Absolutely do not buy a "fake" engagement ring.
Before my fiance and I picked out my current engagement ring, I had a "fake" engagement ring as a placeholder. Yes, it served the purpose in letting others know that I was engaged. However, there is absolutely nothing that can compare to the brilliance of a diamond. Everyone will know that your engagement ring is "fake." And if you get a "fake" engagement ring, what happens when you choose to replace it? Personally, it felt like I was living a lie when I had a "fake" engagement ring.
To find a ring that is both beautiful and low-cost, you really have to do some research. First of all, avoid jewelry stores. Engagement rings are automatically overpriced. Secondly, the internet is your friend. Lastly, and most importantly, buy the diamond and the ring separately. Search the internet for "loose diamonds", "semi-mounts", and "ring settings." You'll be amazed at what you come up with.
My fiance spent $1500 on my engagement ring in the end. He bought a beautiful wedding set semi-mount pictured here:

At the time, however, it was $200. Additionally, he purchased an amazing 1.47 carat H-VVS2 round diamond. Research the 4 c's very carefully before you buy. Additionally, after you purchase both the diamond and the semi-mount, take it immediately to a jeweler. The jeweler can appraise the diamond (to ensure that you actually got what you paid for over the internet), and, obviously, the jewelery must place the diamond into the semi-mount. This is all done for a very nominal fee.
Additionally, it is perfectly fine to help your boyfriend find a ring! Women wear jewelry more than men, so we tend to know more about jewelry than men. Try talking to the common man about the 4 c's. I speak from personal experience when I say that men truly appreciate a woman's help. It take a lot of the pressure off! And when the woman helps, he can buy the best ring possible for the cheapest price possible with her help. Obviously, if the man truly loves her, he would want to buy her both the best ring possible as well as the perfect ring for her. The woman has to live with it forever- she should get some input!

Promise rings at the instant are not comparable to engagement rings. A promise ring is a hoop promising to stay authentic to a minimum of one yet another. there remains no promise of marrying with a promise ring. An engagement ring is a hoop that symbolized that the two people conform to get married and plan a marriage interior the close to destiny

If you go to a gemstone supplier and purchase the diamond through them you will save a lot of money!! The band is relatively cheap and the process of setting the diamond is also a minimal cost. This is the best way to get the best quality ring and the lowest price!

Hello,
There are so many good sources. People are so much concerned about this. Engagement rings are really important for everyone to collect the originals. I have collected the originals from here.

Mybridalring.com!
It is a family ran business and they have a lot of experience in the jewelry world. They have amazing deals and gorgeous rings! Since they are family ran, they have amazing prices! They aren't looking to make a ton of money like the big name companys so they are very fair to you in the pricing. I would definitely check them out! (This answer is for anyone else who i coming across this question!)

Or when you google "Fake diamond" (lol) their page will come up pretty easily. Yes, they are synthetic gems, but they are pretty. Unlike some synthetic gems, the jewelry is still of a high quality. (real gold) Maybe you can look at it as a values-statement: You want something pretty, but who needs to spend thousands on a symbol? The point of a symbol is what is behind it: the love.

Let your bf choose the ring, whatever it is he can afford. Ever heard of the symbolism of the engagement ring? The cost and kind don't matter a whit to a mature woman. If you want some serious bling, buy yourself a dressy ring and pay through the nose for it. But give the guy his due and his pride, and let him buy the engagement ring.

ebay, craigslist, Costco, Sam's Club. Is there a jewelery district somewhere near you? My diamond was already 75 years old when I had it set. It's a beauty too. But then, we went to downtown LA for it. Good luck
