Even though one of the main trends of 2021 is called chic, thicker bands, simple engagement rings are still popular. Primarily due to the acute economic situation. Many people have lost their stable income and confidence in the future. However, you can't put off a romantic relationship until later, as well as the desire to be together and get married. In difficult times, family traditions and the support of loved ones help find a solid footing and look into the future without fear.

This topic is carefully researched every year and 2021 is no exception. 1930s De Bers proposed an advertising formula according to which the groom must spend one month's salary on the proposal ring.  (at that time, De Beers jewelers had to sell a huge amount of small diamonds (up to 1 carat), small stones are always much cheaper and there are always more of them than other stones. That is why this whole story was invented. In 1980, it was already a two-month salary, in the last decade it has reached the equivalent of a three-month salary. However, the most recent research from the National Wedding Survey showed that, for example, in the UK in 2021, grooms are ready to spend about $ 3,350. And a survey by the insurance company found that the average cost of a wedding ring is now around $2000. In the United States, the average cost of an engagement ring is slightly higher - $ 5,000.
