2 WAYS TO GET THE MOST FOR YOUR MONEY WHEN BUYING A CHEAP WEDDING RING

Posted by carry on November 25th, 2019

We don’t have to tell you that classic wedding rings cost a lot of money. The average ring costs ,351 to be exact (according to our research). No matter what your budget, here’s how to get the most bang for your bling.

Be strategic with the setting.
If your budget won't allow for that larger stone you have your eye on, don't worry. You can actually create the illusion of additional carats by choosing a halo setting (a circle of smaller stones around the center stone). Not only can this type of setting make the stone in the middle look bigger, it can also completely change the appearance of the diamond by giving it a vintage look.

Pick a prong.
Less metal means a lower cost, so opt for a more minimal prong setting (which secures the diamond like a tripod above the band) over a bezel one (a metal ring that encircles the sides of the gemstone to hold it in place). Since more of the stone is visible, a prong setting is a great way to highlight the diamond, as well as make cleaning the ring a lot easier. Just make sure to go with platinum for the prongs (even if the rest of the ring is gold or some other metal), since it's much stronger and will hold the diamond firmly in place.
