Depending on how you do it, getting married in New York can be wildly expensive—and that starts with the very first piece of the puzzle: the engagement ring.

In the gallery above, see a few stunners that clock in under three grand from Anna Sheffield, Doyle & Doyle, Satomi Kawakita, Rebecca Overmann, Conroy & Wilcox, and more.
