2. How Can I Make an Engagement Ring More Affordable?

There are a few ways to make an engagement ring more affordable:

💍 Balance the 4Cs of the diamond: The price of a diamond engagement ring is directly related to the 4Cs (cut, clarity, color, carat) of the diamond. You can lower the cost by choosing a smaller diamond, fancy-shaped diamond, or by compromising on the 4Cs of the diamond.

💍 Choose a simpler design: Streamlined designs are usually more affordable. You can opt for simple and classic styles, such as a solitaire engagement ring or a 6 prong engagement ring, to make the engagement ring more budget-friendly.

💍 Consider alternative metals: Platinum and gold engagement rings tend to be more expensive. You can consider choosing non-traditional ring styles or materials, such as a white gold engagement ring instead of a platinum or gold engagement ring, for a more affordable yet beautiful ring option.
