Your guide to shopping for an engagement ring

There is much more than putting aside a couple of months’ salary when it comes to shopping for an engagement ring! You will have to get a complete training on how to buy an engagement ring. The first step is to figure out your budget, and know how much you are willing to spend on this ring. Be realistic while setting the budget limit.

Next you need to do some research. Remember you will be buying it for your loved one, so think about her likes and preferences. For this, you need to know the answer to a few questions, like: Is she the traditional type or the modern type? Does she preference jewelry pieces that make a bold statement, or is she likely to fall in love with something elegant and feminine?

Once you have the answer to all these questions, the next thing is the size. When it comes to a ring’s size, don’t just guess. In order to get the right size, you may have to act like a detective. You can always trick her into telling you her ring size, or you can even try to secretly measure her size by stealing one of her rings. This will take the guesswork out of the entire procedure.

Pay attention as to what kind of jewelry she likes. If your fiancé is already wearing a ring, see what type it is. Pay close attention whenever there are any discussions going on about diamond rings.

If you are finding it hard to narrow down the choices, seek help from her friends or relatives. They can help you with the ring size, and can also help you to decide, which ring she is likely to instantly fall in love with.

After this, you need to select the band type. It is the circular metal part that covers the finer. The band can be gold, platinum, silver or a combination of multiple metals. Choose a band that would fit her finger like a dream.

Do a good research about the type of common settings and gemstones. Setting is the part in which the stone is embedded. Gemstones come in various shapes such as round, rectangular, etc. Learn about the concept of 4Cs which includes clarity, cut, color and carat of the stone.

To buy designer engagement  rings, you need to find a good and reliable jewelry store. Yes we know that when it comes to shopping for diamonds, the general notion is that the more expensive, the better quality. But expensive doesn’t always mean the best. 

So search for a store that offers a wide variety of engagement rings, at reasonable prices.
