By Dave G Thompson


Buying an engagement ring is surely one of the most fundamental purchases you ever make. Sure you will probably go on to buy things that are significantly more expensive, but an engagement rings signifies so much. For the sake of both you and your fianc, it is important to get the most out of your purchase.

It is certainly true that many folks have to watch what they spend, but that doesn't mean that finding high quality diamond rings online is impossible. In fact, you will no doubt soon discover that buying engagement rings online is a cheaper option.

If you haven't already compared prices, then you really need to set about doing that. You might be surprised by just how expensive diamonds are nowadays. While you will no doubt be able to find a store that offers discounts on their range of diamond rings, the quality of the diamonds used in the designs might be considerable. A diamond that is sort of dull is not a good quality stone. Even imperfections are likely to be quite visible. Naturally you don't want to give your sweetheart a poor quality ring when you propose!

The mark-up on diamonds is to be expected when you consider the fact that dealers have to cover their own costs while also making a profit. They have to pay for overhead and sundry other expenses, which all translates into higher prices for you, the customer. This is why it is good sense to shop online whenever you are in the market for a good quality diamond ring at an affordable price.

Online dealers don't have those expenses to think about. Because of that, they can provide goods at cheaper prices. In fact, you might find that you can save as much as 20% on diamond rings when you shop online.

If you are at the stage whereby you have made up your mind about actually purchasing the ring, then you probably know how much you can afford to spend. If you have not done so yet, you should visit some local stores to see just how much they charge for the ring you would like to buy for your sweetheart. In doing so, you can compare the prices to those you'll find online.

As with most things, not all online stores are the same. Some online stores are better than others. Look for sites that are listed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Choose a retailer that offers guarantees and various other perks, such as free shipping, insurance against loss or damage, resizing, and so on. Once again, be sure to compare by checking out a number of sites, as this will help you to not only find the ring you want, but also to find the best price as well.
