What is Black Friday? 

Black Friday is a shopping event that takes place the day after Thanksgiving on the last Friday of November. It’s one of the busiest shopping days of the year in both the United States and the United Kingdom as retailers offer massive discounts on their products.

The phrase ‘Black Friday’ comes from how accountants used black ink to highlight a profit for a business, compared to red ink for a loss.

Black Friday crossed the Atlantic and came to the United Kingdom in 2010. Amazon took part in Black Friday in the UK when they promoted a range of discounts for their products for one day.Since then, Black Friday has become a major shopping event across countless retailers in the UK.

 

Why is Black Friday called Black Friday​?

The term “Black Friday” has an interesting history that goes back long before it became associated with shopping deals.

Originally, “Black Friday” was used by the Philadelphia police in the 1950s and 1960s to describe the chaos that followed Thanksgiving Day when large crowds of shoppers and tourists flooded the city before the annual Army-Navy football game. The streets were packed, traffic jams were severe, and shoplifting increased, so the police nicknamed the day “Black Friday” because they dreaded working it.

Later, retailers reinterpreted the name in a more positive light. Traditionally, shops recorded profits in black ink and losses in red ink in their accounting books. The idea was that the day after Thanksgiving marked the point in the year when many retailers “went into the black”,  meaning they started turning a profit thanks to the surge in Christmas shopping.

Today, Black Friday refers to the major retail sales event that kicks off the holiday shopping season, with shops and online stores offering big discounts to attract customers.

 

When is Black Friday​?

Black Friday in 2025 falls on the 28th of November.

If you’re shopping in the UK, note that many deals will begin earlier (or run for a weekend or longer) around this date.

 

Do engagement rings go on sale for Black Friday​ 2025?

Yes, engagement rings are included in Black Friday sales. Most jewellers run Black Friday promotions that include engagement rings, and it's often the ring setting that is discounted more than the centre stone. 

At Diamond Heaven, we are currently offering 30% off made-to-order and 50% off quick-delivery pieces. Shop our Black Friday discounts here. 

 

Best price on a 2ct diamond ring for Black Friday

 

Whether you’re planning for the perfect proposal or a 2ct diamond eternity ring to put under the Christmas tree, Black Friday is the perfect time to shop for a great deal. Many jewellers have a range of diamond shapes and ring styles available to choose from, but only a few have options to customise your ring design and make changes to your ideal diamond carat weight and price. 

When shopping for a lab grown diamond ring during Black Friday the 2ct dream is more affordable compared to a natural diamond. Lab grown diamond prices range from £1,850 to £4,000 depending on what specifications you are searching for. 

During Black Friday, you can find prices dropping as low as £1,500 for a beautiful lab grown 2ct solitaire engagement ring and £2,000 onwards for a 2ct centre diamond shoulder set ring, proving that Black Friday is a great time to shop when you are thinking of making a big purchase this Christmas.

 

Best price on 3ct diamond ring for Black Friday

 

Many of us have never seen a 3ct diamond in person or thought that this carat weight is an affordable choice. However, this is becoming more achievable with the huge discounts available during Black Friday weekend. 

Many jewellers offer price reductions throughout November in the lead up to the big weekend, so it's always worth researching prices early. This gives you plenty of time to compare savings before committing to a big purchase. 

A 3ct diamond ring is a statement piece, and is perfect for an act of declaring your love over New Year, or gifting jewellery to someone special at Christmas.

The price difference when shopping for a natural diamond is huge when you could pay between 50-80% less for a lab grown diamond of the same carat weight. Prices for a 3ct diamond range from £2,500 to £6,000 depending on what specifications you are searching for. However, when you are shopping during Black Friday sales you can find prices dropping further! 

Some prices have been predicted to go as low as £1,800 for a beautiful quality 3ct diamond solitaire engagement ring. This is still available when you create your own engagement ring, and you can choose from many diamond shapes and solitaire ring styles in platinum, yellow or white gold. 

Ultimately, Black Friday is a great time to compare prices, especially  when you are thinking of popping the question before the New Year.

 

Engagement rings under £2,000 for Black Friday

How much should you spend on an engagement ring? Two thousand pounds has become a popular budget. Use the £2,000 price mark to compare a natural diamond engagement ring to a lab grown option and see the difference in quality and quantity for the perfect balance within budget. 

Here are a few different styles you can shop for all within a £1.5k to 2,000 pound budget:

• 2ct lab grown oval cut solitaire engagement ring 

• 2ct lab grown radiant cut solitaire engagement ring

• 1.5ct lab grown pear solitaire engagement ring

• 1.5ct round diamond shoulder set ring

• 2ct bezel set solitaire engagement ring

 

 

Engagement rings under £1,500 for Black Friday

When comparing your salary to the average spend on an engagement ring, the cost can range anywhere between 1 to 3 months' salary. However, this is not practical for everyone, especially coming up to Christmas. So, it’s important to factor this into the total spend, bringing the average price to around £1,500. 

This £1,500 figure is great to keep in mind when you visit jewellers online or in-store  to compare what you can get for your budget. Always take a look at the quality and carat weight difference to make sure you don’t miss out on the perfect ring. You can also compare options up to the £2,000 price mark to see what you prefer. 

Finally, check the price of a natural diamond engagement ring compared to a lab grown diamond option and see what is more important to you and your partner, as the difference in quality and carat weight might be bigger than you thought. Always check both options to make sure you are getting the most sparkle for your money. 

 

 

When Does Cyber Monday Start This Year?
