Is $5,000 enough for an Engagement Ring? Absolutely! $5,000 is about twice the budget needed for an “average” Lab Diamond Engagement Ring and a little more than what you need for an “average” Natural Diamond Engagement Ring.

Examples of Engagement Rings under $5,000

Check out the following gorgeous Engagement Rings with both Lab and Natural Diamonds, well within a $5k budget.

What’s the nicest Lab Diamond Engagement Ring I can create for $5,000?

To max out your budget, we’ll use an IGI Graded Lab Diamond, CVD Type IIA (the purest form). We’ll use a Radiant-shape Diamond as an example, with ideal Table and Depth % for an “Excellent” Cut Grade as defined by the IGI below.

Today, you can create an Engagement Ring with a whopping 4.01 carat, “E” Color and “VS1” Clarity Radiant-cut Lab Diamond, set on our Classic Accented Setting (our most popular Setting) in 14kt White Gold, with an additional 0.25 carats of “E-F” Color and “VVS2-VS1” Clarity Diamonds, for $3,940. That’s including 10% Off on this or any Setting with code PC_DREAMRING at checkout.

Radiant Diamond for an Engagement Ring well under 5000

The only issue you may have getting a Lab Diamond Engagement Ring? Getting too massive of a center Diamond for your budget. If a 4.01 carat Diamond seems too big, consider getting a 2.50 – 3.00 carat Diamond and using the remainder for your Wedding Rings.

What’s the nicest Natural Diamond Engagement Ring I can create for $5,000?

For Natural Diamonds, let’s use a GIA Graded Oval Brilliant Diamond. Again, we’ll make sure Depth and Table % are within IGI’s “Excellent” Cut ranges for max sparkle and no bow tie effect (link to bow tie blog). Today, you can buy a 1.03 carat “J” Color and “VS2” Clarity Oval for $3,410 (financed).

Here again, we’ll use the Classic Accented Setting (our most popular Setting) in 14kt White Gold, with an additional 0.25 carats of matching quality Natural Diamonds. Including the Setting with your 10% Off, this Ring’s $4,535 (financed).
