Eye Jewelry Umaki Co., Ltd. recently released the results of a survey conducted nationwide on 106 men and women aged 20 to 60 asking “Do you need an engagement ring?” When asked, “Have you purchased an engagement ring?” 52.8% answered “Yes, I have purchased one,” while 5.7% answered “I plan to purchase one but haven’t bought one yet,” 4.7% answered “I’m undecided about purchasing one,” and 36.8% answered “I won’t purchase one.” When asked “Do you think an engagement ring is necessary?” 47.2% answered “I think it’s necessary” and 52.8% answered “I think it’s not necessary,” with those who said “I don’t think it’s necessary” slightly outnumbering those who said it’s not necessary. When those who felt they needed one were asked why, the most common answer was “I admired engagement rings” (13.2%), followed by “I thought it was natural to buy one” (12.3%) and “I wanted to make my partner happy” (11.3%), revealing that the main reasons for wanting an engagement ring were the people’s admiration for it, their values, and their feelings for their partner. Among those who answered that they did not need an engagement ring, the most common reason given was “It’s not something I would wear on a daily basis” (22.6%), followed by “I don’t see any meaning in an engagement ring” (13.2%) and “I’d like to allocate that expense to other areas” (8.5%). In response to the question, “How did you choose your engagement ring?” 58.5% overwhelmingly answered “We discussed it together and chose it,” followed by 20.8% who answered “I chose it myself” and 20.8% who answered “My partner chose it.” [Yorozu News] 2024/9/17 (Tue) 8:10.
>>1 Please give the ratio for men and women. I won’t post the URL, but the same company did a study last year in which the ratio of people who want rings is women >> men. When asked “Do you want to get married?” 52% of women answered “Yes,” while 45% of men answered the same. Furthermore, when those who answered “I want to get married” were asked “When you get married in the future, would you want an engagement ring or a wedding ring?” 59.6% of women, or about 60%, answered “I would like a wedding ring,” while the same figure was true for 40% of men.
>>2 So true. No matter how extravagant the wedding is, those who want to break up will break up immediately, and those who don’t want to break up won’t break up.
I don’t need an engagement ring and I didn’t get one (I told her I didn’t need to buy one) We didn’t even have a wedding ceremony We just invited our parents and siblings over for a dinner party.
>>10 My wife said she didn’t want anything, so that’s how it turned out We didn’t take any photos I just asked for wedding rings and went to buy them Neither of us are wearing them.
People around me who have weddings and rings are getting divorced all the time, but I’m not getting divorced like I am, even though I don’t have a ceremony or a ring and people are against my marriage, so I don’t really understand marriage.
>>20 Exactly the same lol We didn’t do the engagement ring, wedding ring, dowry, reception, ceremony… but we had a cute baby and are having a great time We took wedding photos thinking that the baby would want to see them someday and we even went on a honeymoon.
Money isn’t an issue, and it probably depends on her personality. I gave it to her when I proposed, thinking that it would be one of the things we build together, like a determination to never turn back and trust.
>>26 It becomes just a ring It’s worn at friends’ weddings and is basically a dead item That’s why it seems like more and more people are replacing rings with watches these days.
Diamond rings for engagements are a brainwashing advert for De Beers, and there are tons of diamond mines, and they can actually be made artificially to be more precise than natural ones, so they’re not really worth anything.
When a woman I know got engaged, she said, “I don’t want an engagement ring, I want you to buy a brand-name ring just for me,” and the engagement was broken off.
I bought it because we had an engagement ceremony, but I don’t need it because it’s so expensive. I saw on social media that wearing both an engagement ring and a wedding ring was popular, and I wanted one, so I was forced to buy one.
I bought it as a keepsake because my partner wanted it. I don’t think it’s a big deal if it costs a few hundred thousand yen. I don’t know about people who plan to get married multiple times though.
