Choosing an engagement ring on a budget without compromising on the WOW factor

Do you feel ready to take your relationship to the next level but worry you don’t have enough money to buy your better half an engagement ring she’ll love? Don’t worry! Engagement rings come in all shapes, sizes and prices. Here are a few tips for shopping for an engagement ring on a budget without compromising on beauty.

• Set a realistic budget

You may have heard about the outdated rule that you should spend at least two months’ salary on an engagement ring. That simply isn’t true! You can’t put a monetary value on love. It’s easy to find a stunning engagement ring that your special someone will love at a modest price. At Ben Moss, we have engagement rings for as little as a few hundred dollars.

• Explore alternative gemstones

No one said an engagement ring must be set with diamonds. More and more brides are opting for beautiful gemstone-adorned rings that cost far less than their diamond counterparts. Popular gemstones with an affordable price tag include morganite, aquamarine and white sapphire. However, if diamonds are a must, Ben Moss has a wide selection of lab-grown diamonds from New Brilliance that won’t break the bank.

• Play with an intricate setting rather than an expensive metal

The stunning white sheen of platinum is currently all the rage. However, yellow, white and rose gold are equally good options and typically cost less. Instead of splurging on the most expensive metal, focus on finding a beautiful ring with intricate details and filigree to up the WOW factor on your lover’s engagement ring.

• Design a custom ring

If you’ve been shopping for an engagement ring for a while and can’t find anything you like within your price range, you might like to design your own. You can customize every detail, from the stone to the setting, while staying on budget. Whether your future fiancé prefers classic, modern or vintage rings, the Ben Moss team can help you create the perfect bespoke piece.
