You know you’ve found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with and all that remains now is to pop the question and in Beyonce’s words, put a ring on it!
Well, we hate to break it to you, but though all of the above sounds easy enough to fit into one sentence, it rarely is. Gathering the courage to ask, setting up the big day and most importantly, picking out the perfect ring, all require much thought and planning. One of the most important things you’ll have to plan for and factor in, much ahead, is your budget.

Thankfully, today, many brands offer rings that cater to a wide range of budgets. To find out where you can get the best engagement rings on a budget, read on!
Finding the Best Engagement Rings on a Budget
Angara
One of the leading jewelry brands online, Angara was voted the No.1 ‘online jewelry brand’ by American magazine Newsweek. Angara leaves customers spoilt for choice—you have over 40 gemstones, 18 designs, 14 gemstone shapes, 6 metals and carat weight ranging from 0.1 to over 3 to pick from.
Each ring is custom made upon order, so you know that your ring is being specially made for you, based on your size, total carat weight, gemstone quality and metal preferences. You can get a beautiful diamond ring for as little as $89!
Additionally, Angara lets you pay in installments; the best part is that these installments are free of interest and additional fees!
Kobelli Rings
Los-Angeles-based ‘Kobelli Rings’ sells some pretty gorgeous engagement rings and while these are significantly more expensive than Angara’s, the designs and quality make the price tag seem justified. You can pick from around 18 gemstones, over 10 designs and stone shapes and between gold (10, 14 and 18k) and platinum.
Kobelli’s diamond engagement rings start at $179 (their flexible black diamond ring). We also love their petite diamond promise ring selling at $269, while their three-stone diamond-and-sapphire ring at $252 is a steal! Like Angara, Kobelli also lets you pay in as many as 4 interest-free installments (the number and amount vary with each ring).
Super Jewelers
Super Jewelers was already known for its super-reasonable prices, but when it further offers as much as 35% off on rings in its clearance sale, you know you’re getting one of the sweetest deals out there!
Super Jewelers sells diamond bridal sets for as little as $69 and $99; they offer coupons and deals that further bring the price down by $10. You can pay via installments for your purchase with Paypal Credit; if you pay the entire amount within 6 months, you won’t be charged interest on the payments. Rings are available in gold and silver and a range of gemstone shapes, colors, quality and design.
Rockford Collection Rings
It’s a pity that New-York-based Rockford Rings caters only to men; their designs are downright futuristically gorgeous! However, ensure that your budget is on the higher side if you do choose Rockford. Their most affordable rings fall between $1,000 and $2,000.
The cheapest ring is the North Star at $1,510 and you can pay for the ring in installments; you can choose between 6, 12 and 18-month plans (the interest rates vary depending on the plan chosen).
The Bottom Line
You don’t have to shell out a bomb to land a decent engagement ring; you can spend as little as $20 and land a ring that looks like a million bucks!
The job only gets easier with our four recommended brands in the picture, so go on with one of these and save yourself a world of stress while getting the best engagement rings on a budget.
