So, whose engagement ring do Brits prefer?
Whether you love big statement rings or prefer something a little more demure, it seems that us Brits love a showstopper accessory.
We surveyed the nation to find out more about their taste when it came to celebrity bling, and found that top ring as favoured by a fifth of Brits (20%) was Meghan Markle’s engagement ring, followed closely by Jennifer Lopez (16%) and Kim Kardashian (14%).
Towards the bottom of the list, just 3% of those surveyed said they would choose Angelina Jolie’s elongated engagement ring and just 2% would opt for Scarlett Johansson’s. Could this be because of the unique colouring of the band and diamond?
Unfortunately, for those hoping their partner will surprise them with a ring much like Beyoncé’s whopper, you may be in for a shock. Based on the average 2019 salary in the UK of £30,420, it would take a colossal 879 years to save up for a ring like hers. Maybe we should start saving now?
We’re firm believers that a beautiful engagement ring doesn’t have to cost the earth, so whether you’re influenced (78%) or not (22%) to buy a ring based on what a celebrity has, at Buckley London we have some truly stunning pieces that will last a lifetime and won’t break the bank.
