What is the standard or typical gift for chosson to give kallah in the yichud room? (And price range)

Yeshivish / balabatish families, working boy.

Thanks!

Your chosson gave you cufflinks? She asked for gifts from the chosson to the kallah.

In my circles it is pearls though I did not do so for my 2 youngest DILs as I knew they wouldn't appreciate them. I got them lovely diamond pieces (which they could exchange if desired).

I think the standard gift is pearls but a lot of girls don't really like pearls so I would ask the kallah if she would prefer a diamond necklace or earrings...

I got a necklace. I didn't get pearls because I didn't want since I already have.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

So I'm getting that it's still pearls if the girl likes that, and if she doesn't, it's a diamond necklace or diamond earrings.

I assume the price range should be $500-$1,000? But I don't want to seem "cheap", am I totally off?

Thanks again

Pearls is generally the option that comes out cheaper, before you offer the kallah which one she would like price it out.

Gift? I gave him a tallis, but I didn't get anything in the yichud room.

He did give me a ring at the chuppah.

"standard" gift is pearls.

My MIL gave me the choice of pearls or a diamond necklace, because she knew that some girls today (a few years ago BH) think pearls are outdated. I chose the pearls b/c they are a classic choice, and when else do you get pearls?

And yes, it is customary in yeshivish/balbatish circles to get a gift in the yichud room.

I got diamond earrings and I had gotten pearls at an earlier occasion during our engagement. I would have preferred the opposite in order to have my earrings for pictures.
