Knowing what you can afford in engagement rings and wedding sets is an important part of making the best possible purchase. Determining what price range works for you with affordable engagement rings should be the first step, the looking at the best possible quality engagement rings in the price range is the next.
Diamonds and gems in engagement rings are the most costly component. The settings in which the diamond is placed or grouped can help to maximize the visual impact of the diamond and make it look larger or smaller. A larger central diamond is often set off by a smaller setting and band, making it possible to spend more money on the diamond and less on settings.
Smaller diamonds or diamond chips clustered or grouped either around a central diamond or gem or in a design will also make the overall diamond look bigger. Diamond chips and smaller diamonds used to create the pave style are not as expensive as a single large diamond so you may be able to afford a much larger ring staying with multiple smaller stones.
Colored gemstones and precious gems such as green emeralds, blue sapphires and red rubies can really set off a smaller diamond. Engagement rings with other stones are very popular and can really maximize your purchasing potential.
Taking advantage of different cuts or shapes of diamonds will also make the ring look larger or the diamond more the central focus. Engagement rings featuring marquis cut, elongated ovals, pear shapes and emerald cuts are longer in shape, making for a larger looking diamond overall.
It is important, whatever type of diamond you are buying, that you purchase the best color, clarity and cut possible, rather than just focusing in on the size of the diamond itself. The dazzle and sparkle of engagement rings is based on those factors, not the size of the diamond. Even a large diamond that is cloudy or flawed is not going to be as nice as a high quality smaller diamond, especially with diamonds in solitaire style round or Ascher cut engagement rings.
Talking with your jeweler and being realistic about what you can afford to look for in engagement rings is important. Maximizing both the diamond quality and cut as well as getting the best possible setting to showcase the diamond doesn't have to be expensive.
Mixing and matching settings with loose diamonds is a wonderful option when looking at engagement rings. With this type of purchase you select the diamond separate from the setting, allowing maximum flexibility in designing many kinds of engagement rings
