There is no correct answer to your question. It depends on many factors such as which country you live in, how the diamond trade is doing on the streets, etc. The best thing you can do is try and shop around, both on the internet and in jewelry stores and shops near you. That way you can get a price estimation on a diamond engagement ring and decide what best fits your budget. In general, it appears that internet prices for engagement rings are lower, but that might not always be the case.

Online diamonds are much cheaper! Sure, some online jewelry dealers provide pricey jewelry, but there's no doubt that on the internet there are numerous opportunities for finding a bargain. Online diamond dealers don't pay for maintaining a real b&m store, they usually work with several diamond suppliers and don't have to hold a large supply of diamonds all the time. With such advantages, they can make a nice profit from charging much less than b&m jewelry stores. Give yourself a couple of hours, get to know the best places online for diamond jewelry and engagement rings, enjoy the variety and I'm sure you'll save a lot of money.
