Best place to buy an engagement ring in Denver area?

The jewerly exchange in highlands ranch will be your best bet for a diamond. They're pretty much no BS you tell them what you have to spend and they show you what you can get.

+1, I also have had good luck at Westminster Shane CO.

I believe I got my wife's wedding ring at Shane Co in Westminster as well. I saved a lot of money by only buying one ring. I didn't like how all the wedding rings looked the same, so I bought a fashion ring instead. It has a smaller band, so the diamond looks bigger as well. A lot of women are hung up on having both rings though. Good luck either way.

Not a very good selection but great prices at Sam's and Costco.

I had the opposite experience at that location.
Pushed us over budget, then tried to talk us into a credit card. (I told them up front I didnt want their card, they said they could extend layaway).
When we left, I immediately got a phone call begging us to come back, changing their story. We felt slighted at that point, never returned.

I will even lend you a pipe cutter.
Pocket cash you saved and buy gunz n ammo.

That's ~a size nine - what are you suggesting?

And just a reminder for the OP....

Two months salary is the rule of thumb.

I stayed under that but my wife's ring was still about $5,000.

& don't go into debt buying it - that's a terrible way to start off your new life together.

Another +1 for Shane Co. Specifically the one off Arapahoe in Centennial.

I've bought quite a few pieces from them over the years, including my wife's wedding/engagement rings. They don't work on commission, yet they're all super friendly and helpful. The girl who helped me with the engagement ring spent three hours with me, happily sorting through diamonds to find the right one. I really like their warranty as well: they'll clean and inspect the jewelry for free, and tighten up anything that's loose whenever you want to bring it by. As long as you bring it in at least twice a year for inspection, if you lose a stone they will replace it for free. I just went in there today and bought something shiny for the wife's birthday.

Have heard people swear by costco
