\"How<\/div>\n

This works!<\/h2>\n

\nIf you have an engagement ring budget<\/strong> (whether it be $3,000 or $10,000), and you want to maximize that money<\/strong> to get the biggest center stone you can…<\/p>\n

\nThere is one simple trick<\/strong> that will assure the largest carat weight possible:<\/p>\n

GO SIMPLE!<\/h2>\n

\nGo with the simplest mounting you can<\/strong>. Meaning, pass up the one carat pave mounting with tons of diamonds down the side, go for a traditional plain band<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n

Compare the prices of mountings below:<\/h2>\n

\n\"The<\/p>\n

See the difference?<\/h2>\n

\nThose prices are for the mounting only. Adding in a center stone will easily add thousands onto that price tag.<\/p>\n

\nGoing simple allows all of your budget to go directly into the center stone. That way, you can get a bigger stone for the same price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Compare the two rings below:<\/h2>\n

\n\"Expensive<\/p>\n

\nThe mounting above holds a 3\/4 carat diamond<\/a> in the center… But you can upgrade to a full carat<\/a>, like below, just by going simple:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Get<\/p>\n

See how that works?<\/h2>\n

\nGo with a simple engagement ring now…<\/strong> That doesn’t mean you have to stay simple forever. You can upgrade the mounting later, or add bling with a wedding ring<\/strong>. Get a diamond band, like pave, channel set, eternity, that will sit flush up against your solitaire mounting and add tons of sparkle and brilliance (and you can buy a matching band<\/strong> for the other side as an upcoming anniversary<\/strong> gift).<\/p>\n

\n\"Get<\/p>\n

\nNo matter how you do it, you end up with the biggest diamond possible for your budget (and bigger center stones hold their value more<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
