My fiancé loves her ring I was thinking of dropping 4-5k on her engagement ring, but then decided on getting her a $2000 ring and i took her on her dream vacation to japan I proposed to her at the team lab borderless art museum in Tokyo Fellas don’t feel obligated to drop Big money on a ring. Instead buy a nice ring in a comfortable price range, and take a bomb ass vacation with the money you’ll be saving
That sounds beautiful ~ my partner and I are heading to Japan this September! We're also visiting the museum in Tokyo too ~ I bet it was a spectacular place to get down on one knee!
@@voiceofhena4013 it's worth it's price, it's hand made fromm start to finish... What is not worth it is a $55k cast ring!!! It is lower quality and more porous! For 55k it should be hand made!
@@angelcake001 actually;;they broke up like a few months before this episode....thats why hes sad;; you can also see in some of the worth it food videos where hes feeling quite down and andrew is visibly trying to cheer him up :( my poor boy
Ochre Objects just did not impress me whatsoever. I appreciate the idea. I also love elegance in simplicity. However, the samples shown seemed plain and lacking in character. Nothing I'd feel excited about.
I love the rings themselves. Just seems like she is targeting the wrong market. I'm sure she would make more sales if she sold it for its actual value as a stacking ring. Not worth it as a 1k engagement ring.
I was cringing a little when I saw this episode but watched anyway. I'm a goldsmith and most people who do videos about jewelry just like to bash jewelers, the cost and the "diamond industry" This video was actually neutral and positive. I loved your choice in jewelers. As a jeweler I love creating pieces that remind people of celebrations and love. I'm currently carving a custom ring remaking a departed sisters ring into a new piece that my guest can wear everyday to remember her sister. I love being able to help people heal, and to restore grandma's ring so grandson can propose. Well made jewelry can last generations with basic care. Diamonds, rubies and sapphires can hold up to daily wear (and repair!) Unlike most colored stones-which is why you see it so often in antique jewelry that's still around. Other softer stones wear down and break. This ring I'm working on has already taken hours to design, and now hours to carve the wax, cast, clean up and set the stones. I expect to spend 10-15 hours making this one ring. How is it that jewelry is too expensive when skilled Craftsman take days to create a piece to last generations? 🤷 It was nice to watch a video where fine jewelers if several different kinds are celebrated. Thank you!
It's so tiny that it's hardly noticeable 😒 I have seen the same design for the fake rings on street stalls for less than a dollar. Yes its diamond but it's tiny. If your buying a ring atleast have it a decent size or just don't buy it🤷♀️
First ring is the most worth it already, the fact that she goes so much up in where the product comes from is insane and just... perfect... Sad it is that expensive... but the rings are beautiful and the production process is gorgeous too, thanks for show casing that people like that exists.
HeadHoncho no, that’s not what she is saying. Casting causes porosity and is lower quality vs Hand Made from solid metal (no cad or casting) which is how jewelry was made before the invention of Cad, lost wax casting ect. and still stands as the top quality choice of experienced designers.
@Taylor My wedding ring was from Walmart. A wide 10k gold ring set with several rows of czs for $100; people think we spent a fortune. One guy at the wedding even grabbed my hand and said, "Wow, you didn't get THAT at Walmart!" It was very funny.
5:56 "Vintage can literally be from last Thursday." Umm wtf thats just false. Vintage means a 20-99 years old. Antique is 100+. Anything less than 20 years old is just called used, pre-owned, or not new.
@@enorris768 that’s not true, they were explicitly talking about how old something must be to be called antique or vintage. And his statement was FALSE
You're paying for cost of gold (which is still high even if it's reclaimed) and labor. The gems and stones are less expensive but the gold and labor aren't.
My engagement ring and our wedding rings are from a small independent jeweller, where they put an incredible amount of care into them and made them from recycled gold. They also didn't look at us funny when we said we didn't want a diamond centre stone, or any new diamonds, in fact. Instead, we had an amazing experience working with them and happily paid for their craftsmanship. IIRC, we paid no more for ours, than if we'd bought equivalent rings from a retailer, but the personal touch added a lot of value for us.
You’re also forgetting that she is not a large company. She is a solo artist who has to pay for her life and her studio, so artists have to pay for overhead PLUS the cost of materials. I work in a small jewelry studio and the costs are always going to be higher unless you’re able to produce mass amounts.
@@laulutar my engagement set came from a smaller independent goldsmith. Using both white and rose gold with rough cut sapphires they cost somewhere around 5k. But you're paying for the cost of gold, the labor of a singular goldsmith, and the custom work.
