This engagement ring costs less than $500!💍

People often say an engagement ring should cost 2 months of your salary. When my fiancé and I first discussed about engagement rings, he gave me a budget of $3k and I began the search for my ring.

I knew I didn’t want to wear something too expensive on a daily basis for fear that it would get lost/stolen, so I looked around for more affordable options.

I chanced upon Eclat by Oui , which specialises in diamond simulants, aka gemstones manufactured to look like diamonds. Apart from their beautiful ring designs, their price point was also very appealing🤩

My fiancé was obviously happy to get a cheaper ring for me (to be fair he asked me many times to make sure i was really okay with it) so we went to their store to try the rings and get my ring size. After trying on a few designs, I eventually picked the first one I tried and all I can say is, no regrets😍

Now that I’ve been wearing the ring for about 5 months, I would say it’s definitely worth it imo but here are some pros and cons for you to note if you’re thinking of getting a diamond simulant ring from Eclat.

Pros🙆🏻‍♀️

• Affordable price point

• Looks as good as the real deal

• Available in 3 carat options

• Hypoallergenic

Cons🙅🏻‍♀️

• Doesn’t come with a ring box (but you can always purchase your own)

• Material of the band is 925 sterling silver triply plated with 18k white gold (this may or may not be a con depending on your material preference)

If you’re looking for an engagement ring, will you consider a diamond simulant ring? Let me know in the comments!☺️
