Tips for a Priceless Inexpensive Engagement Ring
You want the most extravagant, luxurious and beautiful engagement ring to express the endless and dynamic your love. No ring seems to come close to representing the extent of your heart’s commitment and desire. Your love may be priceless but engagement rings are not free. How do you reconcile giving your partner the ring they deserve without punishing your bank account? You may be able to find an inexpensive engagement ring that expresses your intent perfectly. Here are a few tips to help you choose a special ring on a budget.
Take Advantage of Financing
Though this option may seem obvious, it is always important to remember that it is always viable. When purchasing anything through financing, always consider your income and your fixed expenses. You may be approved to finance everything in the jeweler’s, but you want to stay cautious about what you can realistically commit to on a month to month basis. If it is possible to avoid financing, do so. Besides, you’ve got a wedding to plan!
Keep it Simple
Another option is to pick a more affordable engagement ring. Many styles are simple and inexpensive yet extremely elegant. Perhaps the most recognizable of these styles is the solitaire engagement ring. A simple band plated in gold or silver (sometimes both) with a diamond in the middle is the archetypical symbol of commitment and betrothal. You can vary the size of the stone to fit both your tastes and your budget. Best of all, the style’s traditional appeal makes it timeless. Another style with similar appeal is the three stone ring.
Use Other Stones
Another option that is growing in popularity is using additional stones and gems. You may choose to add your partner’s birth stone to a three stone ring, with a diamond in the middle for example. In some cases, people find themselves happy with engagement rings that do not include diamonds.
If you know your partner’s taste, exploring these options can help you pick an inexpensive engagement ring without cutting stylistic corners.
