I’m looking for a beautiful ring, but don’t have much money. My girlfriend would like it to have small diamonds down the sides, but a large diamond in the center that doesn’t stick up too far. I am sorry for not knowing technical terms and not being very specific, but I would really appreciate help.
My upper limit is about $1,500 or $2,000, though $2,000 would be pushing it. Thank you so much.
I suggest going for a preset diamond ring. Here’s a collection of settings:
Blue Nile Diamond Preset Engagement Rings
There are couple of princess or round cut diamonds in a pave style setting within 2k.
Let me know which one is your favorite.
Thank you so much! That is a great site with beautiful rings and great prices!! Do you know if it’s possible to get a bridal set with about the same prices and characteristics?
