Cheap Wedding Ring Sets

Cheap wedding ring sets come in many variations and, in the case of non-diamond stones or inexpensive metals, often look just as good as their more expensive counterparts. In many cases, there is creativity involved to find a reasonably priced ring set option. There's much to be said for both shopping on a budget and thinking outside the traditional diamond ring guidelines. You can even choose from inexpensive bridal sets, band sets, and triple sets.

If you open your imagination, you will discover a whole realm of possibilities out there. Here are a few possibilities:

• Cubic zirconia or other diamond look-alikes
• Colored gemstones
• Non-traditional metals

These variations can be found in bridal sets, band sets, and triple sets.

In addition to the more traditional bridal wedding ring sets that we'll discuss in more detail later, there are other combinations to consider:

• Band sets: This includes the wedding bands for both the bride and groom, but not the engagement ring.
• Triple sets: This set includes the engagement ring and the bride and groom bands.

Sometimes the band sets and triple sets can be better deals than purchasing each ring separately. Also, if the engagement ring is intricate, it could be hard to choose a band outside of a set. It's a win-win situation to look for rings you can get at a discount simply because they're already part of a set.

Simple band sets made up entirely of metal (no frills!), like the traditional gold bands, tend to be fairly inexpensive compared to other types of sets. However, you may pay more for a set of gold bands than you would for a triple set made with sterling silver and cubic zirconia. The best choice depends on your priorities and personal style.

Not dead-set on a true diamond? Will you proudly give (or wear) sterling silver jewelry as your wedding set? If so, there are tons of options. You can get cheap wedding ring sets that feature:

• Cubic zirconia
• Diamonique
• Sterling silver

You'll probably have the best luck shopping online for these. Here are a few stores to browse through:

• Eve's Addiction features bridal sets of cubic zirconia and sterling silver.
• Inspired Silver has bridal sets of cubic zirconia and sterling silver.

You might want to consider colored gemstones for one of the following reasons:

• You like your jewelry to be "different."
• You don't really like diamonds.
• You want to commemorate the month in which you got engaged, plan to get married, or you would like to honor someone by choosing his or her birthstone.

Gonna Luv It has several ring sets featuring colored stones on sterling silver settings.

If you're an average Joe or Jane, you probably can't afford a lot of the designer pieces you'd love to have or the celebrity wedding sets you've been ogling in magazine after magazine. Lucky for you, you can shop at Overstock Jeweler and find similar pieces at a fraction of the cost. Keep in mind that these are not genuine diamonds (they're cubic zirconia), nor are they gold or platinum (they're sterling silver). They are, however, beautiful and inexpensive.

Also check out Inspired Silver, mentioned above.
