I'm doing a little research. In the near future, I plan to write an article about whether the popularity of lab-grown diamonds and moissanites has affected the cost of engagement rings.
Previously, there was a conditional rule about “three salaries” (that’s how much the groom had to spend on the engagement ring). Now there are no rules. In addition, diamond substitutes had a significant impact on the budget. So, is there a direct connection here and what is the current average bill for a ring?
