The age of the Internet is the age of convenience, great deals, and coupon codes. Yes, it can seem scary buying your wedding bands online, but if you do your homework first, you could actually save yourself a ton of bread.

The bottom line is that you should NEVER pay full price for your wedding rings. If you’re wondering how to save money on your wedding rings, here’s how (without the risk):

1. Do some on-the-ground recon. Go shopping with your FI. Find out what you each like, what your ring sizes are, etc. Get educated about comfort fit, karat weight, everything. Ask for style numbers and write them down (very important)!

2. Choose a reputable online seller. Once you know what you want, go online to find it. Make sure you choose a seller who has a returns policy (at least 30 days) so you can return anything you don’t like. Give yourself lots of lead time before the wedding so you can get your rings and exchange them if necessary until you get it right. Don’t get any engraving done till you’re sure.

3. Haggle! You’ve got to haggle when you’re souvenir shopping in the Caribbean and you’ve got to do it in jewelry stores, too (both online and physical locations). Get quotes from various sellers and then send those quotes around and see if anyone is willing to beat their competitors’ prices.

4. Use coupons. There are toooooons of coupon codes for online jewelry stores. You can often save 10% or more. You may also get an exclusive discount code just for signing up for a newsletter with an online jeweler.

When all else fails, use this rule of thumb: NEVER PAY FULL PRICE for your wedding jewelry. People want your business; it’s as simple as that. Most sellers will happily bend over backwards to get your money, so ask for lower prices and don’t be surprised when you get them!
