Moissanite Halo Engagement Rings Near Nashville, TN

According to The Knot and other reliable sources, Americans pay an average of $6,000 on an engagement ring.
However, this figure requires additional explanation:

• As a rule of thumb, an engagement ring should cost you 2 to 3 months of your salary.
• Be aware that for a same dollar amount you can get very different stone size and carat weight depending of the kind of gemstone you will pick.

Here is a quick guide to help you understanding the different gemstone size you can get for the same money.

To eliminate any mistakes while buying an engagement ring, you should determine your own budget, pick the right seller, and pay a close attention to the return policies offered.

• Set The Right Budget: How Much Should You Spend?

  You've probably heard about the general guideline that an engagement ring should cost 2 to 3 months of your salary. Also, according to The Knot's 2021 - How Much to Spend on an Engagement Ring, the average American spends $6,000 on an engagement ring. For that reason, there is no such thing as "the correct" amount to spend on an engagement ring. You should only spend what you can afford and evaluate your own financial status.
  If you are on a "limited" budget, you should be able to find flexible payment options, 0% APR financing such as Affirm, a layaway plan, or credit payment options.

• The Best Diamond Alternatives:

  Lab grown and especially lab created diamonds like moissanite, considered the greatest alternative to a diamond, cost on average 90% less than diamonds of equivalent quality (see the 4C’s).
  If you can't buy your "ideal ring" right now, you should consider upgrading your engagement ring at the appropriate date. This is something your jeweler should be able to help you with.

• Why is buying online a better option than buying at a brick and mortar store?

  Save money without reducing quality: Traditional retailers face the costs of renting, staffing, and maintaining a storefront. Online retailers do not have to make the same markups and can pass the savings on to customers.
  Larger choice of engagement rings: It would take much longer to visit several stores in person to look at a limited selection of engagement rings than it would take to browse hundreds of engagement ring styles online.
  Time-saving, 24/7 shopping: When purchasing an engagement ring online, customers can save a lot of time and money. There's no need to stress about going from one jeweler to the next without knowing if you'll find what you're searching.

   Gold:

   24 Karat gold is 100 % pure gold. It is, however, too soft to be used in most jewelry.
   As a result, gold is mixed with other alloys to make it more durable and secure for gemstone settings.
   18 karat gold (75 % pure gold) and 14 karat gold (58.3 % pure gold), which is the most commonly used in fine jewelry.
