Where Can I Purchase Affordable Diamond Engagement Rings?

Brought to you by affordable cushion cut engagement rings.

When approaching the costs associated with marriage, an engagement ring, so very small, can become a looming threat to a restricted budget. Finding an affordable option that allows a couple a ring can become a major issue. The couple should put all the options on the table for discussion.

To save money a substitute for a diamond is a good idea such as a cubic zirconia. Back at the beginning of the last century, the De Beers company, faced with a glut of quality diamonds and a sagging market, devised a very successful advertising campaign linking diamonds with true love, and the diamond engagement ring as a “necessity” was born. 

The modern diamond is overpriced, and sells primarily because of the mystique created and perpetuated by De Beers and other diamond merchants. You have other stones and diamond substitutes with the same beauty, clarity and durability.

If you and your partner want real diamonds, you must start the search quite early. The first option is frequently overlooked:  resetting a stone that a family member from either side already owns. Purchasing a used diamond will generally be less expensive than a new one, and the new ring may have added significance if it’s from a family member. Your budget won’t be dimmed by a diamond if you offer the ring as an outright gift and place the diamond in an attractive setting.

If that doesn’t work, you could ask an experienced jeweler who sells individual  gems to locate a stone for you at a discount.  Understand, your idea of low price may not match a jeweler’s…but a jeweler of repute is far less likely to cheat you than a fly by night, or a well intentioned chain supplier with limited jewelry education.

Good jewelers will help you find affordable stones through different avenues, like other professionals and estate sales.

A reputable jeweler can also educate you regarding diamonds, far more so that any other source you can find. Diamonds are an expensive item to purchase.  The prices are often inflated according to market demand.  To bypass this price increase, you should find a jeweler willing to suggest a substitute. Their suggestion is often based on their knowledge of both quality and affordability. Not everyone lusts for a diamond.  Some just love white topaz, others Moissanite, and some cubic zirconium, so there is something for everyone if you look.   

If you approach some experts, they will recommend some strong, fine unexpected alternatives. Listen, and be prepared to consider their advice. Jewelers are not happy to sell diamonds at extreme prices to people who will never have the training to love them for more than their shine and their value as “traditional stones.” While a lot of them feel as if they are frauds, they need to charge a sufficient amount to cover what they spend. Without damage to their  honor and your satisfaction, they can find a better choice and they will get a profit too.

A final, long-shot option, not recommended but certainly possible, is to take advantage of pawn shops and such bidding venues as eBay. One discrepancy in terms of resolving the blind spots that form as a result of acquisition trails is the lack of quality control.

Even a dealer offering a stone or a piece of jewelry in good faith can “cheat” you simply out of ignorance, and the buyer is in a poor position to confirm the worth before purchase. There are several things to gamble on in ones life. Your engagement ring should not form a part of them.
