More and more couples couples are breaking tradition and sharing the cost of an engagement ring.

[This article](http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/band-aid-article-1.1478307#ixzz2h4T55VWk) spotlights brides in New York City who are flaunting rocks that they paid for themselves or chipped in to help cover. A few reasons these women broke out the dough include avoiding debt, already sharing finances, wanting a larger diamond and a bride who makes more money.

[The](http://www.today.com/style/splitting-cost-engagement-ring-would-you-do-it-8C11279106)*[ Today ](http://www.today.com/style/splitting-cost-engagement-ring-would-you-do-it-8C11279106)*[Show](http://www.today.com/style/splitting-cost-engagement-ring-would-you-do-it-8C11279106) recently mentioned the new trend, citing that more women are contributing to a couple's finances and going dutch on an engagement ring isn't so out of the ordinary anymore.

According to [The Knot](https://www.theknot.com/content/splitting-cost-of-engagement-ring), about 2 out of 3 brides are involved in picking out their rings, and about 1 in 4 percent helped shop for it.

A new trend of man-gagement rings can also level the playing field, allowing a woman to purchase an engagement ring for her husband-to-be without contributing to her own ring.

***Do you like where this trend is going? Or does it take the romance out of an engagement?***
