I was chatting to Charlie at the Natural Wedding Company the other day. She was asking me if I could advise couples how to make their engagement ring budget stretch a bit further…
These are my “Top Tips”….
1 With gold prices so high at the moment, look at 9ct instead of 18ct – this can make a huge difference.
2 Choose a style that uses less metal – a claw setting or cutaway bezel will be less expensive than a full bezel.
3 Go for a sapphire as your main stone, instead of a diamond. Or choose a style with less stones altogether. You’ll save on both gemstones and the time it takes to set them.
4 Re-use your old jewellery to make something new.
Hope that helps, always happy to chat engagement ring ideas for specific budgets, just get in touch
