  1. Plan Out Your Budget<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The first step on how to buy a gemstone engagement ring is to plan your budget. For many of our clients, the price of the ring is the biggest limiting factor when making a decision. You should determine: (a) how much you would like to spend, and (b) what is the most money you are willing to spend.<\/strong> Understanding your budget will help you set realistic goals and make the best investment.<\/p>\n

    Sometimes your tastes will change when designing a gemstone engagement ring. Maybe you will want to upgrade the metal from 14k white gold to 18k white gold, or maybe you will want to find a design with more accent stones. It\u2019s always good to have another 10% of your desired budget available for these last minute changes. Some examples of your budget would be:<\/p>\n

      The next step on how to buy a gemstone engagement ring is to figure out what is important to you and your partner: the center stone or the ring design<\/strong>. These are the two main components of your ring. Together they will determine the final cost.<\/p>\n

      –If the center stone is important to you<\/strong>: go to Step 3 and then Step 4. Estimate how much the center will cost and invest the rest in the ring.<\/p>\n

      –If the ring design is important to you<\/strong>: go to Step 4 and then go back to Step 3. Estimate how much the ring will cost and invest the rest in the center stone.<\/p>\n

      –If they are both important or you are not sure<\/strong>: go to Step 3. Estimate the cost of the center stone and ring together to find a combination that works for you. In most cases, the gemstone will affect your budget more than the ring design.<\/p>\n
