We all know that finding the perfect engagement ring is essential and from meeting the purchasers in our showroom, 77 Diamonds understands the lengths and effort that people go to in order to please their significant other.
As difficult as it is to keep the proposal a surprise, finding out the tastes of the wearer is proving to be more and more tricky. Insurance company AXA has produced a survey of people that have been married within the last 5 years and uncovered some interesting statistics in the process:
Of the 1000 people surveyed:
· One in sixteen brides-to-be receive ‘buffer ring’ ahead of picking their own jewellery
· Average of £1,373 spent on an engagement ring
· However, one in twelve never receive an engagement ring
· Fourteen per cent forced to go without as their partner can’t afford it currently
We know ourselves from the popularity of couples coming to our showroom together that a temporary ring is a popular option – often the guys (or girls) don’t want to get it wrong and disappoint so they propose with a token ring and then come together in order to choose the perfect ring for the recipient.
As the world continues to evolve the traditional trends of the past tend to alter slightly in order to get the best for those involved and we are delighted to be able to help our customers in that way.
