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

  You've probably heard about the 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. Therefore, there is no such thing as "the appropriate" amount to spend on an engagement ring. You should only spend what you can afford and evaluate your own financial health.
  If you are on a "small" 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 such as moissanite, considered the finest alternative to a diamond, cost on average 90% less than diamonds of comparable quality (see the 4C’s).
  If you can't purchase your "dream 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?

  Spend less money without reducing quality: Online retailers do not have the same storefront costs as brick-and-mortar retailers, so they may pass the savings on to their customers.
  Larger choice of engagement rings: Visiting several stores in person to look at a small selection of engagement rings would take much longer than browsing hundreds of engagement rings styles online.
  Time-saving, 24/7 shopping: When shopping for an engagement ring online, customers can save a lot of time and money. There's no need to worry about going from one jeweler to the next without knowing if you'll find what you're searching.

• Virtual shopping experience:

  By setting a Zoom or Facetime meeting, you can shop virtually from the comfort of your own home or office at any time of day, buying the ideal engagement ring from a most extensive choice.
  You'll get your selection the next day. Depending on the merchant you choose, your purchase will be risk-free, shipping will be free, and it will be easy to send the item back.

• Return policy

  Before buying online, make sure the seller guarantees: risk-free purchase; certificates; free shipping and returns
