How to Buy a Cheap Wedding Ring

What do you think of when you think of engagement and wedding rings? Most people think of jewelry that is very expensive. After all, the traditional rule of thumb is that the diamond engagement ring should cost two months' salary. That's great if you have that much to spend. But what can couples who are on a strict budget do? Luckily, there are several ways you can find the perfect cheap wedding ring. An inexpensive ring can be just as beautiful as an expensive one.

One way to find dramatic discounts on engagement and wedding rings is to shop online. While many online retailers may offer rings that cost the same as they do at your local jewelry store, there are places where you can find dramatic discounts on wedding jewelry. Ebay is one such place where you can often find amazing rings at bargain prices. The only thing to remember is always buy from sellers that have an extensive history of positive feedback. You may also want to choose a seller who offers a return policy in case you don't like the ring once you see it in person.

Another way to find inexpensive rings is to head to your local pawn shop. Yes, the rings there are going to be previously owned. But, if you're okay with that, you can find gorgeous jewelry at dramatic discounts. And speaking of pre-owned jewelry, your local newspaper classifieds may also be a good place to look. Many people looking to sell their jewelry often list it there. When shopping for a used ring or rings, the important thing is to choose quality made jewelry that you like. Don't worry about the size -- your local jeweler can resize the ring for a small fee.

There is one more alternative for couples seeking a cheap engagement or wedding ring -- the faux diamond. Today's simulated diamonds are worlds above plain old cubic zirconia. For example, the Diamonique line of simulated diamond jewelry sold by television shopping channel QVC offers consumers the beauty of a real diamond without the high price. These faux diamonds are made in such a way that they will not turn or tarnish, and set in quality metals like yellow and white gold. For example, you can get a beautiful, high quality simulated one carat diamond set in real gold for around $100. A real diamond would cost you at least ten times as much! Choices like these offer every couple, regardless of their financial outlook, a way to afford the sparkling wedding rings they desire.
