7 Things To Know Before Choosing An Engagement Ring

7 Things To Know Before Choosing An Engagement Ring

An engagement ring represents a significant point in a relationship as a man and woman transition toward marriage, so choosing rings is a decision every couple needs to get completely right. However, it could also be overwhelming, particularly if it’s your first time buying one.

Considerations In Choosing The Ring

Picking engagement rings is an important milestone to look forward to, so here’s a rundown of items to note before getting one:

  1. Four C’s

The ‘four C’s’ is a terminology coming up frequently while exploring engagement rings as they’re used to classify and value diamonds. It includes:

  • Cut: A rating system for the quality of a ring, which has an impact on how it catches and reflects light.
  • Color: A term used to describe the shade of a diamond.
  • Clarity: A measurement of a diamond’s internal and external flawlessness.
  • Carat: A unit of weight indicating the size of a diamond.

These criteria are worth understanding since they tell you the characteristics of a ring as well as its value. You can also choose a colored diamond if you think your partner would prefer it. And you have the option of choosing from various types of cuts to find the perfect diamond. For instance, round cuts, oval cuts, and princess cuts are on trend at present. You can find a variety of diamond rings with various cuts and a selection of other high-end engagement rings throughout the renowned jeweler web stores.

  1. Metal Options

You have a plethora of choices when it comes to selecting the metal for an engagement ring. While yellow gold is common, many people believe white gold is more durable. Meanwhile,
rose gold, a kind of gold combined with copper producing a pinkish color, is sturdier than both.

If your budget allows for it, a platinum band might be worth considering since it’s tougher than gold and is hypoallergenic. However, it must be polished often to protect its luster.

  1. Stone Doesn’t Have To Be Diamond

While diamonds are the most used gemstone in engagement rings, they’re just one of the many options. A sapphire engagement ring might be a good alternative, as sapphires are believed to represent virtue, faithfulness and sincerity, all important qualities in a marriage. Other beautiful stones such as emerald or ruby might be a more affordable choice.

Understanding your fiancé’s taste and what they want regarding longevity is essential in picking the right stone. Also, it’s important to consider not all stones are as tough as diamonds, and this is a crucial factor when selecting a stone.

7 Things To Know Before Choosing An Engagement Ring

  1. Don’t Assume The Ring Size

Imagine this scenario: you’re on your knees and you’re asking the big question. Your partner said yes, and you embrace. However, when you slip the ring over their finger, you realize it doesn’t fit beyond the knuckle.

It’s a typical blunder, and it’s not something to be taken lightly. If you’re the person who spends months preparing the ideal proposal, it helps if you pay attention to every element.

Ring sizing has no set of rules. It’s somewhat subjective and it relies on the form of the wearer’s fingers—where they choose to place their bands and what the diameter of the band is.

You can find a ring for your partner and bring it to jewelry experts, so they can help you find the perfect size.

  1. Order In Advance

Unless you’re purchasing a prearranged engagement ring, the jewelry maker might require some time to make a custom one for you. So if you intend to propose on a certain date, reserve your ring ahead of time.

The basic rule is to allot six weeks ahead, which allows you more than enough leeway. However, you should check with the jewelry store to estimate how long it’d take to finish the ring.

  1. Know Your Budget

Generally, people recommended you invest the sum of three months’ pay on the ring, but there’s no such thing as an appropriate amount to spend. The basic rule of thumb is to just buy what you can afford. Furthermore, budgeting is a serious matter, so assess the financial situation thoroughly rather than adhering to recommendations.

  1. Warranty Versus Insurance

People sometimes confuse warranty with insurance, but the two are distinct. In particular, warranties cover you from production errors and normal deterioration of your ring while insurance may safeguard you from situations like robbery or loss.

The best way to insure your ring is to contact your insurance provider and ask them to include it as a floater to your other insurance. This would drive up the amount of your policy, but the added sense of security will be good enough to justify it.

Take Your Time

Choosing an engagement ring is a unique experience worth savoring and obsessing about for as long as possible. Count yourself fortunate if you find the best on your trip to the jewelry store.

If not, don’t stress yourself. If you’ve established a target date for yourself, adjust it until you found the right one. Remember, there’s a perfect ring for every finger. Consider the tips mentioned here to guide you in choosing.
