An engagement ring is usually the first large purchase that a person will make. It comes with a life long commitment, making it that more important. Having a large or unlimited budget may seem ideal. However most of us find ourselves working within specific price guidelines that makes sense for each individual's financial situation. Let's focus on some affordable Lauren B engagement ring designs at $6000 or less that still maximize the wow factor!
.81 ct Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
A larger single diamond that is of good quality and beauty can become very pricey. A double halo engagement ring design is a great way to get a lot of bang for your buck. The center-stone is under 1 carat but features a beautiful brilliant style cut. Two rows of diamonds around the center will increase the surface area dramatically. The double halo on a 0.80 carat center diamond will give the same surface area look of a 2 carat diamond in a single halo (anywhere from $15,000 and up) or a 3 carat diamond without a halo (anywhere from $30,000 and up).
Keep in mind we create this double halo design for many center-stone shapes. The double halo is certainly a way to get a lot of punch out of your ring while remaining in an affordable engagement ring price point.

If you really want your ring to standout, consider this beautiful semi-precious gemstone Morganite. This gemstone comes in a range of colors from peach to pink and most of the popular shapes that diamonds are cut in. As for price, they are significantly less than the more expensive precious gemstones of sapphire, emerald and ruby. This can allow you to get a large center-stone without breaking the bank. Most of our clients prefer morganites in the 3 to 6 carat size range if they are going to opt for a non-halo design. They look great in many of our exclusive pave designs such as this Signature Wrap ring above. Because of their naturally pinkish hue, many love to pair them with a rose gold setting to help bring out the color even more. This ring here can be had for under $4000 making it another cost effective engagement ring to consider.

It is not a secret that we love moissanites! They have a lot of visual similarities to diamonds and come at a fraction of the cost. While we used this particular ring as an example, many of our beautiful moissanite center-stone engagement rings would also fall within the affordable engagement rings category while making a huge statement. This ring has a radiant cut center with the rough equivalent of a 3.5 carat diamond. The setting itself features three rows of diamonds on that band that make it sparkle from all angles. What more can you ask for from an engagement ring? A large center-stone that is flawless in clarity and has great sparkle as well as a handmade setting that is crafted perfectly to its dimensions; all for under $6000!

Five Stone Wedding Band

The traditional concept for an engagement ring is one large center-stone, however for those willing to stretch the norms, a band is something to consider as well. This ring features large round brilliant cut diamonds that weigh approximately .25 carats each set in a u-shape design. If you want to give it more of an engagement ring feel you can even consider making the stone in the middle slightly larger than the rest to give it more definition. We have a wide variety of five, seven and nine stone rings in different style settings and with different shape center-stones that you can consider. With large diamonds going across your finger, this is another affordable engagement ring design to consider
