A wedding ring is the lasting symbol of a couple’s love for each other. Selecting a wedding ring can be a tough decision. There are so many options and styles it can be overwhelming. Most wedding ring shops will offer custom ring designs. This article will specifically talk about finding the perfect wedding ring on a budget.
First and foremost, be patient. Allow yourself some time to save up money. Finding the perfect wedding ring may also take time. Don’t settle on one you “kind of like” just to have a ring. If you or your significant other is picky, it is worth saving for a custom ring. I have seen custom quotes as low as USD $1,200.
If you are really on a tight budget, most pawn shops have a wide selection of sizes and styles. A wedding ring at a pawn shop will seldom be priced at more than USD $1,500. Ask the shop owner if any of the rings are negotiable in price. The downside to purchasing a wedding ring at a pawn shop is that there are no warranties or protection plans.
Stones are the easiest ways to cut costs. A moissanite wedding ring will cost less than a diamond wedding ring. Moissanites come in several colors and have incredible sparkle. White Lab-grown sapphires can emulate the look of a diamond. Colored sapphires can add a bit of personality to the wedding ring. Other affordable and unique choices for a center stone include pearls and/or opals. Cubic Zirconia, also called CZ, is a lab-grown stone that also looks like a diamond. I would not recommend a CZ, however, because they eventually lose their sparkle.
Finding the perfect wedding ring is the ultimate task and there is a lot of pressure to do so. Add the inflated prices, it can be that much more difficult. Be patient and the best wedding ring and price will come.
