How much do you spend on an engagement ring?

Those rules about spending a certain amount of your monthly salary on a ring are completely outdated. Just buy whatever you feel like, and more importantly don't get yourself into debt over it, especially if you have a wedding to pay for too.

With the rise of alternative engagement rings, there are so many other affordable options that are more original than a diamond solitaire.

How to shop for an engagement ring

As well as the four Cs, Cut, Carat, Clarity and Colour, there are many things you should look out for when buying an engagement ring, including the shape and if you should buy an engagement ring online, luckily we have you covered. Here's our handy guide on how to buy an engagement ring online.

Remember to come back and check this page when Black Friday starts, as we'll be sharing the very best ring deals here for you.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
