Half Price Weddings

Most people visiting our site probably are already engaged, but if not this is a short blurb on how to buy an engagement ring for less than what it will appraise for.  What do you think of 50% built in equity? Knowing 99% of you will not be selling your ring, equity is probably just the tag line. The real goal is getting more value for the dollar. These days couples will pick out the engagement ring together or at least the woman will give hint to what kind of ring she may want such as white gold, gold, marquise, round cut, brilliant cut, princess cut, etc.  This helps the guy in that arena, but what about getting a good deal?

To start off with do NOT go to any jewelry stores in malls or shopping centers as their prices are a quarter to twice as much as the ring will appraise at as they have different over head that must be calculated.  Do check the Internet out as that is where you will find the good deals. I know some people are hesitant from buying online especially something of this value. In order to avoid any mishaps, do your research.  Find a good store that is reputable. When buying from most stores on the Internet, there is no overhead and you are practically getting wholesale prices. There are some good places located in NY, and you should check out auction sites as well, because one thing about diamonds are they are forever, so when you buy from an auction a loose diamond and than have it set, or even the complete ring, you are most likely getting an awesome deal.

If you already have an engagement ring and that phase has passed you can apply all of this information to your wedding rings as they too are something you will have forever. Congratulations on your engagement!
