Yes, you could spend hours, days, or months scouring the depths of the internet and maybe find the engagement ring you’re looking for. Who has time for that?

And before you panic about prices, Melissa’s designs are surprisingly affordable. Melissa Tyson Designs saves by using mined diamonds from Misfit Diamonds, that other brands would discard because of so-called “imperfections” that are actually added character. Have you ever heard of Salt and Pepper diamonds? They’re incredible and some of the most unique stones we’ve ever seen! They also use recycled materials and lab-grown diamonds and pass those savings on to their customers. She prides herself on creating unique engagement rings for every budget, so if you don’t see a price that works for you listed on their site, reach out for a custom consultation and they’ll do everything within your power to make your ring work within your budget.

"Although the risk of sounding corny is high, I must say, this ring belongs in a storybook. Truly elegant design around the fitting. It came out better than I could’ve possibly imagined." -Nick M

how it works

interesting affordable engagement rings

First, you select your center stone from thousands of ethically sourced options: Salt and Pepper diamonds, Misfit Diamonds, Canadian diamonds, Sapphires, and antique diamonds. Then they recycle the gold for your ring and make it to order. After that, their expert craftsmen create the ring of your dreams from scratch! Sometimes Melissa herself plays a hand in bringing your ring to life. She is the lead designer and goldsmith! “Creating jewelry has always been my passion, I love creating little treasures of joy for people to wear on their hands, and getting to be a part of such a milestone moment in your life!”, she explained.

In addition to their custom work, they have a stunning collection of rings that are ready to order. Our favorite has to be the “Josephine”. It’s an elongated hexagon moissanite and it gives major Bridgerton vibes. In fact, so many of Melissa Tyson’s designs read vintage in a delicate and timeless way.

"Melissa and team knocked out of the park for my lady’s ring. The overall process was simple and straightforward, the staff was professional and prompt, Melissa herself is lovely to work with.

So thankful for this company and their help in crafting a one-of-a-kind ring for my one-of-a-kind lady." -Kameron E.
