Your question is welcome and many people do not understand how many options are there for selecting engagement rings. Often, people can become so entrenched in one way of thinking that it becomes difficult to look outside of the everyday norm.

Although most rings are mundane a thrifty couple can introduce romance and make a new symbol, new choices, and save money to be invested in their new union by choosing a unique set of wedding rings.

Generally, the options may be divided into three basic categories, that is if you plan to have a ring. You could also make a choice of a ring without a stone; one idea is a band that will go well with a wedding band, and then be engraved with words that are important to you, or perhaps embossed with a pattern you like that also coordinates with the wedding band.

You can do an array of different things with the bands and wedding set. You can double the band and mix and match them as you please.   For a dual wedding ring set, you would like something unique to symbolize your love and still manage within your budget so negotiating a price with a jewelry designer may be the answer to your dilemma. 

In case you select a stone, the remaining two selections are to go with some kind of stone or synthetic that appears like diamond, or simply lighting out for the unknown country and locating a stone that suits you perfectly, both as individuals and as a couple.

Cubic zirconium which is heavier and can discolor over time is commonly used as diamond substitute. It remains the single most popular diamond substitute available, it wears well overall, and is beautiful.

Moissanite is a stone that is produced in a laboratory. It is patterned after a crystal located in the center of a meteorite and is an excellent choice, despite costing somewhat more than stones of cubic zirconium. This kind of stone is somewhat harder than a diamond with twice the brilliance. (one thing that adds to its beauty but may lead to discovery by some who prefer the muted fire of a diamond stone), and refracts lightness somewhat differently, directing whatever group to find that it has a sick chromatic color. It is mostly a persons own style which dictates the pros and cons of Moissanite.

Instead of a diamond, the white sapphire has been used for hundreds of years. When compared with a diamond, the white sapphire is less durable and its fire is softer, but because of its ability to be cut like a diamond few will challenge its lovely luster and beauty.

If you want to purchase precious stones other than diamonds or their lookalikes, then there is no limits to your options other than the ones you impose on yourself. Stones such as rubies, sapphires, jade are used a substances because of there strength and hardness. These elements are good to consider because the ring will be worn for a long period of time.

Selecting a color that goes well with many other colors is a good choice. Aside from this, the whole vista of gems is available.  A star sapphire or other carborundum such as ruby? Of course! It is a very elegant alternative to a standard faceted stone. Would you consider a carved jade jewel mounted in solid gold? It will last forever, and jade offers an infinite range of colors.

Engagement rings come in many shapes and styles. This ring is a symbol of the love you have. You may want to start discussing the many choices open to you if either of you thinks that you could spend the money more wisely, or “oh, blah, diamond.”
