Bangalore: Engagement ring is a big investment which cannot be avoided in one’s life. Some people carry a weird notion that the amount you spend on your engagement ring denotes your love towards your partner. But it is not the money that matters, but your sweetheart’s likes/ dislikes. Before planning to buy them, determine your budget, how much you can spend. Here are some tips to save on your engagement ring-

Buy a one carat diamond ring, with a half carat diamond in the center and a circle of small half carat diamonds around the center stone. You can save thousands of rupees, at the same time the diamond at the center will look bigger also, giving it a classic look.

Go for a diamond with slight yellow colour in it as coloured diamonds can fetch more money. People won’t notice the slight colour and depending on the shape of the stone, the colour may or may not be obvious.

Buy engagement ring and wedding band together. Buying set is one of the most affordable approaches. Trio sets carrying ladies engagement ring, ladies wedding ring and gent’s wedding ring is a good option.

Buy light carat diamonds, reducing couple of points. Visually there won’t be much difference. But there will be a big difference in price.

You can also buy a promise ring, synthetic diamond or a gemstone as an engagement ring.

Compare the quality and price of diamonds in different jewelry stores. This will help you from getting cheated.