@@lauren6429 The amount of gold she uses would cost about £120 (not sure what that is in dollars) and the labour we charge is around £100 (Ive worked in a jewellers for 5 years now). The diamond would still be the most valuable part of that ring at a few hundred dollars but she's easily doubling her money!.
Hilarious 🤣 as someone who used to be in jewelry sales I was cringing! I’m also amused at all the comments saying how surprised they are that the average is $6,000 for an engagement ring
Amanda B that really shocked me too! My husband spent $1,200 on my engagement ring and I can’t imagine wearing something bigger or flashier than what I have. It’s perfect for me and I felt like it was a pricey ring 😂
Here in Germany it was/is not common to have an engagement ring and the wedding bands cost about 250-950€, anything beyond that is just plain crazy to me
The average American does NOT spend that much. Rather, that's the average spent on engagement rings in America. It factors in the price of engagement rings purchased by celebrities and other assorted very rich people. Their engagement rings can easily cost six and seven figures. The actual average American making an average salary really spends less than $2,000 on something like this.
I have known one person in my entire life whose ring was more than $2,000 and everyone was completely shocked and telling them it was way too expensive.
My engagement ring was 1000$ 1/4 ct. and bought with summer job money. Husband was also in University so money was scarce. That was 25 years ago. We got our wedding bands from Sears for 60$. We got married in a campsite with my parents and two witnesses and the justice of the peace. (And our dog,Jake!) I know our anniversary is in June but I can never remember if it’s 10 or 12! 😂 I wore leggings and a sweatshirt husband had jeans and fleece on. Oh! Our wedding cake was a O’henry cake from the grocery store. I think in total not including rings my wedding cost 200$ max 😂 Still together🤷♀️ Marriage is hard. Just being honest.
A friend of mine married a really poor farmer. He made an engagement ring out of a a pig tooth. Eventually they were able to afford a walmart ring but she still has pig tooth one.
anyone else not really crazy for diamond rings? Like yes, they are gorgeous but there are far more beautiful rings out there. My engagement ring is actually a morganite ring with a diamond halo and matching band. Its breathtaking
Morganite is beautiful. My engagement ring is a vintage Tanzanite with tiny little diamonds in the shoulders. Never been a big lover of diamonds, with the exception of coloured ones.
I always wanted a morganite and finally got one - rose gold setting. It was gorgeous and loved how different it was. I quickly hated it though... The stone gets very dirty and cloudy, cleaning it made no difference. It was bad lol gemstones in general are high maintenance and you need to be prepared to clean it often and baby it.
Not a big diamond fan. I got to pick my engagement ring 💍. I went for a 2.5 ct sapphire and it makes me so happy. Just had our 20th wedding anniversary a few months ago.
@@dayangmarikit6860 Not really. A diamond ring will outlast any other gemstone. Additionally, you have to take into account if you want a bright diamond being the grade or a less shiny one like the offparts they used in the first ring and the clarity.
@@mish_elle1450 - I said it depends on personal taste... I know of a woman who has a plastic ring as her engagement ring, she was alread married for 20 years before her husband bought her a proper diamond ring. Plus some of the first rings did have diamonds in them... I'd personally be happy with a small (3mm/0.11) carat diamond ring.
You know even 1k is too much~? Or is it just me? As long as it's real gold (so it'll last longer), simple, nice design and most especially chosen by your loved one for you, it'll do~
Yeah, the process with which it was made is wonderful, but the ring could also be from H&M. It doesn't look expensive - and no matter what Americans say, over 1000 bucks for a ring IS expensive.
Watching this as a Jewelry Designer is quite interesting. I love the range they showed and options for engagement rings. No matter your budget, style, ethical or environmental concerns, you can find a ring that satisfies them all.
I would choose the first place too, not just for the price but because she uses recycled material. I don't need an expensive, fancy ring. Lovely season finale! Excited for worth it food :D
I have rings like that for stacking/ styling. they really don't scream 'engagement' at all. I'd also be curious to see what the re-sale price is. My guess is its hardly a fraction of the price.
Mine was $5k but technically it was a set. And mine isn't diamonds but a rough cut sapphire. The reason the cost is high is due to the gold and the fact that it was a smaller custom goldsmith who made the rings not a corporation.
Who wants fake diamond rings? they are a pain on the real diamond industry as a lot of jewellers are selling them as real diamonds! Ive been a jeweller for 5 years and we have to be so careful when purchasing diamonds!
I’ve done TONS of research. I plan on going Moissanite as well. It’s NOT a fake diamond, because it’s NOT a diamond! It’s moissanite. It’s almost the same hardness as a diamond too.
