How Ireland Buys Wedding Rings
Ladies wedding rings cost from around €450 for a plain band to €5,000 for an intricate diamond wedding ring. There are many options in between with diamond set rings priced from around €750.
Men’s wedding rings tend to be plainer than women’s so the average price is from €400-€1,000. The main difference in price is the metal chosen and the quality and thickness of the ring. Platinum and Palladium are very popular and durable but cost more than yellow or white gold.
