Designer Engagement Rings made from Titanium are excellent value for money from Love2Have

Here we offer some advice on buying a cheaper option Diamond Engagement Ring in Titanium as an alternative to a Gold Diamond Set Ring.

You really need a large Diamond for that Engagement Ring

So you have decided to get engaged and now its time to start hunting for the perfect diamond ring to prove your commitment is true. They say diamonds are a girls best friend and when it comes to choosing a diamond engagement ring this couldn’t be more important to get right. In fact the bigger the diamond the better, so its time to check your bank account.

Large Diamonds are very expensive

Diamonds come in all sizes but you should really be looking at a 0.25ct diamond at least when it comes to size. However 0.25ct diamond rings can be expensive...very expensive. A 0.25ct diamond is one of the most popular stones used for diamond engagement rings these days. A diamond of this size is the only serious choice to impress your intended and she may not be very impressed by anything less than this. Unfortunately not everyone can afford such a lavish piece of jewellery. Traditionally a diamond ring is made from 18ct white or yellow gold to house the gorgeous sparkler. The prices of these rings can run into a four figure number quite easily.

To reduce the price of the ring consider a ring made from a non precious metal

At Love2Have we can offer you an alternative, and the diamond used is the real thing. Titanium can make an excellent alternative to 18ct gold when it comes to choosing an expensive diamond ring. It's strong, light and has a lovely finish to it when worked well by professional machinery. On top of this one more trick titanium can offer is that of being able to tension set the stone. It's so tough that the stone is highly unlikely to dislodge under normal everyday wear and tear. When the diamond is set in the titanium its true beauty is revealed when it catches the light held in position by just two of it's edges. A traditional diamond ring is not capable of such a feat as the precious metals used in jewellery are too weak to hold a diamond in a tension set arrangement. The gold simply bends and the diamond falls away. Something your partner may not be at all impressed with.

Titanium makes an excellent choice to set a Diamond in for that Engagement Ring

Another option open to you is zirconium for setting a diamond. You can't tension set zirconium as you can titanium due it not being as strong but it does make a very unusual alternative to the norm and it looks good on men wishing to consider a diamond ring for themselves. There are plenty of male wedding rings to choose from. Finally pricing can be almost 75% less than that of an 18ct gold ring. Reason enough to consider the alternatives we think. Just a look at our tension set diamond rings today. So there you have it an idea for a wedding or engagement ring at a price you can now afford.
