If spring and summer are the times to think about weddings, then now is the time to think about wholesale diamond engagement rings before matrimony. Don’t be put off by the notion that owning a diamond is outside your financial reach. I did some browsing of my own to help my brother with his engagement ring. He’s 10 years younger than I am, and I am slightly more experienced with these things. My expectation is that spending about $1,000 or so is about right for many men. I would not consider that the absolute, but it is a good starting place. Ultimately, you have to begin looking somewhere. I wanted to simply throw out an idea to get him thinking. I told him what $1,000 would buy in terms of wholesale diamond engagement rings online. He could buy an impressive one carat ring for about $800. Honestly, that same ring looks as though it is worth $2,500.
