FAQs About Affordable Engagement Rings

What metal is best for affordable engagement rings?

At AURONIA, 14 karat gold is the most affordable metal for engagement rings and makes a stellar choice for everyday wear, considering the lower pure gold content creates a ring that can withstand dings, scratches, and the throws of everyday life. For something a bit more unique, rose gold engagement rings have a comparable price point with a warm pink tint.

White gold and platinum are more expensive, but 14 karat white gold is a solid compromise if you’re seeking an affordable metal with a silvery sheen.

What should I consider when shopping for cheap engagement rings?

When shopping for cheap engagement rings, consider the metal, the setting, and of course, the center stone.

Each precious metal has a different price, and in general, 14 karat metals will be cheaper than 18 karat since they contain less pure gold.

Additionally, settings impact the cost of engagement rings since more intricate designs require greater effort to create. Oftentimes, the simpler the design, the less expensive the ring.

And finally, the center stone has the largest impact on the price of cheap engagement rings. Natural diamonds are the most traditional option but also the most expensive choice, while lab grown diamonds and moissanite offer compelling, sparkly alternatives. If you have budget concerns but would like a larger stone on your ring, it’s well worth considering one of these diamond alternatives since it will grant you a significantly larger carat weight for a fraction of the price.

Why are premade engagement rings so cheap?

Premade engagement rings from big box retailers are often cheap because they use low quality materials and stones. These larger outlets tend to buy their stones in bulk, allowing less desirable gems to make it onto their rings. Conversely, at AURONIA, our diamond experts hand select each stone individually to ensure the highest quality at every price point.

Additionally, premade engagement rings from these retailers are often mass produced rather than made by hand, allowing them to be sold at a lower price point.

Is it less expensive to buy an engagement ring or have one made?

Oftentimes, it’s less expensive to buy a premade engagement ring rather than have one made. However, at AUORNIA, we have plenty of affordable engagement rings that can be customized to fit your dream specifications without breaking the bank. A custom ring can also help bring costs down by choosing more affordable metals, designs, and diamond alternatives.

Where can I buy affordable engagement rings?

When you buy affordable engagement rings from AURONIA, you can have the peace of mind that every treasure is handmade by artists with the highest quality materials and designs. The lower pricing is due to our business model of delivering rings directly from the manufacturer to the customer, allowing us to cut costs but never quality.
