How to Buy an Engagement Ring Online

The diamonds you purchase online are the same quality as those you’d find at a jeweler in your local mall — but can cost up to 40% less. To buy an engagement ring online, you’ll want to find a trustworthy website, take your time, and make sure your diamond passes the eye test, even on a screen.

How much should you spend on an engagement ring?

There’s really no “perfect” amount of money to spend on an engagement or wedding ring. Instead, align with your partner on expectations, either directly or indirectly (through their friends, Pinterest board or social media), focus on a ring with meaning rather than a particular price tag, and make sure you understand your budget and means before you go shopping.

When is the best time to book a flight?

Contrary to long-standing travel myths, there’s no magical day of the week or time for booking a flight. What is true, however, is that there’s an ideal window of one to four months before your departure when flights are likely to be cheaper.
