Unique Engagement Rings Settings
When shopping for an engagement ring on a budget, rings with unique designs could be a perfect fit. Larger diamonds are more expensive, so a ring with several smaller diamonds may be exactly what you are looking for! These diamond rings may feature a halo setting or multiple diamonds in the design.
For example, a halo ring is a single diamond encircled by dazzling smaller diamonds. This design creates the appearance of a larger center stone. Multi-stone diamond engagement rings may also feature special details such as filigree and milgrain. By design, these diamond rings are more affordable, but still pack plenty of "Wow!" Factor.

Diamond Ring or Gemstone Ring?
Rather have for a more traditional looking stone as your ring’s centerpiece? White sapphires and lab-grown diamonds are examples of affordable, cost effective, and occasionally lab-created options that are alternatives to traditional diamond rings.
White Sapphires
With a soft, white glowing appearance white sapphires are a popular alternative to the diamond standard. White sapphires come in natural or lab-created varieties, with lab varieties being more reliably clear. They are not as distinctly fiery and brilliant as a diamond but are still a beautiful engagement ring centerpiece.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown, or lab-created, diamonds are just as real as their natural counterparts. They are created by gemologist who have cleverly replicated the natural high heat formation, necessary to produce a diamond, with technology. Since lab-grown diamonds are created, and not a mined resource, they are generally more affordable than natural diamonds—and sparkle with just brilliantly as natural diamonds.
