How to save more money on diamond ring?

Hi Andrew

For diamond rings, I suggest you look online for good quality and affordable diamonds. Personally I would suggest avoiding the usual retail store as their prices are marked up significantly. This is due to the fact that they have to pay for rental, manpower and etc. For diamonds I suggest you can check out Luxiee (Based in SG, import from overseas; this allow you to verify the diamond certificate no. - my partner got my diamond here and set it somewhere else at a local retail store), Blue Nile Diamond, James Allen. These shops prices are very competitive. Some can even be compared to lab grown. However do note that as a general guideline, once u exceed 1 carat the price of the diamond will increase significantly. 0.9 is much cheaper than 1 carat.

Ps: To ensure your partner likes the ring you can try shopping for rings together to find out the preferred diamond size and setting.

Hey Jeffrey,

I have zero experience with diamond rings so.... I can't be of much help here... 🤣

But what I can do is share with you this other question that has seven answers and quite a lot of useful ones:

• Does anyone have advice on wedding ring budgeting?

Hope this helps! Congrats and all the best!! 🥳
