(NewsUSA) - There are a few big purchases in life that you really don't want to mess up -- a first house, a health care plan, a new car, and especially, the engagement ring for your loved one.
According to The Knot, a popular wedding inspiration magazine and planning website, the decision is so important it takes consumers more than three months to find the perfect ring, and the average cost is $5,000.
