2. Buy Online or In Store?
There are two places you can buy an engagement ring. You’ve got the choice of brick-and-mortar stores or the internet. Check out both, and rate them against each other. And yes, it’s safe to buy online, and some websites even have a ‘Design Your Ring’ section. However, never commit to buying a stone without seeing it first.
Trawl the brick and mortar jewelers in your town/city, and view lots of different diamonds. Once you’ve figured out a configuration that you like, you can order a near identical version online. It’s possible to get a cheaper quote when you search online, then if you feel like bartering you can take the cheaper quote into a jewelry store and see if they will split you a lower deal.
