COsT ACCOUNTING at what these ex-

t’s look penuses add

Diamiond engagement rings range from $150 for a tiny stone set in yellow gold to $900 for a perfect one - carat stone of course bigger stones cost more, depending on number of carats,

and quality of the stone.

The brides wedding ring, us- ually a plain, untooled gold band, ean cost as little as $10. Set with 10 or 12 tiny diamonds it might run up to $200. The groom's wedding ring is larger and wider than the bride’s and costs about twice as much.

The bridal bouquet can run from $15 to $25 while corsages for mothers start at $5. (The bride supplies bouquets for her attendants.) Usher boutonnieres cost $1 each
