that people of all ages choose engagement rings at a variety of price points. It seems that couples choose engagement rings based on their personalities and are not too concerned about market prices.

4. Appreciate the feeling of giving

It is said that the average price of an engagement ring is about 30,000 yuan nowadays, but there is absolutely no reason to "buy an engagement ring at this market price." What is important is not the price, but the feelings of the couple who give and receive the ring. Buy a ring that will leave lasting memories within your budget.
But if you still want to get the best ring, even if your budget is below market price, we can help you find engagement rings that are priced at or above market price.
