Budgeting

It is true that everyone has a limit when it comes to how much one can spend. You cannot go broke while purchasing a single ring, that will be utter stupidity. Do make a budget but be generous about it. Keep a big margin too so that if you can, you upgrade parts of the ring to make it better. The truth is, there is no such thing as an affordable wedding ring. The perfect ring will be expensive. However, there are a few tips you can follow to keep yourself from getting looted by the sellers.

Research

There is no room for bad decisions when the boundaries on your budget are tight. Start your search as early as possible. Look into different stores, search different styles, consider all your options, and make comparisons. Find out what is generally cheaper, which places offer better rates, what time of the year will you find bargain deals, etc.

Switch up the stone, metal or style

You don’t always have to go for a gold band, diamonds or fancy styles. Keep it simple and classy. Switch the gold with platinum. Replace the diamond with your partner’s birthstone. Remember that the ring should be personal and special. This doesn’t mean it has to have a big price tag.

Shop options

Going for mainstream jewelers isn’t the best idea when you’re looking to save some dollars. You can visit the famous stores to get an idea of rates and styles. However, do not make your purchase from these fancy stores. The truth is, these jewelers have more experience as well as more overhead costs. Ultimately, they will be charging more for the product than it costs. This cost is definitely justified if you keep in mind the extra services these bigger stores offer. However, you cannot afford excessive services when you’re low on budget.

Consider online shops. They’ll be easy to search and compare. On top of that, they will offer lower prices since they don’t have a brick and mortar shop that they pay the rent of. Another option is to look into departmental stores. These places are more casual and suit people with lower budgets. Other than that, you can look into smaller jewelry shops that aren’t very famous. These sellers will probably even offer you extra discount in hopes of attracting a customer.

Family heirlooms

Wedding rings are supposed to be special and what’s more special than something that welcomes the newly wed to the family with an open heart? Family heirlooms will cost you nothing but their sentimental value will always be priceless. The best part is that since the ring is being carried on for generations, it is probably already made of very precious metals and stones. Simply get it re-sized and use it to add a royal touch to your wedding!

These tips will ease your worries. The search for the perfect ring is surely hard and time consuming. Just take deep breaths, don’t make rapid decisions, and keep researching. You will definitely find something you love!
