Tips for buying an engagement ring: Plan your budget. Do not be afraid to establish your budget – and stick to it. But being upfront and honest with your goals is the best way to make sure you get the ring you want at the price you want it. There’s nothing worse than looking at a $4,000 diamond when you can only spend $2,000. Our store specialists will respect those guidelines and make sure you’re only seeing what you can afford. But that being said, you don’t have to have all the money saved up on the day of the appointment. At Steve Pronko Jewelers, we offer 5-month payment plans with 30% down as well as additional financing options through the store. Don't know what to look for in an engagement ring?
