Budget & Cost Breakdown
On average how much are wedding rings?
My partner and I are trying to set a ring budget. On average how much are wedding rings for each person?
On average, how much are wedding rings? Most couples spend roughly $1,000–$2,500 total on their two wedding bands, often a bit more for the bride's band if it has diamonds.
Average price drivers:
- Metal: platinum costs the most, then 18k, then 14k gold
- Width and weight: wider men's bands use more metal
- Stones: pavé or eternity bands add hundreds to thousands
- Custom engraving or design
If you're including the engagement ring, survey averages for engagement rings alone are commonly in the $5,000–$6,000 range — but there's no rule you have to match it.
