Tips are there to be used so make the most of them. They will guide you through the process of buying a ring and make the process stress free.
I have some rules about choosing an engagement ring that I will give you.
Golden Rule # 1, Make sure you know the likes and dislikes of your intended. You may find that they prefer coloured gemstones rather than diamonds. So find out in casual conversation what they prefer. The tried and true basis for finding out another person's tastes is just to make a casual comment when looking at magazines, a friend's jewellery, or browsing shopping malls or showrooms with your loved one. Notice their reaction to different pieces so you can find something they love. Remember, an engagement ring is a symbol of your love and devotion so a lot of thought and consideration should go into the selection.
No matter what style of ring you select you should ensure that it is well crafted and of good quality. You can obtain a valuation of the ring in order to satisfy you as to the value but you should also note the carat of the stones, the color and the cut and the clarity and the type of metal used in the band. Buy the best quality stones that you can afford.
Golden Rule # 3, the ring will be worn each day by your beloved so it should suit her fashion sense as well as being comfortable. Don't choose a ring that is so outlandish that it could look dated in a few years.
Another tip that you can use is to look at a number of different styles and types of rings before making your choice. Often you will find that you will see something that you like that is in a showcase. You may also find that you see something similar to what your vision of the ideal engagement ring is. If that is the case, then it is just a matter of discussing the concept with a specialist jewellery designer who can transform your concept to a stunning piece of jewellery.
Jewellery stores generally have well trained and knowledgeable staff. They are able to provide information about the materials used in the jewellery that they are showcasing as well as pointing out tips on what the current trends and styles are. Their advice is invaluable in helping the shopper making a selection to suit their budget and vision.
Follow these golden rules to choose an engagement ring that is sure to please and you should find the selection process a breeze.
