Six Ways To Save A Fortune On Engagement Rings by Shayne McMillan

Six Ways To Save A Fortune On Engagement Rings by Shayne McMillan
Engagement rings can be one of the biggest purchases a buyer will make for his or her partner. Not only is it expensive, but it can be emotionally nerve-racking as well. Couples who are overwhelmed by the task of buying an engagement ring just want to buy the "best" they could see in the jewelry store and get over it, without making wise decisions and thus, regretting the purchase later.
If you are tight on a budget and would like to save on engagement rings but would like to buy a nice one, here are some tips worth considering.
1. Buy a ring which can be upgraded later. You do not have to buy an expensive-looking ring now, if you will be left You can buy the stones of your choice and use your mom' or granny's band, and have the stones set it.
2. If you will buy your wedding ring from the same store, ask if you can have a discount later so you will have savings.
3. Consider using your credit card to charge you for the engagement ring to earn more points that will be converted for your honeymoon trip. 4. How about plain bands? They are less costly than those with stones. 5. Consider using your partner's birth stone as the stone on his/her engagement ring in place of more expensive stones.
6. If you really cannot afford it, buy a zirconium ring first and commit to buy a real engagement ring on your anniversary. It will be all the more cherished with the passing of time.
