GO FOR HALO SETTINGS –
We are not saying that the Halo setting is not expensive, the elaborate craftsmanship (the extra diamonds) adds up to the cost. However, with this setting, you can save big on the center diamond. The halo setting features accent diamonds surrounding the center stone. These accent stones add more sparkle to the center stone making it appear gigantic. This way you can choose a smaller stone, without compromising on the overall shine of the engagement ring.

Wedding or Diamond ring –
Let’s first bust a typical classic myth about engagement rings, larger stones are the only way to celebrate your eternal love. So, here’s a thing, you don’t need a larger stone to impress her. It’s the love that matters and you can get the bling that supports your pocket.
But make sure to have an honest conversation with your partner about this before you start looking for engagement rings. Another way you can get affordable engagement rings is by looking for rings that are typically picked as wedding or diamond rings. One great option to explore is Eternity RingsWomen these days are very open to subtle fashion trends and they love keeping simplicity over anything, which is where these rings can come as dazzling yet elegant additions to the jewelry collection. These rings are everyday rings that can be carried off easily without any worries of them getting snagged on clothes.
Here are some of our favorites from our collection that you should definitely consider for your proposal.
The Bands –
People think that diamonds are the only factor responsible for the lavishing cost of engagement rings. But bands have a significant role to play in those numbers. So, instead of going for trending and expensive metals like platinum, try to explore much more cost-friendly options like white gold or rose gold. It is said that platinum is 40 to 50 % more expensive than white gold, because of its density there is more platinum that is required to create a piece. Also platinum is rarer than any type of gold which again contributes to the high price tag of this metal. It is also critical to select an engagement ring with a thinner band. Of course, you don’t want a too-thin band, but engagement rings with thicker bands contain more metal, and more metal equals more money!
The color of a diamond –
Color is the level (or lack thereof) of color that a diamond reflects. Some diamonds are naturally ice-white, while others may have yellow or brown flecks. The color scale for diamonds spans from D (totally colorless) to Z (noticeably yellow or brown in color). However, Colourless diamonds have a significant disadvantage in that they are more expensive due to their scarcity. Colorless diamonds can be hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more expensive than near-colorless or dim yellow diamonds. Fortunately, you can still obtain a colorless diamond without paying excessive prices. Near-colorless diamonds (G – J) will still face up as white and are significantly less expensive. So if you and your partner wish to put all the focus on diamonds then this is the best way to obtain the dazzle within budget.
Extra (Bonus) Tip: How to have affordable engagement rings.
Find an heirloom ring:
Mom, are you looking to pass down that ring you had? Is there a diamond ring collecting dust somewhere in the jewelry box or drawer? Transform it into a romantic engagement ring for your partner. You may re-size a ring or have a custom setting made for a diamond. You’ll be saving a lot of money — perhaps even nothing — and the passed-down piece of jewelry is right there with you.
Change your budget, if things are not going your way:
Your ring size does not measure your love. Look to cut your budget to something a bit more reasonable. Your partner might also need to adjust expectations as part of whether the proposal would be a good choice for both.
Do not rush:
Now you might be ready to propose, but give it a minute. And remember you need a ring and to potentially save up for a wedding or a marriage that costs money! Start looking for affordable engagement rings now but keep looking for the ring until it come with the price you wish for.
