When you are purchasing an engagement ring you are probably first very poor. For this reason some woman in advertising somewhere created the diamond anniversary phenomenon; this was so that a husband could after 25 years do the right thing and get his wife a respectable diamond ring. Though to start out, a woman and a man both understand that they are poor. It is for this reason that solitaire rings were created. The solitaire rings show that you really do care and are very interested in having a strong relationship, but that finances are still very tight and let's talk again in 25 years.
All kidding aside solitaire rings and solitaire settings can hold some of the nicest jewels ever. With a simple, no-frills, delicate and well placed solitaire ring you can woo even the most cynical of potential brides. So if you’re low on funds but still excited about being able to get your bride to be something that she’ll always cherish, there are inexpensive solitaire rings that are still beautiful and can give you everything you’re looking for in an engagement ring.
If you’re totally strapped for cash but would like a larger sized stone that’s not really a stone, you can always consider getting a solitaire cubic zirconium ring. Cubic zirconium is a synthesized alternative to the diamond we’d all like to be able to have and afford. Another recently popular alternative to CZ and to the diamond is another synthesized gemstone called moissanite. While to a guy there may seem to be no difference it is this same apathy which is to the female a distinct and very real love for the precious gem which makes observance to her levels of acceptability all that much more important. You are probably even better off just not proposing if you’re going to start your life together off on the wrong foot of not listening to the girl and not respecting her wishes.
Diamond solitaire rings can often be found on clearance from jewelry retailers, typically at the end of their factory year which could be anytime; probably at least twice annually where any particular jewelry retailer will have a clearance sale. While she never needs to know how much you’ve spent on the gem, she can at least be impressed with the fact that you went out there and did what she asked of you. Look for these solitaire rings to go on sale in lock step with everything else at the jewelry store.
