Value

At Luxuria jewelry we pride ourselves on offering extremely high value for money engagement rings.  Such is the quality of our LUX hallmarked diamond simulant engagement rings that they have sometimes fooled jewelers into thinking they were the real McCoy!

Fancy a US$100 ring that looks like its worth US$10,000?    That’s the value proposition of rings from Luxuria Diamonds.   Luxuria® skilfully uses precious metals and materials to deliver affordable engagement rings.

The value of our diamond simulant rings however goes much deeper than a typical US$100 investment for a ring that looks like it’s worth US$10,000 as in the case of our 2.04 ct. D’Promesso round cut diamond simulant engagement ring set.

Read below three reasons why Luxuria jewelry represents such outstanding value for money.

Three ways Luxuria jewelry represents great value for money

 1.    We skilfully use precious metals and materials to offer affordable rings

Value for money is not about offering products of the lowest price.   Very cheap engagement rings are obviously a compromise.  The manufacturer is able to offer very low prices because the quality of materials used to manufacture the ring are also very low.  Rings that sell for a few bucks don’t use precious metals like silver or gold.  Furthermore, instead of using high quality synthetic gemstones or diamond simulants, very low priced rings will use glass, crystal or low grade CZ. Such simulants won’t sparkle for long!

LUX hallmarked silver rings from Luxuria Jewelry always precious rhodium plating.   Rhodium is a rare, silver-white hard metal in the platinum family on the periodic table.  It’s highly reflective and holds the distinction of being one of the most expensive precious metals in the world.  Rhodium increases shine, luster and durability and looks a lot like white gold.  Rhodium plating will also make the metal more scratch resistant and less prone to tarnishing.

However, the perhaps the biggest upside to expensive rhodium plating is it’s completely nickel free, making it hypoallergenic.  Nickel content in Jewellery can cause harm through allergic contact dermatitis.  Nickel allergy signs and symptoms include, rash or bumps on the skin, itching, which may be severe, redness or changes in skin color or dry patches of skin that may resemble a burn.  The expensive rhodium plating on Luxuria jewelry helps protect from such allergies.

Value for money is not about offering products of the lowest price.   It’s about skilfully producing jewelry product that looks more expensive than what it really is – and is safe to wear!

2.    We could save you thousands of dollars! 

Sales of affordable engagement rings sometimes referred to as temporary or placeholder rings have sky-rocketed in recent years as more prospective grooms seek to eliminate the risk of buying the wrong genuine diamond engagement ring.     It’s one thing to have buyer’s remorse after spending a few hundred dollars.  But spending several thousand dollars is a different story.

According American Express, Americans typically spent US$5,500 on a one carat engagement ring but “most couples spend over $6000 with 7 percent spending over $10000”.

Sadly, the internet is awash with forums and message boards where women vent their frustration and disappointment over their partner’s choice of diamond engagement ring.  The statistics say it all.  72% of women say they wouldn’t trust their partner to choose their engagement ring.  So, don’t try and beat the odds.  Reduce risk.  Buy wisely because diamond rings can lose 50% of their value just by leaving the Jewellery store.  Save money Instead.  Buy her a temporary engagement ring from Luxuria jewelry and then after she say’s YES, shop for the real deal together.

3.    We present your ring beautifully

According to the Dotcom’s 2015 eCommerce Packaging Study, Unwrapping the Customer Experience, nearly 40% of consumers feel that premium packaging is important for luxury goods.  The message is simple – don’t under estimate the importance of ring packaging.  The box is the first thing that your fiancée will see when you hand over the ring.  It will tell of the quality and craftsmanship of the ring within the box and add (or unfortunately subtract) from the overall Wow factor.  The problem is that many cubic zirconia engagement rings come with cheap box, no box at all, or a no frills drawstring pouch.

The problem is that many online stores offering inexpensive engagement rings come with cheap box, no box at all, or a horrid no frills drawstring pouch.

Luxuria jewelry adds value by accommodating each ring in a premium quality classic leatherette hinged, ring box.  Each matte black leatherette hinged box is embossed with our gold hot stamped Luxuria logo.  White PU leather lines the inside of the box.   A two piece packer box is also provided to protect the actual ring box.   The packer box also features our fine gold art logo.

Other benefits of Luxuria jewelry rings

Luxuria jewelry adds value in other ways too.  For example the Luxuria ring can be retained long after the proposal to be used as a travel ring.  Silver engagement rings make great travel companions as there’s no need for costly insurance or to worry about heartbreaking diamond loss, damage or theft.

Furthermore, in the workplace or when she’s travelling alone a fake engagement ring can help ward off unwanted attention from men.  More often than you realize, after spotting an engagement or wedding ring, men will avoid harassing her because her fiancé or husband might be just around the corner….

All summed we think you’ll agree that Luxuria Jewellery has a strong value proposition for a modest outlay that starts from just US$49.  Shop for your Luxuria jewelry engagement ring now.