@@AnagaMusic I doubt you're a jeweller because any jeweller would know a moissanite is a completely different precious stone than a diamond. That's like saying a sapphire is a ruby.
@@neat24 I mean it would be more like saying green crystal is similar to green emerald... as the colours are exactly the same and one is used as 'Fake' quite often in the industry. Try being a jeweller and then telling me about it! aha
Can surely get a beautiful ring for $100 but it won’t last, sadly. Scratch and dinged or broken. That’s really what’s being paid for with a more expensive ring-a lifetime of wear and tear.
I love antique engagement rings...especially those of an art deco design. The thing is very rarely do antique jewelers have a full set so I feel like you still need to have a good custom jeweler on deck to get a band that will compliment a vintage ring (if you're a person who wears a band with your ring). For instance, if her band was a u shape to cup her ring @6:21 her wedding set, which is lovely, would look better in my opinion
Nguyen Hong Anh especially made from recycled materials and the metal generally looked thin, which is not ideal for a ring that you’ll be wearing everyday for the rest of your life
They're targeting the generation of people who are "woke." You're much better off just spending your money at the antique place... has way more character and the value wont plummet like the tiny ring.
😂 look in the pandora section then when you need to propose because I can’t imagine anything under 1000 for gold the diamond and labor for the jeweler 🤷🏻♀️
I'm sorry, but you're not going to get any quality gold ring for $100 - even without stones. Gold is hovering right now at $1300 an ounce. Unless you get gold plated (not advised) or sterling, $100 is not a reasonable expectation.
That cheap ring is not worth the money. I treated myself to a diamond baguette eternity band from Noemie for my birthday. $840 for a lot more diamond. Much more stylish, too.
It was obviously not just about the diamond size. It was about the work the designer put into sawing, soldering, and polishing etc every little detail and the time and money that goes into the way she ethically sources every single element of the piece. You’re paying for her work and expertise, not the diamond size.
I would've been interesting to make the inexpensive option a CZ or moissanite ring instead! Both are alternatives to diamonds that look pretty similar and can save you a ton. Also because ring under $1,000 would've been better for the "cheap ring" since there are a lot of people who would really struggle to budget for a four-figure ring. Still a very interesting video!
I'd give up a digit to wear that vintage Victorian sapphire and diamond ring. Holy Hell. Someone is getting to wear it everyday, but it won't be me. :(
Actually, I am wearing a saphire ring quite similar to the one showed. I got it from my great aunt and I honour it so much. It must be like 70 years old at least.

It really depends on the taste... any kind of finger ring can be used as an engagement ring.
Exactly
George Svetovich I agree.
@@dayangmarikit6860 Not really. A diamond ring will outlast any other gemstone. Additionally, you have to take into account if you want a bright diamond being the grade or a less shiny one like the offparts they used in the first ring and the clarity.
@@mish_elle1450 - I said it depends on personal taste... I know of a woman who has a plastic ring as her engagement ring, she was alread married for 20 years before her husband bought her a proper diamond ring.
Plus some of the first rings did have diamonds in them... I'd personally be happy with a small (3mm/0.11) carat diamond ring.
You know even 1k is too much~? Or is it just me? As long as it's real gold (so it'll last longer), simple, nice design and most especially chosen by your loved one for you, it'll do~
Steven looks so sad during the whole video
No matter how cheap or priceless the engagement ring as long that you love each other and you have trust. I think that’s enough
That cheap ring looks like it came out of the 25c machine
Yeah, the process with which it was made is wonderful, but the ring could also be from H&M. It doesn't look expensive - and no matter what Americans say, over 1000 bucks for a ring IS expensive.
I said the SAME thing - Thank you!
Steven looking at his hand at 3:21 like someone really proposed to him
Ok but is the "average American" the mean, median, or mode? These $55,000 rings could totally be skewing the "average"...
Terribly sorry, could you remind me what mode means?
@@chikaefobi3059 the number most often repeated.
I think it’s all the celebrities skewing the numbers
Muhsin Harrison no, no it does not.
Muhsin Harrison oh frick sorry I thought you said the mode is the average
Watching this as a Jewelry Designer is quite interesting. I love the range they showed and options for engagement rings. No matter your budget, style, ethical or environmental concerns, you can find a ring that satisfies them all.
I miss Andrew, who agrees with me?
And don't forget Adam btw :)
They were never really part of the lifestyle crew so it’s doesn’t feel wrong. Kind of wish Evan was in an episode though.
