The Right Metal
Let’s cut to the chase. It’s always better to go with gold and silver because other metals are not hard enough to hold on to the diamond. Silver is a soft metal and there is a chance that over time your diamond will come loose off your silver ring mount and fall off! This would be a disaster, right? So, the best thing would be to get a stronger metal setting like gold or platinum. You can also go for white gold, but try and avoid any other metal.

The Brightest Gemstones
Who said only diamonds are a girl’s best friends? We also love emeralds, pearls and jade and so many other gemstones! And if you are not a diamond girl, (though research points out that more than 67% of women would love to have diamonds in their engagement ring) you can choose from a plethora of other precious stones like: turquoise, amethysts, etc. However, when it comes to durability, diamonds cannot be beaten!

The Right Setting
Now that we have covered the two important parts of affordable engagement rings, we can’t forget the most crucial part either. This is the setting of the ring, or the part of how the stone would be displayed on the ring. The setting will also determine how protected your stone will be. For instance, a simple band setting is a low maintenance one and the prongs settings are delicate because they would be holding the rock with claw-like things.

These require regular cleaning because of the spaces between them. Similarly, the bezel setting is also preferred a lot because it provides a lot of protection to the stones.
