The engagement rings and wedding rings would be on the top of list when you consider some of the most expensive jewelry purchased by you during your life time. Hence it becomes really important that you make a choice that will please you both. It is important to get the best affordable ring so that you can woo your loved one without emptying your pockets.
The best thing to do is take resort in the safe side and opt for a diamond. The appearance would be as good as new when it is in good condition. The bright side is that you would have to pay a lot less. There are a variety of ring designs that you can find in the consignment area. It would be better if you can shop around various estate jewelry shops for rings with quality diamonds. You can always keep away the ring and use the diamonds if you are able to find them and grab them at a reasonable price.
For avoiding over payment, make sure to enquire about the cost of a brand new diamond of that category before you purchase it.
Now there is another situation when you would be able to find a ring with a desired diamond. You can take the diamond to the jeweler and ask him to use it in a design that you prefer. There is also an option to resell the ring to a jeweler and get a reasonable discount. You must also be careful while picking the ring from the jeweler since there are chances that he might trick you with light effects and other techniques which are above your conception. So ensure that you see the diamonds and select them when they are not fitted to the ring.