Yep it doesn't feel complete without the trio
Since Evan no longer full time BuzzFeed. 😞
I got an ad about the amount you should spend on engagement rings before this.
How much did it say you should spend?
Sïmöñ Stëñbäçk I think it’s 20% of your yearly earnings
@@lexntm wut your from the fix ur names vid
@@MahmoudMKTelab I've heard 30. Huh. Interesting.
@@MahmoudMKTelab that's an outrageous amount
If you're measuring the cost of a ring in terms of your annual earnings, you financially irresponsible
What I wanted to see: Steven's finger stuck in an engagement ringer
What I did see: Confuzzled Steven
The first one was a .25 cent store candy machine ring .🤷🏽♀️😂😂
Irish Flava that’s exactly what I was thinking!!
8:08 their faces in the magnifying glass 🔍 😂😂
$1065? For that? No ma’am, not me.
I would choose the first place too, not just for the price but because she uses recycled material. I don't need an expensive, fancy ring. Lovely season finale! Excited for worth it food :D
False. Roy and Pam from The Office hold the record for the longest engagement in the world💍
“great deal”
>1k for a ring that barely anyone will see unless they actually stare at your finger for some odd reason
I have rings like that for stacking/ styling. they really don't scream 'engagement' at all. I'd also be curious to see what the re-sale price is. My guess is its hardly a fraction of the price.
fun fact : Diamonds are a ripoff

Average engagement ring is $6,000!! 😱 I thought mine was expensive and it was $2,500 lol
Chrissy there are engagement rings that cost hundreds of millions. I’m surprised it was only 6,000
Mine was $5k but technically it was a set. And mine isn't diamonds but a rough cut sapphire. The reason the cost is high is due to the gold and the fact that it was a smaller custom goldsmith who made the rings not a corporation.
@@wilmafistfit4788 true, those million dollar rings probably bring the average way up
Sounds pretty!! Mine's got a diamond in the middle and two sapphire stones
Mine was $1,700 and it has a sapphire middle with 3 little diamonds on both sides. In love with it
I wish you would have featured moissanite rings :(
Who wants fake diamond rings? they are a pain on the real diamond industry as a lot of jewellers are selling them as real diamonds! Ive been a jeweller for 5 years and we have to be so careful when purchasing diamonds!
I’ve done TONS of research. I plan on going Moissanite as well. It’s NOT a fake diamond, because it’s NOT a diamond! It’s moissanite. It’s almost the same hardness as a diamond too.
I was disappointed about that too! Younger people can more easily afford them and they are SPARKLY,I have one it's perfect and I didn't go broke
@@AnagaMusic I doubt you're a jeweller because any jeweller would know a moissanite is a completely different precious stone than a diamond. That's like saying a sapphire is a ruby.
@@neat24 I mean it would be more like saying green crystal is similar to green emerald... as the colours are exactly the same and one is used as 'Fake' quite often in the industry. Try being a jeweller and then telling me about it! aha
“I brought the average down” Me in every effin exam. Cheers to my fellow comrades!
6:54 before he said "my wife..." i was sure the other guy was his couple
If my partner spent that much on a ring I would hit him over the head with it 😂 I’ll take a $100 ring thank you!!!
sis pls be a pick me elsewhere
Ikr!! Rather use the money to go on a holiday, its not like other people will care if its real diamonds or gold...
My ring was 150 and It is absolutely perfect.
My ring was a family ring and free and it is perfect. I wouldn't have wanted my hubby to spend a huge amount
Can surely get a beautiful ring for $100 but it won’t last, sadly. Scratch and dinged or broken. That’s really what’s being paid for with a more expensive ring-a lifetime of wear and tear.
Dang my ring was $300 brand new, and is honestly so beautiful IMO. ❤️
Yes thought it was just me married 25yrs...widowed now ring cost mattered not one bit
Mine was less than 200 and it’s so pretty and different my family complimented it a lot lol I love it 🥰 and we’re traveling 🧳 instead
Damn that couple broke Roy and Pam’s record for longest engagement.
6:36 that’s literally what my engagement ring looks like! I just got engaged last Saturday
I really REALLY love the thought behind the first ring option, I'd prefer that just for the thoughtfulness alone.

