Finding the perfect engagement wedding ring set can be stressful. I went through a journey of cheap mistakes before landing on something I truly loved and would last. Here’s how I upgraded my jewelry game:
My first attempt at finding an engagement wedding ring set involved buying the absolute cheapest options I could find online. I thought I was saving money, but I learned a hard lesson about quality.
My first purchase was super cheap. It lasted maybe a few weeks before it started turning my finger green. The stones looked cloudy, and the metal felt flimsy. It was a total waste of money.
One-star reviews often said things like, "Turned color after one wear!" or "Fell apart immediately." I should have listened!
Verdict: Don't waste your money on super cheap jewelry. It's not worth it in the long run. Check reviews with real buyer photos.
After my disastrous cheap experience, I decided to upgrade slightly. I went for mid-range options that were a bit more expensive, hoping for better quality. The results were... mixed.
I upgraded to something mid-range. It was… okay. The metal was better, and the stones had a bit more sparkle. However, it still didn't feel like something I'd want to wear every day. The plating started wearing off after a few months, revealing a different color underneath.
Three-star reviews often said, "It's okay for the price," or "Looks good at first, but doesn't last."
