There are a ton of ways<\/strong> to save money on diamonds.<\/p>\n

\nI should know, after working in the industry for over 30 years<\/strong>, I wrote a book about it; 101 ways to save money on diamonds.<\/a><\/p>\n

\nBut here are the TOP 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Wait for a Sale!<\/h2>\n

\nSeriously!<\/strong> All diamond rings go on sale<\/strong> eventually. And jewelers and dealers often have multiple sales a year. So if you’re not in a rush to propose<\/strong>, then wait, and SAVE<\/strong>. Good times to wait for are Black Friday<\/strong>, Christmas, and Bridal Season<\/strong> (March-May). Just like James Allen did last Thanksgiving<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\n\"Wait<\/p>\n

2) Break the Carat Weight UP!<\/h2>\n

\nInstead of buying a 1.00 carat diamond<\/strong> (single diamond, which is the “dream<\/strong>” carat weight), break it up. Buy 1 carat TOTAL weight instead;<\/strong> meaning, the entire ring; center stone and side stones, total 1.00 carat combined. That saves you money<\/strong>. And the smaller the center stone, the cheaper the ring gets<\/strong>. See the examples below:<\/p>\n

\n\"Break<\/p>\n

\nThis is why Halo Mountings<\/a> are so awesome<\/strong>. That extra circle of diamonds around the center stone makes it look bigger and brighter<\/strong>. I highly recommend them.<\/p>\n

3) Go Fancy!<\/h2>\n

\nFancy cut diamonds are diamonds of every shape<\/strong>, EXCEPT the round. So the princess <\/strong>cut, radiant <\/strong>cut, heart <\/strong>cut, oval <\/strong>cut, pear <\/strong>cut, cushion <\/strong>cut, emerald <\/strong>cut… are all fancy cut diamonds. And all cheaper!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThey are generally 20%-50% cheaper.<\/strong> That’s a lot of savings!<\/p>\n

\n\"Buy<\/p>\n
