Save Over $700 On This Timeless Ring
This timeless vintage combination features the retailer's 14k white-gold Graduated Milgrain Diamond Engagement setting embellished with 10 petite diamonds (0.1-ctw average). In the center you'll find a lab-grown, 1.5-ctw round diamond.
Verlas

This bestselling design from Verlas includes a 0.15-ctw Responsible Jewellery Council-certified diamond set among 55 smaller diamonds. You can choose between 14 and 18k white, yellow or rose gold for the band—but keep in mind that opting for more premium metal will increase the price. You can also select a larger diamond (up to 2 carats) if you’re willing to spend more.
Quince
Quince offers a selection of both natural and lab-grown diamonds, with prices starting at $1,000. Its natural options are all ethically sourced, and both varieties come in a range of shapes and settings.
This Emerald-Cut Option Is Only $1,100
According to Quince, this 1 carat emerald cut ring would typically set you back upwards of $2,600, but the retailer has it prices at just $1,100 for either a yellow or white gold band. If you prefer platinum, that price rises to $1,200.
Helzberg Diamonds
This retailer has been designing rings since 1915—so you know they’re delivering on quality and customer experience. Use code YES10 to save 10% on engagement rings that are $2,999 or more. You can also use code CELEBRATE to take $300 off purchases of $1,999 or more.
A Sparkling Oval Option For $300 Off
This pretty ring contains a 1-ctw, oval-cut and lab-grown diamond that’s nested atop a 14k white gold band. It’s an elegant piece that’s nicely discounted at $300 off. If you prefer a more streamlined princess cut, this one is on sale for a steep $1,700 off.
Fred Meyer Jewelers
Fred Meyer Jewelers has been around since the 1970s, and offers a robust catalogue of fine jewelry—including popular engagement ring styles. For a limited time, you can save up to 35% on already discounted items with code SALE.
Zales
When it comes to engagement rings, Zales is a household name. The retailer carries thousands styles that can be customized to your preferences. You can save up to 30% on select engagement styles right now or check out its clearance section to shop styles for up to 50% off (plus an extra 15% off certain clearance items).
A Stunning Vera Wang Ring For $1,200 Off
Princess-cut engagement rings are extremely popular, so you can’t go wrong with this 1-ctw diamond style. The band is made of 14k white gold and lined with two rows of bold lab-grown diamonds. The best part: It’s currently available for 30% off.
Etsy
If you want a wide selection of unique styles and vintage options (and you don’t mind digging a bit), Etsy is the place to go. Just keep in mind that you might not be able to verify where the diamonds were sourced.
Save $650 On This Sparkling Minimalist Ring
This stunning ring is made of a 2-ctw lab-grown diamond set in a 14k white, yellow or rose gold band of your choice. The seller is a Star Seller on Etsy, meaning they’ve accrued consistent five-star reviews, ship their items on time and offer excellent customer service.
Kay Jewelers
Much like Zales, Kay Jewelers is another household name in the jewelry industry thanks to its 100+ years in the business. And, while you can almost always find a Kay Jewelers showroom near you, its online shop has rare deals on coveted engagement rings.
This Eye-Catching Ring Is 60% Off
For those who love all that glitters, check out this eye-catching engagement ring while it's over half off. The piece's diamond-encrusted, 18k white gold band complements the shine of its centerpiece: a glamorous 0.5-ctw oval-shaped diamond.
