The moment of the proposal is approaching. Your heart is pounding. And now — how do you find an engagement ring that looks amazing, is exciting, and doesn't drain your bank account?
The good news: with the right knowledge, you can buy a ring that looks like it costs ten times more. Here are the 5 most practical tips from our jewelry experts at the Ramat Gan Diamond Exchange.
Tip 1: Choose Moissanite instead of a Diamond — Save 80% on the Stone's Price
The biggest secret in the jewelry industry: Moissanite D VVS1 looks identical to a D VVS1 diamond to any eye.
An engagement ring with a 1 carat D VVS1 diamond will cost between ₪20,000 and ₪40,000. The exact same ring with a 1 carat D VVS1 Moissanite? Between ₪800 and ₪1,600. The difference? 20-25 times the price.
With these savings, you can: buy a larger stone, fund the wedding, go on a perfect honeymoon — or all three.
Tip 2: Don't Pay for Carat — Pay for the Cut
One of the biggest myths: "the larger the stone, the more beautiful." This is not true. The cut is king.
Popular cuts for engagement rings: Round Brilliant, Oval, Cushion, Emerald.
Tip 3: 925 Silver 14K Gold Plating — A Setting That Looks Like Solid Gold
Don't pay x10 for a setting that looks identical. 925 sterling silver with professional 14K gold plating looks exactly like solid gold — for many years. 14K solid gold setting: ₪3,000–₪8,000. 925 silver 14K gold plated setting: ₪300–₪700.
Tip 4: Consider Size and Design Before Deciding
A well-known rule: long/thin fingers → any design works. Short fingers → oval/marquise lengthens. Thick fingers → large cuts. Check her/his Pinterest — you'll find out everything.
Tip 5: Buy Directly from the Manufacturer — Not Through Several Intermediaries
Every jeweler who sells in a mall adds 30%-60% to the price. At Ice Diamonds, we manufacture every piece of jewelry ourselves in the Ramat Gan Diamond Exchange, handmade, and sell directly to the end customer.
Bonus: Questions You Must Ask Before Any Purchase
Before buying an engagement ring — ask the seller: (1) What is the stone's grade? (2) Is there a gemological certificate? (3) What is the setting material? (4) What are the warranty conditions? (5) Can the size be changed? If the seller hesitates — move on.
