An engagement is the binding of two souls in the name of love. Engagement is an event which commemorates the promise the couple makes to each other to get married soon. This promise is materialized in the form of putting a ring on each other. The significance of an engagement ring is to show the world that you are committed and soon to be married to someone. Buying a ring for your fiancé is a tough task because not only does it cost a fortune but it is also a lifetime ring. Most people do not change their engagement ring after they get married, therefore, the ring must be the right size and shape. An engagement ring is usually a white gold band topped with a diamond. However, some couples choose precious colored stones to make their engagement ring unique and one of a kind. Because of the use of precious stones and gold, the prices of engagement rings have rocketed. When talking about prices of such rings, sky is the limit. However, I have made a list of the five most popular engagement rings which will not dent your wallet.
1. Round Diamond Engagement Ring
There are various different types of cuts of diamonds which can be set in engagement rings. The least expensive type of cut is round. Therefore, if you are looking for a ring which is affordable yet popular, you should get a ring which has the diamond cut in a round shape. Also, to lower the price a bit more and save some money, you should use 14 karat gold or sterling silver instead of platinum for the ring.

2. Solitaire Round-Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
One of the most popular types of engagement rings is the solitaire round cut diamond ring. This ring has a single diamond set on the ring which reeks of simplicity and elegance. A way to save money on this type of ring is to get a smaller size of diamond. You should consider getting a half carat diamond instead of a larger sized diamond.

3. Square Halo Engagement Ring
You can purchase a square halo ring for your girlfriend because not only is it in high demand but is also less expensive than other rings. This ring gives the illusion of having a lot of diamonds but in reality there are a lot of very small sized diamonds surrounding a larger central diamond. The illusion created by this ring leads others to think that the ring is more expensive than it actually is.

4. Princess-Cut Ruby Engagement Ring
This type of ring is very affordable because instead of using a diamond, you can get a ruby set in the ring. The ruby, however, should be in the form of princess-cut to make it look like an engagement ring.

5. Three Stone Engagement Ring
In this type of ring, you can have small sized three diamonds set on the ring instead of one large diamond. This will give the ring a fuller appearance and make the ring look pricier than it actually is.
I hope this list has helped you guide you towards the right direction to buy a ring which is not only pretty but also affordable. If you have any suggestions or questions, please comment below and I will get in touch with you as soon as possible and also contact my sites flowersnext.com.
