Five on Friday March 27

Happy Happy Friday! Today we are featuring five of our favorite engagement rings under $2,000. One of the questions we get often is, "If you could give me one piece of advice when engagement ring shopping, what would it be?" & our answer is always "Don't spend out of your comfort zone!" There is no need to stretch your wallet beyond what you are comfortable with financially. There are so many rings all different price points, and the awesome collection below is a testament to that! The most common myth about engagement rings is that a person should spend three months salary on the ring. Sure, that might work for some people, but for the majority of Americans, spending 1/4 of their salary on an engagement ring can be a serious burden. One of the (many many many!) reasons we love vintage engagement rings so much is that you can get a really unique, one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly reflects your lady's style at an affordable price. The only standard there should be for how much to spend on a ring is how much you are comfortable spending personally. Nobody knows your financial situation better than you do!
