So you and your girlfriend have been together for a while, and it’s starting to seem like the right time to take the next step: the proposal! While there are many different things to consider before popping the question, buying the right engagement ring has to be top of the list. The prospect of buying an engagement ring might seem perplexing, and slightly intimidating, yet with a little guidance you will find the perfect engagement ring for your fiancée.
Engagement rings have evolved over time, so here are a few things to keep in mind.
Diamonds or Gemstones
You do not need to become an expert in diamonds or gemstones in order to confidently purchase a quality stone. When buying diamonds online, you only need to learn the basics. For diamonds, this simply involves studying the Four C's - the Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat – and you should also check its official grading, to confirm its quality. A gemstone, on the other hand, has other key characteristics, such as hardness, refractive index, luminescence and specific gravity. A gemologist can explain the durability of a specific gemstone to help you determine whether it is suited for the jewelry design you have in mind. You can also learn about the rarity and symbolism of a specific gemstone to give an added significance and beauty to the story behind your unique engagement ring. Emerald rings, for example, are particularly popular because they are associated with romance, good luck and health, as well as having a uniquely beautiful color.
Ring Size and Style
When creating your own ring, you will need to know your fiancée’s ring size – rather than making a guess, try tracing around one of her current rings, so you can show the tracing to our team of craftsmen. You could also show our team some digital photographs of her current jewelry pieces to convey a sense of her personal style and taste. This inside knowledge will help both you and the jeweler decide on the important elements of styling the ring, such as the shape of the stone and the type of setting.
Go Simple and Elegant
If the entire process of selecting a setting and design is too overwhelming, choose a simple and elegant ring design, featuring the best diamond or gemstone within your budget. A simple elegant style will highlight the natural beauty of the spectacular stone. Give your fiancé the opportunity to adjust any aspect of the band or setting after the proposal.
