@leona And I must add a caveat - have never bought or shopped for a ring - engagement or otherwise

22c+ gold cant go for 5k.....14c+(pair) goes for around 20k and 18c+(pair) goes for around 24000k....talking of pure gold...Nagin patni are based at fedha towers ground floor facing city hall.

@Mpenzi, That's reassuring..

@All,
Haiya,kumbe rings are that expensive?and after that bado kuna ya harusi?? No wonder dudes are shying off engaging fine ladies out there. What's the importance of an engagement ring btw?and how long should it stick on one's finger before the actual wedding?

@leona: No hating. Just can't imagine wearing a '22 carat gold ring that was bought for 5k LOL!

Anyway, the prices range like jyo has stated! Bought one for my small bro from Argos at 24k.

@McReggae: Your 'friend' needs to shop with a budget because clearly there is variety at very different prices! I understand you can even send 'someone' to source it for you! Woe unto you if it is already engraved and you don't notice!

@Sasha
Tihihi! the closest i've come to a ring is a ring rosary,and it cost me a mere 20bob Am thinking,probably my buddy paid 25k and i thought it was 5k! no wonder the chic was all glowing and praising the guy while i stood there wondering what the fuss was all about!!

@Mlefu
You seem to know quite a lot about rings eh..kwani ulinunulia Mrs Mlefu ngapi jameni?