I love antique engagement rings...especially those of an art deco design. The thing is very rarely do antique jewelers have a full set so I feel like you still need to have a good custom jeweler on deck to get a band that will compliment a vintage ring (if you're a person who wears a band with your ring). For instance, if her band was a u shape to cup her ring @6:21 her wedding set, which is lovely, would look better in my opinion
JUST PROPOSE TO ME WITH FOOD OR ANIMALS
john Devan wayne yES
Gurl, YES
I need a shiba Inu engagement dog
Will you marry me and my donuts and dog
Carter Platt, at least have the donuts and dog with “will you marry me”
1065$ for that tiny diamond ring? Come on, in Viet Nam that could be seen as swindle.
Nguyen Hong Anh especially made from recycled materials and the metal generally looked thin, which is not ideal for a ring that you’ll be wearing everyday for the rest of your life
They're targeting the generation of people who are "woke." You're much better off just spending your money at the antique place... has way more character and the value wont plummet like the tiny ring.

Me: *frantically returns my 10 dollar walmart ring
My biggest advice is to go shopping as a couple! I went in thinking I wanted one thing, and ended up picking a totally different style.
Rachel Starnes i agree! For us we ended up with a really non wedding model but amazing for my taste and hand
First one is dope,it's ethically sourced and isn't expensive
*Me:* Dad, I want some expensive ring.
*Dad:* Nah man! We have some expensive ring at home.
*Expensive Ring at home:* [Lord Of The Rings]
Not funny.
@@thejokerisme1978 its a dad joke you dong
If someone proposed to me by giving me the Lord of the Rings boxset I wouldn’t be mad
I was hoping the cheap one would be like 100 dollars for us normal people 🤔
You can buy a huge candy ring for 100 dollars
Normal people? I dont know anyone who has a $100 engagement ring
😂 look in the pandora section then when you need to propose because I can’t imagine anything under 1000 for gold the diamond and labor for the jeweler 🤷🏻♀️
Try looking at rings without diamonds for a start. There are so many more beautiful options.
I'm sorry, but you're not going to get any quality gold ring for $100 - even without stones. Gold is hovering right now at $1300 an ounce. Unless you get gold plated (not advised) or sterling, $100 is not a reasonable expectation.
That last engagement ring tho...GORGEOUS. I want it!
Steven was lowkey depressed this episode. Did he break up with her s girlfriend?🤔
Yes, his ex is now engaged to another girl.
garima sanger 😢
I’d like my ring to be a fresh Krispy Kreme donut 🤷🏻♀️😋
When you’re wearing a hefty house deposit on your finger
Rosie Martin lol San Francisco down payments easily reach over $300k
Interesting vid for Father’s Day. Season finale already? Looking forward to next season
That cheap ring is not worth the money. I treated myself to a diamond baguette eternity band from Noemie for my birthday. $840 for a lot more diamond. Much more stylish, too.
It was obviously not just about the diamond size. It was about the work the designer put into sawing, soldering, and polishing etc every little detail and the time and money that goes into the way she ethically sources every single element of the piece. You’re paying for her work and expertise, not the diamond size.
@@ktkt916 yes, it's it's still sad looking and not worth the money. That's not an engagement ring- maybe a stacking ring.
I was lusting after the sapphire ring at Trumpet and Horn. That is my jam.
Steven there’s girls in line waiting to know which month moves on to consideration 😂
I would've been interesting to make the inexpensive option a CZ or moissanite ring instead! Both are alternatives to diamonds that look pretty similar and can save you a ton. Also because ring under $1,000 would've been better for the "cheap ring" since there are a lot of people who would really struggle to budget for a four-figure ring. Still a very interesting video!
*I want neither*
I want the Ring of Power from Lord of the Rings
_For lifetime suffering_
Gollum would be after you if you took that lool
I think this was pretty insensitive choice for Stephen sake. He seems really down in this vid.
probably the vid was already planned but, yeah. that's still kinda sad
12:30 I love Steven's sense of humor lol
It’s never a dull day at Buzzfeed 😂
6:47 I love that ring so much
It's funny I'm a gem type of girl. I would hate to see a diamond in my ring. I love the vintage rings more.
"You just whack 'em." Best advice ever.
The saxophone playing in the background during the last one killed me 😂😂😂
The vintage sapphire is just so absolutely gorgeous 😍 My favorite by far!
I'd give up a digit to wear that vintage Victorian sapphire and diamond ring. Holy Hell. Someone is getting to wear it everyday, but it won't be me. :(
That was my favourite too!
Actually, I am wearing a saphire ring quite similar to the one showed. I got it from my great aunt and I honour it so much. It must be like 70 years old at least.
No contest the last one 😍
There was a missed opportunity in the first shop.... The rings making Thanos glove
even if i could never afford them, I can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship of ochre objects!! 💗💗it's so cool to watch her at work
She found all the infinity stones
