Is it Okay to Buy an Engagement Ring from a Cheap Jewelry Store?

Cheap jewelry might not be something you mind buying and wearing for basic use, but when it comes to special occasions and important pieces of jewelry, you could be wondering if you are supposed to spend more. For example, even if you're on a tight budget, you could be wondering if there is something wrong with looking for a cheap engagement ring for the love of your life. Luckily, it's more than okay to buy an affordable engagement ring, especially if you know where to shop so you can purchase a nice ring for a lower price. If you're looking for a great place to start shopping, visit us at Hilltop Pawn Shop & Jewelry in Virginia Beach!


What's the Best Cheap Jewelry Store for Buying an Engagement Ring?

When walking into a mall jewelry store, you might quickly notice that even the more modest rings have high price tags. This could leave you thinking that in order to stick within an affordable price point, you will need to make certain sacrifices. You could be thinking about buying a sterling silver ring instead of a yellow gold, rose gold, or white gold ring, or you could be looking at lab-grown diamonds and other alternative stones instead of the high-quality jewelry that you might have had in mind in the first place.


Luckily, you don't actually have to do any of this in order to find affordable pieces of luxury jewelry that fit within your price range. All you have to do is know where to shop for the best jewelry at an accessible price point.

​How Much Are You Supposed to Spend on an Engagement Ring?

So, just how much are you supposed to spend on an engagement ring? Don't go by outdated advice that tells you that you must save up several months' worth of your salary to buy a ring. This is unnecessarily and prohibitively expensive for many couples. Instead, consider the type of ring you're hoping to buy and the budget that you're comfortably working with. When you visit us, let us know your budget for an engagement or wedding ring...and we'll make you the best deal. We work with people with very slim budgets on up to those who are able to spend a little more, and we'd love to help you find your top pick ring without busting your budget.


Tips & Tricks for Buying a Cheaper Engagement Ring in Virginia Beach

There are a few different ways to buy the best quality ring for the best price. The first is obviously to shop at a pawn and jewelry store like ours, where prices are cheaper. However, sometimes, making a few simple choices can help you save money. A 14K gold ring will be cheaper than an 18K gold ring if they are otherwise comparable, for example. Choosing a smaller diamond with a halo or double halo can help you get the big and "blingy" look you're hoping for at a lower price than if you chose a ring with a bigger center stone. The good news is that we have a variety of different styles for you to choose from, so come in and see what we have in your price range!
