When it comes to shopping for engagement rings, there are many things to consider. Among them, her preference and personal style. Beyond that, you will need to look at specific characteristics that go into the overall ring. Below are 7 important factors that you will want to keep in mind as you shop for the perfect band.
Ring design. The way a ring is set, cast and detailed are all part of its design. Most will agree that regardless of cut, clarity, carat weight or even price, the initial impression of a ring will ultimately determine whether or not it is popular. Appearance is the first thing that a customer will notice when shopping for engagement rings, which is why the design is so important. From the height of the setting to the layout of the stone(s), it is essential that you can appreciate the ring�s appearance first and foremost.
Gemstone cut. Traditionally, gemstones are cut as either round, princess, marquise, pear or emerald. The cut of a stone is very much a reflection of the wearer�s personal taste. Some women enjoy the classic round design, while others are drawn more toward the remaining cuts in engagement rings.
Clarity. The term clarity refers to an item�s transparencies. As it relates to gemstones, clarity is extremely important for several reasons. Not only does a gemstone with fewer inclusions offer more sparkle, but it also provides a greater depth as the wearer can literally see into the stone�s color.
Carat weight. The actual weight of a gemstone is measured in carats. Why? Quite simply, because all gemstones, both natural and simulated, are in part defined by their carat weight and it is essential that the customer know the size of the stone in order to determine whether or not the purchase price is acceptable.
Metal. When it comes to engagement rings, the metal content is extremely important. The first question should be whether or not the wearer prefers the white or yellow metal. Next, does she have any known allergies to silver or gold? These are both important factors to consider when choosing a ring. Traditionally, engagement rings are set in sterling silver, gold or platinum. Of these three precious metals, sterling silver is the most affordable and is recognized by its icy white coloration. Gold is available in a variety of colors, including yellow, white, rose, etc. At the top of the pay scale is platinum, which is the most expensive of all precious metals, and is also a possible choice for the woman who prefers a white metal.
Ring size. When shopping for any type of ring, it is important to know the correct ring size. This can either be accomplished simply by asking or by having the wearer accompany you to the jewelry store and having her finger sized. If neither of these options are possible, you can always have the ring resized at a later date if it is designed in a precious metal that your local jeweler can adjust.
Price. Last but not least, the purchase price may ultimately determine whether or not one ring will win out over another. If it�s not in the budget, it�s simply not there. Some rings may be out of the buyer�s price range, while others may simply just not be a good value when all things are considered. Regardless, make sure to consider the price when choosing engagement rings. The best option may be to shop around, compare prices and make an informed decision as to which style best suits your taste and budget.
