If you’re looking at buying an engagement ring or sparkling diamond jewellery piece you may be wondering how to get the best diamond for your money, and we’ve wrapped up all our top tips to help you do just that. With over 15 years of jewellery experience behind us we know a thing or two about diamonds, and all the tips and tricks to make sure you get the best possible diamond for your dollar.


It’s no secret that buying and investing in diamonds can be incredibly overwhelming, and there are many things to look out for that can significantly lower your cost. Firstly, it’s important to always keep in mind the importance of the 4 C’s, and as important as each one is in their own individual right, there’s ways around tweaking certain elements to get that diamond you’ve really got your heart set on.

Opt for Lab-Grown Diamonds instead

The ultimate money-saving tip is opting for a lab grown diamond as opposed to your traditional natural diamond. With lab grown diamonds becoming an increasingly popular choice, there’s often a lot of confusion around the legitimacy of lab grown diamonds and often on their differences to mined diamonds. In short, you physically can’t notice the difference between a lab grown diamond and a natural diamond. Only skilled craftsmen with the correct tools to hand would be able to tell the difference, and this is why choosing a lab grown diamond engagement ring is a great option if you’re looking to save some money. Another option to think about is opting for a gemstone or moissanite engagement ring instead, as these could significantly lower your total price too.

The Importance of Cut

Often confused with shape, a diamonds cut is all about the diamond’s overall symmetry, proportion, and polish. When shopping around for the perfect diamond engagement ring, your cut often determines its quality as the higher the cut, the higher the clarity and a well-cut diamond will look brighter and makes any imperfections a lot less noticeable. When thinking about the 4 C’s, cut is arguably the most important so if you’re looking to save yourself some money, our recommendation is not to compromise here. Keep your cut grade high and adjust other factors like carat or colour instead.

Go for a slightly lower diamond carat

The carat weight you opt for has a massive effect on the price of your diamond, and it’s a common misconception that the carat weight is the most important factor when choosing a diamond. Prioritising the cut grade and overall quality of your diamond is far more important and this handy tip could save you a lot of money when on the search for the perfect diamond. If you’re working on a particular budget, lower your carat and increase your cut grade instead.

Shapeshift your way to the top

Different shaped diamonds can really alter the cost of your purchase, and this is all down to how difficult the specific shape is to cut, alongside the diamond wastage that is produced thereafter. Often the most popular shape our customers go for (and for good reason) are round engagement rings, this is due to the intensified sparkle that bounces off its many facets, however this comes at a cost. If you’re on the fence about what shape to go for, if you opt for an oval engagement ring or something with a softer edge like a cushion or princess cut engagement ring, you can save yourself up to 25-50% less.
