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?

    I got my wife a moissanite and it turned out beautiful.
    She likes big stones so I got her a 2ct oval one which she loved. Didn’t care much for the technicalities - it looks good, suits her style and that’s all that matters.
    And no way you could get a 2ct diamond for 700$.

    A person who won’t appreciate how you choose to express your love isn’t someone you’d want to marry, anyway.
