Most of you have favorite jewelers in your neighborhood
and some may be shopping for rings for the very first time. When selecting rings, couples sometimes look
for a 3-ring set to match between them. While this is romantic, it may come
with a few concerns. You like diamonds – he does not want them in his ring. You like certain metals or have a metal
reaction (allergy) to gold that is less than 18 carat. You are both very strong
individuals and require different looks. He does not plan to wear a ring. Whichever it is, you may appreciate some of
the tips below.
- You are looking for the 4-C’s when shopping
for diamonds; cut, clarity, color and carat size.
- We see many rings including the birth date
gemstones or her favorite stone in the rings.
- Platinum, Gold, Tungsten, Silver and Wood
appear to be favorites. In some parts of the world Ceramics are used. We
are seeing couples purchase designer rings, vintage rings and those
specifically created by goldsmiths.
- Many couples seek the jewelers who carry
specific companies. Hearts on Fire, Graff, Genisis, Cartier, Tiffany, Verraigo.
- Even stones
graded SI1 -- seven levels below flawless -- can seem perfect to the naked
eye if the diamond is well cut.
There are some amazing cuts available on the market.
- Online shopping for rings might be fun to
review styles, but think about the romantic connection of selecting your
rings together at a local jeweler.
- Saving
Money can be done by: look for less-popular shapes, notably ovals, hearts and
marquise. In jewelry retailers, not purchasing name
brand rings, purchasing only matching bands, use of a cubic zirconia as
the main stone in the engagement ring, purchase from reputable pawn
shops and consider an inherited family ring, plus jewelry wholesalers are
places couples save.
- Should
you purchase ring insurance. Some swear by it. Losing a diamond of any
type can be pricey to replace. So much has to do with your budget and what
you do with your hands.
- Always
ask about the store warranty before purchasing. You should have a 30-day return policy at a reputable
store. Also your credit card or a department store will have a warranty on
purchase.
P.S. He
has surprised you with a ring and you do not care for it. Re-sizing is one
thing, but replacing the look takes a delicate discussion to not hurt his
feelings. This happened to me. He knew I loved hearts and he purchased a heart
shaped diamond. I loved it, but because I type/write so much, I knew it would
be off my hand all too often, and with the chance it might get lost. I
explained my concern, so we went in to see if we could find one that was a
solid piece – both engagement and wedding. It never swings on my hand, and I
always wear it.
