Most guys think that you have to spend 2 Months Salary<\/a> on a Diamond Engagement Ring. <\/p>\n

\nMost guys think that you must buy her a big Diamond<\/strong>, like a 3\/4 Carat (75 points) or a One Carat Diamond (1.00).<\/p>\n

\nThe Industry pushes large Diamonds, and why not, we all want Diamond sales. But, Large Diamonds are NOT Cheap! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nLittle does the consumer know that the average Diamond Engagement Ring is not that large<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nIn fact, the average Carat Weight of an Engagement Ring is only 38 Points<\/strong> (.38 Carat – 3\/8 Carat).<\/p>\n

\"Average<\/p>\n

\nUpgrades can always happen later in life when you’re rich and famous<\/strong>, but for now, why change the statistics? Why spend more money than you should?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYou can get a great Diamond quality on a beautiful Engagement Ring for Dirt Cheap… So to Speak!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Price Ranges<\/h2>\n

\nThe price ranges for 38 Point Diamonds start as low as $500 (I Clarity), and even if you went all the way to the top (IF Clarity, D Color), you would still be around $1,500.<\/p>\n

That’s COOL!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIt’s much more affordable than an $8,000 Diamond<\/a>! <\/p>\n

\nSo it’s simple. Start small and work your way up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nTake a look at these Diamond Deals from James Allen<\/a> below. They begin with Low Quality<\/strong> and go all the way to “Excellent<\/strong>“!<\/p>\n

.38, IF, D, EXCELLENT, GIA<\/strong><\/td>\n$1,540<\/strong><\/td>\nVIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nAlso note that ALL of the Diamonds listed above are Fluorescent FREE!<\/strong> No Diamond Fluorescence<\/a> at all (which I highly recommend<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nSo as you can see, you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg. You just have to be smart about your purchase and be sensible.<\/p>\n

\nLater on in life, if you want to splurge, do so. But don’t break the bank if you don’t have to.<\/p>\n

\nAfter all, marriage is all about love and 2 people sharing their lives together, it’s not about the size of the rock!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Setting the Stone<\/h2>\n

\nSetting the Diamond into an affordable mounting is just as easy. For as little as $400, you can have it set in a Standard 18k White Gold Mounting<\/a> (Tiffany Style Ring<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\nSo taking a Good Quality Diamond listed above (SI1, G) and putting it into a Classic Setting will only set you back around $1,100.<\/p>\n

\nNow that’s a great deal!<\/strong> See image below…<\/p>\n

\n\"Average<\/a><\/p>\n

Step Up<\/h2>\n

\nIf you find 3\/8 Carat a little too small… Step up into a Half Carat Diamond. Just expect the price to jump!<\/strong> But, at least the size difference will be quite noticeable!<\/p>\n
