Couples spent and average of $5,855 on their engagement rings in 2014, up from $5,598 in 2013 according to The Knot 2014 Real Wedding Survey. The annual survey asked 16,000 people married in 2014 to detail costs of their weddings. When you’re spending that much of your hard earned money on a single item you want to be sure you’ve gotten the most for it. J. Wiesner Private Jeweler offers a unique selling position which allows us to give you that peace of mind. Being an upstairs jeweler gives us an advantage over high rent mall stores in addition to personalization you simply will not find at a big box retailer.

The survey also detailed the top wedding trends. Number one: The integration of smartphones in the planning process. “Perhaps the biggest change we’ve seen is the amount of brides using their mobile phone to plan their wedding – it’s doubled in just three years” , said The Knot. Also important: Personalization continued to rule, with couples opting to spend more on details.

When it comes to the engagement ring, personalization is best achieved by creating a custom design for your ring. The use of computer-aided design programs allows us to offer you an interactive experience where the jewellery design is defined by your personal touch. You can take inspiration from various existing designs or you can create or dream it up from scratch using designs that mirror your relationship. Giving you the platform to do this is what we do best at J. Wiesner Private Jeweler.
