It is possible to find a ring you love for $500 or under without sacrificing beauty or quality. By shopping for simple designs with few or no side stones, no halo surround and a small center diamond you can stay within your budget.

The Sieva engagement ring with a 0.30 carat round cut diamond and an asymmetrical shank is well under $500. Available in white, yellow or rose gold with a double bonded band the clean design is both stylish and affordable.

Another high-quality engagement ring under $500 is the elegant and uncomplicated Venetian. The handcrafted 0.30 CT diamond solitaire ring is simple yet eye-catching.

Best Metals for Engagement Rings Under $500

The best metals for a ring under $500 are yellow, rose or white gold.  Anything over 14k is typically priced over $500, especially if it comes with pre-set stones. However, there are 14k gold engagement ring options just under $500 or $600, that are just as beautiful.

Best Diamonds for Engagement Rings Under $500

The best diamonds for a budget-friendly engagement ring is a 0.30 CT round stone. The circular shape appears larger than other diamond cuts. Princess cut stones also have a strong presence even in a smaller size.

The modern Delicato ring features a 0.30 CT princess cut diamond set in 14K white, yellow or rose gold. The twisted double band with a crossover infinity style surrounds the 4-pronged square center stone. It is a high fashion design without the steep price tag.

You can buy a large authentic center diamond for under $500, but it is likely to have very low cut, color and clarity grades. This means the stone will not reflect light well, may have some inclusions and a gray or yellow tint. A larger, lower cost diamond may also be less durable.
