Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? - eviltoast

My SO and I discussed that engagement rings shouldn’t be expensive.

What should I look for in good value rings? Lab grown diamonds? Fake diamonds? gold? white gold? silver? platinum?

Also, what kind of cut? Moissante vs Lab grown?

    Just don’t go too big or it will be obvious that it’s not a diamond, because normal folks can’t afford huge diamonds.

    Good point. But as someone who bought a diamond and still regrets it, I hope these younger wiser folks can embrace and normalize avoiding diamonds.

    Anytime I see a wedding ring that’s clearly not a diamond, my respect for that union raises immediately.
