Answer 1

To be honest, those rings are gaudy and look like they only cost $50. I think you can find something lovelier and of better quality at a reputable jeweler like Littman's or Kay's or JBR.  You don't have to spend a lot, but you'll at least get gold and a quality diamond.  At Littman's you can get a 1/4 round cut solitaire diamond in a yellow gold setting for less than $300.  Paying $50 for an engagement ring, something you should plan to wear the rest of your life, isn't saving money, it's being a cheapskate (just in terms of quality and longevity of the ring - it's an investment - not in terms of what it means).  That site would be okay for a promise or pre-engagement ring, but go someplace that's a real jeweler for the engagement ring.  When you talk to them, just tell them that your budget is limited and you can't go above, say $300 right now.  They can help you choose something you love and which will last.  Most jewelers also have payment plans.

Consider also that just because you can't afford a $1000 doesn't mean you can't upgrade someday.  My mother had a 1/4 carat engagement ring for 30 years, and then for the 30th anniversary my dad got it reset into a three stone anniversary ring.  If you don't have the stone reset someday, you could always get a new anniversary band or upgrade to a larger stone when you can afford it, and keep your original engagement ring to pass down to a daughter or granddaughter someday.

Answer 2

You better off trying one of the more reputable online jewelers like http://www.jamesallen.com or http://www.bluenile.com. They both have very good prices and quality rings.

Answer 3

Yeah, its Sterling silver, that doesn't cost much, u may be able to go to your local mall and save even more, silver is cheap.

Answer 4

i really wouldn't suggest it, because the cheaper you go, the lower the quality gets. i would say to go to a normal jewelry store and find something reasonable. congrats =D

Answer 5

If you want poor quality that is going to turn your finger green, sure go right ahead.

Answer 6

As long as you are aware that they are not real, then its perfect.  Congrats
