Our most successful engagement rings
Traditionally, it is said that one should spend about two to three months' salary on an engagement ring, but this is an older guideline, and it is important to remember that there is no fixed rule. The price of an engagement ring can vary significantly depending on factors such as design, metals, and stones. We recommend spending what feels reasonable and comfortable within your budget. The most important thing is that your engagement ring holds symbolic value for you and suits the person who will wear it.
Explore our wide selection of engagement rings for your unique style at VANBRUUN. We offer everything from diamond rings to solitaire rings, side stone rings, halo rings, three stone rings, gemstone rings, and plain rings for both her and him. Choose from metals such as platinum, palladium, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and red gold to create an engagement ring that reflects your style and individual preferences.
Absolutely, it works perfectly fine. An eternity ring is highly appreciated as an engagement and a wedding ring. Often consisting of multiple stones placed side by side around the ring, it symbolizes eternal love and the unified bond between two people. Many choose eternity rings as a beautiful symbol of their engagement because of their significance and elegance.
No fixed rule or exceptional traditional value states that engagement rings must match. The choice of rings is an individual preference, and it is entirely up to the couple whether they want matching rings. Many couples choose matching engagement rings, while others select rings that reflect their taste and style. The most important thing is that the rings have a special meaning for the couple, and they feel satisfied and comfortable with their choices. So, no, it is not a requirement to have matching engagement rings unless it is what the couple truly desires.
You can engrave a date on your engagement ring through engraving, which is free of charge when purchasing a ring from VANBRUUN. There are several ways to write a memorable date on engagement rings, including numerical form (24.07.2024), letter form (24 JUL 2024), Roman numerals (XXIV VII MMXXIV), and short form if you have limited space in the ring (JUL 24).
No, it is not necessary to both have a wedding ring and an engagement ring. The choice is entirely up to the couple or individual and their preferences. Some choose to have only one of the rings, while others prefer to wear both to symbolize different stages in their love journey. The most important thing is that the rings are meaningful to those who wear them, and there is no rule about how many rings one should have.
Does the man also receive an engagement ring? Yes, even the man can wear an engagement ring if he chooses to do it and if you both agree to it in the relationship. Traditionally, engagement rings have often been associated with women, but in today's society, it is increasingly common for men to wear them too. It is a personal choice, and no strict rules govern this decision.
Within the timeless tradition, an engagement ring symbolizes a more profound commitment between the couple. It is common for both the man and the woman to wear their engagement ring, but this is by no means a requirement. Every couple is free to explore their unique paths and express their love in their own way.
There is a common misconception that buying jewelry outside the EU, for example in Dubai, is always cheaper. Unfortunately, this is almost never the case once the actual regulations are taken into account.
As a private traveller, you may only bring goods worth up to EUR 500 into the EU without paying customs duties or taxes. If the value of the jewelry exceeds this limit, you are legally required to declare it at the border and pay both customs duty and VAT.
If you choose not to declare jewelry that exceeds this value, it is considered smuggling, which may lead to fines and confiscation.
In practice, this means it is almost never cheaper than purchasing jewelry directly within the EU — where you also receive full guarantees, insurance options, and a secure shopping experience.
