Shape- Every shape (or cut) is priced differently—and each has a different price per carat with round cuts being the most expensive compared to pear and marquis. Learn more about engagement ring cuts and have one (or two) favorites in mind.
Selecting a Metal for Band- You need to consider your lifestyle and budget before deciding if metal choice is an important part of your decision. Engagement rings usually are made from yellow gold, white gold, silver, or platinum with platinum costing significantly more despite silver and platinum looking almost the same. It’s pricier because it has more weight to it.
Carat Size- Choosing a less common carat size can help you save money. It’s advisable to purchase a diamond that is just shy of common weights like .50, 1, 1.5, etc., and you'll save money and no one will be able to tell it's a .92 carat instead of a 1 carat.
