Cheap Wedding Rings: 5 Tips For Finding the Perfect Inexpensive Wedding Ring

Finding cheap wedding rings can seem like a daunting task. Here's the truth - there are ALOT of inexpensive wedding rings available to you. And with the cost of pretty much everything rising thank goodness for that!

Shopping smart is the best thing you can do when searching for the perfect inexpensive wedding bands. Below are 5 simple tips that will help you do that.

{1} Purchase your wedding bands as a set

In addition to knowing where to shop for wedding rings, purchasing wedding ring sets are one of the simplest ways to save.

All of the things below will affect the price (metal, gems), but if purchased separately they're more expensive. Like everything else that is purchased in groups (or bulk) the price just automatically goes down.

{2} Buy from a reputable discount distributor

This is one of the most obvious places to start. No matter what style you’re looking for, you can get it at a discount. Here's what I like about some of my favorite online suppliers for wedding rings.

Gemvara: I'm not sure if Gemvara is the cheapest discount supplier online, but they have SO many styles to choose from and I LOVE their website search functions. It's so easy to look at rings in the metal you want, the style you want, AND the gems that you want. It's just a pleasant site to browse and I LOVE the styles the have!

Apples of Gold: This site focuses on more simple wedding bands. They have embellished wedding bands as well as bands with diamonds but they're not over the top with huge diamonds. They do have rings at a variety of price points, but they're focus is on quality and value, not necessarily size or fanciness.

Diamond Me: If your'e all about the diamonds this is the place to go. All of their rings are discounted 50% and more! ALL of their designs include diamonds. Rings start as low as $250! Just talked to a bride who purchased her rings from them and she was SUPER please. She saved over 50%!

{3} Pick your metal carefully

Who says your wedding rings need to be platinum or even white gold? 7 or 8 years ago a white gold band was actually cheap. Today, the price has soared to new heights! So if you still can't find an affordable wedding ring in platinum or even white gold opt for something else - silver, yellow gold, titanium, tungsten, and palladium are all good options.

{4} Diamonds AREN'T everything

Sure, diamonds are touted as being the brides best friend. BUT, they aren't our only friends! And, they certainly are not your wallets best friend!

Everything from rubies to emeralds, and even pearls make gorgeous options for a wedding ring.

{5} Style is Everything!

If the quality of the metal or gem is really important go for something a little but more simple.

Depending on the metal that you choose, a simple wedding band without any embellishments is probably the most obvious style for cheap wedding rings.

In fact, it was only about 10 or 20 years ago that fancy and super expensive rings became the norm. Until then, even the more affluent were happy with a simple gold band.

Other inexpensive wedding ring styles that are a bit more 'symbolic' include the Victorian wedding ring, and the Celtic Knot and Claddagh design. These designs are popular enough for wedding bands you can find them in a variety of metals and price points. And the Victorian bands especially can be found at auctions everywhere.
