Finding affordable emerald cut diamond engagement rings can be difficult. However, we do have some listings that cost less than $1,000. Realistically, this is about as little as you can expect to spend, if you want a quality stone and setting. Paying much less will only result in you getting an inferior product.

All that being said, there is no point in paying more than you have to for a good quality engagement ring. That's why we try to list as many rings as possible. The more choice you have, the greater the likelihood of you finding that perfect ring for that special someone at a great price.

Knowing a little bit more about emerald cut diamonds can help you to save even more money. The first thing you need to know is that the emerald cut really shows-off a diamond's internal facets and characteristics. This is both good and bad. The good is that you can get an amazing looking ring. The bad is that it is somewhat expensive to do it right.

At any given price level you should sacrifice size for colour and clarity. Unlike other cuts, flaws will be very noticeable if you don't get a good quality diamond. This means you want both a good colour rating and more importantly and good clarity rating. This will really make your diamond shine like it should. A big low quality stone will just look dull.

Another way to get a more affordable emerald cut engagement ring, is to choose a lower priced metal for your setting and ring. All our listings include both diamond and ring so that is the final price you pay. However, some sites and jewelry stores allow you to customize your purchase (almost always a significantly higher price). In these cases you can save money by choosing something other than gold or platinum for your ring.

This can include metals such as sterling silver, stainless steel or even titanium. Just keep in mind that not all women are willing to accept rings made from these other metals, or they may be allergic. So save yourself some hassle now and try to find out how she feels about these alternatives. No point in saving a few bucks today for trouble later on.

Now that you know a bit more, you can feel confident browsing our selection of affordable emerald cut engagement rings. Take your time, this is (hopefully) a once in a lifetime purchase so you want to get it right. Good luck and happy shopping.
