The perfect engagement ring looks different to everyone. Some brides prefer multi-carat stunners, while others choose smaller, subtler iterations. Generally speaking, it all comes down to preference. There's another key element to factor in while diamond shopping: budget. Financial bandwidth varies as much those aforementioned preferences. While you don't necessarily have to sacrifice your engagement ring dreams when the budget is tight, you might, however, have to open your mind to new optionsāand these new options aren't lesser. Whether you choose a lab-made diamond over a natural stone, opt for a lower-carat (but still-sparkly!) diamond, or consider going the gemstone route, there's a way to make sure that your in-budget engagement ring is everything you've ever wanted.
Whether you're a future bride dreaming of the perfect ring or a future groom shopping for his wife-to-be, the following under-$1,000 engagement rings are a cut above the rest. When the time is right, you'll be ready to pop the question with a ring your love will undeniably say yes toāand one that won't break the bank.
