   Hello everyone.
   I'm completely new to the forum, so feel free to give praise or criticism if my approach is not correct. I am a 25-year-old man with limited finances who is getting married next spring, and I’m wondering what the usual budget for a wedding ring is, and if you possibly have any recommendations? I would like my loved one to have as nice a ring as possible, but I have just graduated and don’t have much money to spend on a ring or the wedding. Hoping that some of you who are married have some tips?
   Thanks

      If the goal is to spend money, take a wheelbarrow of it into the jewelry store and be sure to give the receipt to your fiancée.
      
      If the goal is a beautiful diamond ring go to Fred Meyers or Kay's Jewelers (or equivalent) and ask to see lab produced diamonds.  Neither you, your fiancée or anyone likely to ever see the ring can tell the difference, but they are much cheaper.

   Congrats on your upcoming wedding, @HappyAlex! Do not stress too much about the ring's price. What counts is the feeling it holds. The wedding band does not need to be costly or crafted from pricey materials like gold or platinum. Several lovely and strong options exist that won't cost a lot.
   
   From what I know, I have a friend whose ring grabbed my attention for being very unique. When I asked, I found out it was tungsten carbide! Very strong, modern and quite budget-friendly.
