How Do You Buy A Diamond Engagement Ring On The Cheap?
Buying a diamond is always a big decision. Here are a few tips on how to buy that special someone a diamond engagement ring that wont break the bank! Step 1 The Diamond. Purchase a “used” diamond. A used diamond in perfect condition is exactly the same as new diamond only it costs a whole lot less. Step 2 Check your favorite jewelry shops for rings on consignment. An Estate Jeweler should have a good selection of diamonds. Unless you are looking for an estate ring, you are only interested in the diamonds in the rings and not the rings. However, you will have to purchase the entire ring with the diamond at these shops. Be sure to know how much a new diamond in that category would cost you elsewhere before making a purchase. Step 3 After you purchase your used diamond ring, go to your favorite jeweler and pick out a setting that will accomodate the diamond you have purchased. You can sell the shank (the ring) to the jeweler for a reduction in price on your new setting.
