Each gemstone is hand-selected for brilliance and clarity, responsibly sourced from trusted partners.

Every setting is checked, polished and finished by hand before it ships.
What's in the Aquamarise Sale Right Now
The Aquamarise sale is a rotating selection of engagement rings, gemstone rings, wedding bands and ring sets drawn from the permanent catalog and reduced for a defined period. Everything on this page returns to standard pricing afterwards, and everything stays in production — which is the important distinction between this page and our clearance.
Pieces enter the sale for ordinary reasons: to give a slower-moving stone some visibility, to make a strong seller easier to reach, or simply because a seasonal promotion is running. What does not happen is a quality distinction. A ring in the sale is the same ring, from the same production run, in the same metal, as the one that was full price last month and will be full price again.
Discounts are applied directly to each piece rather than through a code at checkout, so what you see on the product page is what you pay. There is nothing to enter and nothing to remember.
Affordable Engagement Rings That Aren't Cheap Engagement Rings
There is a real difference between an affordable engagement ring and a cheap one, and it is easy to see once you know what to look for. Cheap rings are usually built from plated base metal, hollow shanks, and glued or pressure-set stones. They photograph well and fail within a year — the plating wears through at the palm side of the band, the base metal underneath oxidizes, and that is where the persistent myth about rings turning skin green comes from.
Affordable, done properly, means removing cost from the places that do not affect longevity. Our sale rings are solid 925 sterling silver — 92.5% silver alloyed with 7.5% copper throughout, so there is no surface layer to wear through — or gold vermeil meeting the FTC's 2.5-micron minimum over a sterling base. The savings come from using moissanite, lab-grown and natural colored stones rather than mined diamond, and from selling directly rather than through a jeweler's markup.
That is the honest version of affordable. If you want the full comparison between the alternatives and a traditional diamond solitaire, our guide to non-traditional engagement rings lays it out properly.
Sale Rings by Gemstone: Moss Agate, Moonstone and Beyond
The sale tends to be gemstone-heavy, which is where most of the value sits. Moss agate — green dendritic inclusions suspended in translucent chalcedony, no two alike — appears in kite, hexagon and vintage settings; at Mohs 6.5–7 it handles daily wear with reasonable care. Moonstone brings the adularescence that gives it that inner blue drift, and carries more folklore than almost any stone we sell.
Aquamarine and morganite cover the cool and warm ends of the beryl family. Alexandrite gives you genuine color change between light sources. White and blue sapphire, at Mohs 9, are the toughest options on the page and the closest thing to a diamond substitute in wearability. Herkimer diamond — double-terminated quartz — turns up in the salt-and-pepper and raw-stone settings.
Worth reading alongside: aquamarine vs diamond, moonstone meaning, and the best metal for a moss agate ring. The permanent ranges live at gemstone rings, moss agate jewelry, moonstone jewelry and aquamarine rings.
Sterling Silver and Vermeil: What the Sale Price Actually Buys
Most of the sale is solid 925 sterling silver, and it is worth being clear about what that means, because the word "silver" gets used loosely across the industry. Solid sterling is an alloy all the way through. It cannot wear through to a different metal, because there is no different metal. It tarnishes — all silver does, that is a surface reaction with sulfur in the air — and it polishes back. It does not turn skin green.
Yellow gold vermeil and rose gold vermeil cover the warmer half of the page. Vermeil is a legally defined term in the US: at least 2.5 microns of 10K or higher gold over a sterling base, which is a materially different product from ordinary gold plating over brass. Black ruthenium appears in the darker settings — a platinum-group metal that produces a true gunmetal finish rather than a coating that reads as painted.
If you want the metal question settled permanently rather than seasonally, solid gold engagement rings and solid gold wedding bands are the answer, and they sit outside the sale.
Worth knowing: sale pricing is applied to the piece itself. No code, no minimum order, no expiry timer on your cart.
Sale Returns, Sizing and Support — Unchanged
Buying from the sale changes the price and nothing else. Sale pieces are covered by the same returns and exchanges terms as full-price orders, remain eligible for resizing under our standard policy, and receive the same aftercare support. Nothing here is sold as final sale, and nothing is excluded from our normal service because it was discounted.
This matters more than it sounds. A great deal of jewelry discounting across the industry comes bundled with restrictions — final sale, no exchanges, no adjustments — which quietly transfers the risk of a sizing mistake onto the buyer. We do not do that, because a ring that does not fit is not a sale, it is a return waiting to happen.
For upkeep once it arrives, how to clean jewelry at home covers safe methods for silver, vermeil and set stones, and cleaning a moss agate ring covers the softer stones specifically.
How to Shop the Sale Without Missing Your Size
Sale stock is finite even though the designs are not. A piece can sell out of your size for the duration of the promotion and reappear at standard price afterwards, so if you have found the right ring in the right size, that is the moment. Knowing your size before you browse is the single most useful thing you can do — it turns a long shortlist into a short one immediately.
If you are buying for a proposal and cannot measure discreetly, err toward a design that stays in the permanent catalog so adjustments remain simple later. And if you are shopping as a pair rather than alone, matching couples' rings and our guide to the best matching rings for couples are the better starting point than browsing the sale piece by piece.

Sale FAQs
Do I need a discount code to get the sale price?
No. Sale pricing is applied directly to each piece, so the price shown on the product page is the price you pay. There is no code to enter at checkout.
Are sale items final sale?
No. Sale purchases follow the same returns and exchange terms as full-price orders and remain eligible for resizing under our standard policy. Buying from this page does not reduce your options afterwards.
Is the jewelry in the sale lower quality?
No. It is identical stock from the same production runs — solid 925 sterling silver, or vermeil meeting the 2.5-micron FTC standard. Compare against engagement rings for women at standard pricing to see it directly.
What's the difference between the sale and clearance?
Sale pieces stay in the catalog and return to standard pricing later, so you can reorder or match them. Jewelry clearance holds discontinued designs that will never be restocked.
Are affordable engagement rings worth buying?
Yes, provided the savings come from stone choice and direct selling rather than from plated base metal or hollow construction. Solid sterling and true vermeil hold up over years; plated brass does not. Our alternative engagement ring guide covers the trade-offs.
Will sterling silver turn my skin green?
No. Solid 925 sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper alloyed throughout, and green skin is associated with low-quality plated or fake metals rather than genuine sterling, vermeil or black ruthenium.
What is gold vermeil, exactly?
In the US it is a legally defined standard: at least 2.5 microns of 10K or higher gold over a sterling silver base. That is materially different from gold plating over brass. The full range is at yellow gold vermeil and rose gold rings.
Is moissanite a good choice for an engagement ring?
Yes. Moissanite sits at 9.25 on the Mohs scale and has a higher refractive index than diamond, which is why it throws more fire. See moissanite engagement rings and moissanite meaning.
Which sale gemstone is toughest for everyday wear?
Sapphire, at Mohs 9. Moissanite follows at 9.25 among the created stones, then quartz and Herkimer diamond at 7, with moss agate and onyx around 6.5–7. Alexandrite vs sapphire compares the two most-asked-about options.
Do you have sale pieces for men?
Yes, though the selection is smaller. Men's rings and wedding bands holds the permanent range, and black rings covers the darker finishes.
Can I buy a promise ring from the sale?
Yes. Many sale pieces work as promise rings — see promise rings and promise ring meaning for how the symbolism differs from an engagement ring.
How long does the sale run?
Sale periods are defined and finite, and stock in individual sizes runs out before the promotion ends more often than not. If a piece is available in your size, that is the reliable moment to buy.
