In this article, we aim to dispel common misconceptions and offer a fresh perspective on designing the perfect ring for your partner, ensuring you not only convey your love but also stay within your budget.
The outdated notion of spending three months' salary on a ring has created unnecessary anxiety for many. At Unique Diamonds, we've witnessed countless clients realising that true love doesn't come with a hefty price tag. Whether you spend $10,000 or $6,000, the key is designing a ring that resonates with your partner.
In 2023/2024, with the rise of lab-grown diamonds, you can craft an exquisite ring that ticks all the boxes for a fraction of the cost. In fact, 90% of our rings are now lab-grown, showcasing the evolving landscape of engagement ring choices.
The ubiquitous question of ring costs is met with the nuanced response, "it depends." While this might seem elusive, it's a crucial starting point to understand your budget and preferences. Our goal during the initial consultation is not just to sell a ring but to design the best possible one within your budget. Whether it's a $4,000 ring or one with a 2ct round-cut natural diamond, we tailor our offerings to your financial parameters.
