The Average Cost of Wedding Bands
A wedding band is usually exchanged at the wedding ceremony as the representation of the union of marriage. While the biggest jewellery cost is commonly the engagement ring, wedding bands are also a budgetary factor to contemplate on. In Ghana, a good wedding band should set you back an average of GH 350 and above. They usually come in the forms of White gold (the most popular wedding band material), while rose gold, yellow gold, and silver seems to be the favourite of most Ghanaians. Or they could be quoted with these materials. Know that the form the ring takes will determine how much it will cost.

What to expect when buying a wedding ring in Ghana
At ring4lessgh we know that most Ghanaians in our time don’t treat getting a wedding ring with much-needed seriousness because they think that it is easier to get a cheaper one on the market or they think that bigger is much better. No matter your general perception of wedding rings, the most important thing you need to consider when getting a ring for your significant other is the price.
- Don’t avoid getting her input.
A lot of people don’t consider the opinions of their significant other when getting them a ring with the hopes of surprising her, but the thing is women/people, in general, have preferences. Some may want it as elaborate as possible, others want their ring to be quite simple. So do a little digging around and ask her friends or her family about their own opinions on rings or you could ask her about her opinions on wedding rings.
- Uniqueness counts.
When doing your research for the perfect ring try to find something that does not seem ordinary, something different. If you cannot find something that has the “je ne sais quoi” you need, then you could spend those extra cedis on a jeweller to customize your rings.
- Cheap may not pass
Some people think that you can find a really beautiful carat ring for cheap, but the truth is that if you want a diamond on it or if you want it to be covered in gold, then you must be prepared to pay that extra thousand GH cedi for it. Remember that it is super unlikely to find an actual diamond ring or an actual carat ring online, except for a few online shops like ours. We recommend coming straight to the source (ring4lessgh), where our experts will help you find the best possible stone cut ring on budget. We have the tools to prove the quality of our rings to you.

- Don’t think that bigger always means better.
No ring will be perfect but strive for the best ring that you can get. This is very applicable especially when it comes to getting a diamond ring, most grooms want their partners to get the biggest diamond they can get on budget, without considering the quality. For such grooms, we say research the 4 Cs of diamond grading before you even leave your home. The 4 Cs are discussed later in the article.
- Ring size matters
Do your best to find out her ring size ahead of time if possible. This will make your final purchase much simpler.

- Girls don’t always “NEED” diamonds
Though it is said the Diamonds are a girl’s best friend they can be quite pricey. So you could find yourself an alternative stone. The prices of wedding rings in Ghana and beyond will vary based on the type of stone you want out of the ring, to save money you should know that there is a whole list of alternative stones out there, and the advantage of these stones to diamonds is that they come in an array of wonderful colours. Some of these alternative stones include Glass cut stones, Rubies, Crystals, Emeralds, Morganite, Tanzanite, Opal, and Amethyst the list goes on and on. Speak to us about any of these and we’ll do our best to deliver them to you.
- Compare prices
The best thing you can do for yourself and your money is to not always buy at the first shop you find there are so many jeweller retailers now. If you should search online for the prices of wedding rings in Ghana you will be sure to find a good number of sites offering you the best for your money, but the problem with these shops is that they may not give you what you actually ordered from them so try finding an authentic shop that you know is not solely online-based. Usually, rings bought at large eCommerce shops like Alibaba have to factor in costs like sales tax, shipping, return shipping, and shipping insurance should you require it; which could end up being a farce because the ring you may receive could possibly not be what you ordered. If you are in Ghana, do visit any of our shops in Accra or Kumasi or compare prices on our Instagram page
- Stick to Your Ring Budget
Always have a ring budget, sometimes it could mean getting a relatively cheaper one online. No matter your general view on what ring to get, make sure to have a price range and what you are willing to pay as an extra fee, if the need should arise.
- Know the four Cs
These Cs are Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight. Use this especially when getting a diamond ring. It could help you determine if you are being played for a fool.
