Affordable Engagement Rings

Cut greatly affects the brilliance of a diamond. Because of this, it should be of top priority when making your selection.

To save on a center diamond, opt for a stone that’s just below the next carat threshold. Instead of selecting a 1-carat diamond, look for a 0.9 carat diamond. Shopping just shy of the next round number will lower the price of the diamond, and the difference won't be discernible to the eye.

The most expensive of all the diamond shapes is the round diamond. Shopping for any of the nine fancy shape diamonds will help lower the cost of an engagement ring.

Saving up for an engagement ring begins by determining a budget. While there are many schools of thought regarding how much of your salary you should put aside for an engagement ring, there is no set amount you should spend. Instead, focus on saving for an engagement ring that’s within a price range you’re comfortable spending. 

When you’re shopping for inexpensive engagement rings, you don’t have to compromise on quality. You can choose from affordable rings with top-quality materials including gold, platinum, diamonds and gemstones. Simply focus on the elements that are most important to your design so you can choose a ring that’s stylish and within your budget. Gemstone choice is the best way to make a ring more affordable, such as choosing an alternative non-diamond feature gemstone or a nontraditional diamond shape to maximize your budget.

While diamonds are the most popular gemstone for engagement rings, non-diamond center stones are a great option when it comes to affordable engagement rings for women and men. Alternative gems such as rubies and sapphires offer long-lasting style for a lower price point.

The short answer is that a fiancé should spend however much they’re comfortable spending. There are no set rules regarding how much you should spend on a ring. Instead, you should focus on choosing a ring that’s within your budget and one that you know your special someone will love.
