You’ve Googled “engagement rings Hong Kong”, now let’s cut through the noise. At Valentina Fine Jewellery, we believe in smart spending: investing in quality, design, and durability, not just dollar signs.
Hong Kong Proposal
Average Engagement Ring Spend in Hong Kong:
Here’s a full breakdown by carat, setting, and metal:
Couples in Hong Kong typically spend between USD 5,000–7,000 (HKD 39,000–55,000) on their engagement rings, among the highest globally, whilst those shopping the luxury brands (Tiffany's, Harry Winston and Cartier) spend between HKD 56,500–340,000.
Luxury brands pricing differs purely based on the brand markup and marketing overheads, and not the quality of the diamond or the finished ring.
In contrast, bespoke or independent jewellers, like us at Valentina Fine Jewellery often offer better value at the same or higher quality, because you're paying for the stone and craftsmanship and not the logo.
