We summarized sales price data for natural diamond jewelry bought from James Allen using our site. Sales below $500 were excluded because they were most likely wedding bands. This price data above also includes sales of earrings, necklaces, and loose diamonds. However, these items are a small minority of the sales and cost less than a complete ring; therefore we are presenting a conservative price estimate for a diamond ring.
The engagement ring price distributions are visualized in the box-plots below. They are right-skewed, so the median is a better summary statistic than the mean. The median price for a natural diamond engagement ring has been consistent over time for users of our site.
