How to Save Money on Engagement Rings: Pop the Question Without Breaking the Bank

Just because you’re getting ready to spend the rest of your life with someone doesn’t mean it should take a lifetime to pay for the ring. Although many wedding traditions of the past relied on sweeping demonstrations of wealth and economic potential, that climate is rapidly transforming today.

Recent developments in engineering, mining operations, online shopping, and cultural attitudes are among several factors that have increased affordable access to diamonds and jewelry.

For diamond engagement rings, the central diamond will usually make up most of the cost. In the past, diamonds were quite tricky to find, making them appear rare and, therefore, more valuable. Still, a diamond’s cost predominantly depends on four factors that jewelers call the four Cs. The Four Cs -Carat weight -Clarity -Color -Cut

[{"selector":"#anim-9fa0b850-409b-4a4c-916c-f232a4d395ff","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-67b9cc22-ef37-4d33-bf0e-fb22b8fe1462","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.96816%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

You can use the four Cs to reduce your diamond’s cost significantly. One way to do that is to prioritize one or two traits while going a little lower on the others. For example, if you want a large stone, consider one with less-than-perfect color. Alternatively, a smaller stone with exquisite clarity and cut quality can be visually stunning.

[{"selector":"#anim-e23e6d63-0581-4b6a-a4ac-42fe214e12c7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-120868d0-3f56-4012-918f-54bc5f03df68","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.28663%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

While much of your ring-buying focus will be on the stone, the setting is also crucial to cost and appearance. For instance, a band with many additional stones can quickly raise your bill.

[{"selector":"#anim-da00403f-9bf4-40b7-ae0f-8a1fea02926a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5afaf8ea-9b01-449a-b3e2-0f706708fc36","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Online shopping is a lifesaver for reducing the cost of your engagement ring. You can not only choose between many online merchants but also use filters to pare down.
