The importance of a Cheap Engagement Ring
People have always carried this fascination of adorning themselves with decorative items and stones, to show off their wealth and importance, to look their best, and probably because pretty things make us happy. While we have come a long way from fashioning feather necklaces and stone rings, the allure of decorating ourselves with precious stones and shiny ornaments has not faded away. The charm and attraction of these gemstones have made them the focal point of the wealthiest sections of society for thousands of years now. It's only natural that these treasures become unattainable with their earth-shattering prices, quite literally.
The romanticized notion of jewelry and gemstones, especially diamonds, make for the most sought-out items to gift someone. Unfortunately, the exclusiveness makes them hard to be affordable for most. After saving and cutting-back for months and possibly years, one can buy a lower range diamond engagement ring or a quality-compromised ruby ornament. An alternative to this price-tag issue might seem impossible, but we have found a way to go-around it, so you can finally propose with a budget-friendly, cheap engagement ring! Find the perfect one for you at Pure Gems.
An Affordable Engagement Ring is Modern
How can rings, diamonds, rubies or anything to do with any authentic ‘bling’ be affordable and, at the same time, genuine? Well, what can we say? We are living in modern times. Breaking traditions or rather making new ones, the scientific community has formulated ‘Lab-Created Gemstones.’ Also known as ‘Man-Made or Grown Gemstones,’ these luxury pieces are not mere imitations but are the “real deal.” They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural gems. The only major difference would be that one of them is extracted through laborious processes and then refined, and the other one is designed in laboratories, ready-to-go. There are ideal substitutes to natural stones. Thus, we here at Pure Gems offer sophisticated pieces available to you at reasonable and affordable prices, including a select range of Cheap Engagement Ring offers.
An Engagement Ring can be Cheap but Real
Note that Lab Grown Diamonds, also called Man Made Diamonds, Synthetic Gemstones and Lab-Grown Gemstones are different from Artificial Gemstones which are also called Simulated Gemstones or Diamonds. These are two different varieties available in the market. While both are created in labs, artificial pieces are imitations and do not have the same composition as naturally-mined stones.
Whereas, Lab-Created ones are exact replicas in terms of chemical structures, physicality, materials, etc. To get the near-similarities of a natural gemstone produced by nature after years of subjugation to enormous amounts of pressure, force, and temperature, these earthly-processes have to be replicated inside a controlled environment. Essentially, these complex and eternity-taking phenomenon’s are performed inside a chemical laboratory at a fraction of the time and without the complicated mining factor.
History of the Affordable Engagement Ring
The scientific discoveries, developments, and creations in machines and engineering all have one goal in mind- to make human lives easier. This includes making all products affordable and available for all. And so, since the earliest diamond mines were found in the 4th century B.C. To the first attempt at artificially copying diamonds in a lab in 1879, we have come a long way with the final product that is being sold today. The first inventor to venture out in this field was James Ballantyne Hannay. He tried to synthesise a diamond by heating charcoal and iron in a carbon crucible.
It wasn’t until 1954 that General Electric-an American multinational conglomerate- became the first to create a commercially successful diamond. The diamonds synthesized were nowhere near the white and shimmery lab diamonds used in engagement rings. Rather they were yellowed, opaque, fairly small- quite undesirable appearance-wise. These lower-grade diamonds were used as commercial conductors like in-diamond saws, abrasive powders, lasers, x-ray machines, and audio speakers.
However, they finally managed to create Man-made Diamonds in 1970. General Electric, with its advanced diamond-technology, created the first gem-quality diamond in their lab. From then on, not just diamonds, but even clear, high-quality colored gems replaced natural stones in jewelry, proving to be equally if not more desirable. Pure Gems offers the best stones at minimum prices including- Top Grade Simulated Emerald Gemstones, affordable Lab-Grown Sapphire Rings, Red Ruby Gemstone, and our under $200 Pure Gems Engagement Ring Collections.
Why Choose a Cheap Engagement Ring?
Why go for a lab-made ring? Besides the obvious pocket-saving factor, there are a few more things to consider.
1. They are Sustainable and Environment-Friendly
There is no question that mining and extraction of the Earth to gain access to natural gems is very taxing for our planet and the ecosystem. All mining procedures cause a ton of pollution and affect the local communities at regional and global levels. It causes massive soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, damages water and soil quality with contaminants, etc.
Lab-Created Gemstones are an ecological and sustainable way of avoiding mining complications and damages. They do not involve invasive processes or disturb wildlife. They do not cause pollution or toxic leakages while using only a fraction of the money and resources compared to extracting natural gems.
2. A Cheap Engagement Ring is the Ethical Choice
It is no secret that miners and the mining community as a whole have always been exploited. Unpaid labor or unfair wages are only one of the primary problems. More often than not, companies overseeing the operations skim over the safety precautions and proper working conditions mandated, leading to life-threatening accidents and long-term diseases, including fibrosis, silicosis, etc. Child labor is also common in these areas of work. Man-made gemstones avoid all of these morally questioning collaterals, guaranteeing only ethical and sustainable working conditions with no harm done to workers throughout the whole production.
3. An Affordable Engagement Ring is often Conflict-Free
Gemstones, more particularly diamonds, have been the cause of civil war and rebellions. The term “Blood Diamond” is associated with being a ‘conflicted gem.’ Conflict-free gemstones have not been involved in any way, shape or form in civil wars, rebel groups or terror gangs. They have passed specific certification approving them as conflict-free.
Today, natural gems are mined out from the rocks in Africa, Brazil, Russia, and India, which are still very affected by “conflicts.” Moreover, the definition of ‘conflict’ does not include the environmental consequences and humanitarian aspects extradition courses have. All synthetic gemstones are conflict-free without any ethical issues and disputed property claims.
4. Top-Quality Engagement Rings Cheap but Real
You must be wondering- top-quality and cheap do not go together, especially for engagement rings. They must have compromised quality or are not up to the mark in some way. This is not the case! Apart from being ethical, sustainable, and 100% conflict-free, these modernistic stones are comparable to natural stones in quality and properties. Even experts would have a hard time to differentiate between the two. Pure Gems includes these lab-created stones into their range of designs including engagement rings, necklaces, and earrings. These Pure Gems are superior to natural gems on all the 4Cs- cut, clarity, color, and carat! Superior quality at an affordable and cheaper price- this is no dream. Solidify your love commitment therefore with a modern engagement ring from Pure Gems.
