Buy an engagement ring cheaper online
Additionally, when comparing engagement rings of the same quality, it’s apparent that buying online is less expensive than from a physical shop. An online jeweller has decisive advantages when compared to a brick and mortar shop due to the agile business model and less retail overheads. The online jeweller purchases the diamond directly at the source hence the cost saving is passed directly to you, the customer.
Become money-smart with the right quality features
One way to buy an affordable engagement ring and cleverly save money is to choose a diamond of good quality that visually doesn’t differ from the more expensive options.
For example, if you choose a colour grade H diamond with a SI1 clarity and a very good cut for your engagement ring a non-expert will not be able to distinguish it from a very expensive flawless diamond in colour D with an excellent cut. Even a diamond expert would only be able to assess this with a diamond loupe. Another way to save money is to choose white gold or platinum as those precious metals add extra brightness and sparkle to the ring.
By having the right strategy when comparing the diamond characteristics, you can not only save money but also find a dazzling ring without paying a premium price.
Less carats for a more affordable engagement ring
The reason is because many people like to choose a whole number for the carat weight. This is a psychological phenomenon which leads to a demand increase and a higher price in comparison to carat weights just below this magic numbers.
Affordable engagement rings with non-traditional shapes
Therefore, choose a halo setting where the central stone is completely surrounded by small diamonds. This is a good optical trick to make the central stone appear larger. It is the ideal choice for inexpensive engagement rings that still look very impressive and convince with a particularly strong sparkle.
