Engagement Rings $500 to $2,500

Engagement rings in the entry price range, where careful choices make a large difference to how the finished ring looks. Everything in this collection is a complete ring, not a mounting.

Getting the most from this budget

Prioritise cut over everything else. A well cut smaller diamond will look brighter and livelier than a larger stone with a mediocre cut, and cut is the one grade you genuinely see. Relaxing colour to the near colourless range and clarity to eye clean saves considerably without a visible difference.

Styles that stretch the budget

Halo settings make the centre read noticeably larger. Pavé bands add sparkle across the ring for very little carat weight. Lab grown centre stones give the largest size increase for the same spend. Any of these can move a ring up a visual class without moving the price.
