Where To Get Cheap Engagement Rings

It recently came to light that Kate Middleton's hand-me-down engagement ring is not the most expensive celebrity bling out there (that honour goes to the $8.8 million Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton rock).

Although the Duchess of Cambridge's $45K sapphire-and-diamond ring isn't nearly as pricey as the late Miss. Taylor's, it's definitely too much money for most of us sane people to afford, which is why we should be on the lookout for cheap engagement rings.

Listen up ladies and gents (yes, women can propose too, you know): Cheap doesn't have to mean bad quality. In fact, there are dozens of beautiful engagement rings that have diamonds and sapphires; that come in black, pink and yellow diamonds; that are made of platinum, gold and silver and that are cushion-cut, princess-cut, round-cut and more for less than $500. You just have to know where to look and to educate yourself on the four Cs of engagement rings: Cut, colour, clarity and carat.

So, we did all the dirty work for you and found 10 great sites that have cheap, quality engagement rings so your woman can still look like a princess without making you go bankrupt.
