Smart Shopper Questions

Q: Will guests know my ring was affordable?

Absolutely not. A beautifully crafted engagement ring looks stunning regardless of price. No one will know—or care—what you spent.

Q: Can I upgrade later if my budget increases?

Yes! Our trade-in program lets you upgrade your ring anytime. You'll receive fair credit toward a new piece.

Q: What makes a diamond eye-clean but lower grade?

Lower clarity grades have inclusions only visible under magnification—not with the naked eye. You get identical sparkle at lower cost.

Q: Are moissanite and lab diamonds good alternatives?

Both are excellent. Moissanite is extremely durable and costs 80-90% less. Lab-grown is identical to mined diamonds at 30-40% savings.

Q: Can I finance my affordable ring?

Yes. We offer flexible payment plans and financing options. Spread your $3,000 ring over 12-24 months.
