More Ways to Save:
- Consider buying a pre-owned engagement ring. I Do Now I Don't is a website where people can buy and sell engagement rings for great prices, and it's definitely worth checking out!
- Consider getting a lab-created diamond. Brilliant Earth offers a beautiful selection of lab-created diamonds, which are identical to natural diamonds. They're typically better quality and less expensive.
- Familiarize yourself with the store's return policy. No one wants to think about this option, but you could ultimately end up saving yourself big in the long-run if things don't work out during the proposal or engagement.
- Make sure you know what you're buying before you pay for it.
Ensure that the diamonds you're buying are certified and the business you're ordering from is legitimate. FAQ pages, reviews, customer support and the Better Business Bureau are great resources.
