Tips for Buying the Perfect Engagement Ring

Committing to spend eternity with the love of your life is a moment marked with celebration, love, and a gorgeous ring. And while the celebration lasts for a while, the ring is for life and attracts attention regularly. 

Buying an engagement ring is tricky. With countless options and jewelers at your disposal, choosing the perfect one is a difficult task. But worry not! We have you covered with the below-mentioned tips.

Know your partner

Before you even begin thinking about it, remember that the engagement ring is for your partner. You must know your partner’s preferences and personal tastes when it comes to jewelry. What do their other rings look like? Do they prefer minimalist jewelry or heavy ones? Would they prefer a diamond, platinum, gold, or any other gemstones? Knowing your partner (and a little recon of their jewelry drawer) will help you zero in on the perfect ring for the occasion.

Know the Right Size

Apart from knowing the right style, you should also note the size of the ring. A perfect ring needs to be of the correct size. A smaller or larger ring is quite a headache because you will have to get it resized often. That may let you down if you want the ring on their hand immediately after getting engaged. Plus, a poorly fitted ring might damper your celebrations as well. 

So take one of their existent rings and get one that is similarly sized.

Know your budget

People often tend to buy high priced rings and find themselves in a financial mess later. Your partner might love a more expensive gemstone, but it’s no good if it is a financial worry for you. Also, remember that you will be spending pretty heavily on the wedding too.

Keeping all that in mind, when you go shopping, tell the jeweler your budget in advance. That way, you will look at only the rings in your budget, and in the end, choose a ring much quicker. 

Diamond grading report

If you are keen on a diamond ring, here’s something you should know. Every diamond comes with a diamond grading report. It is essential to look at that report before purchasing the ring. A diamond grading report is a certificate of its purity and quality. Within your budget, you should always look for the diamond having the highest quality.

A diamond grading report is also an effective way to compare multiple diamonds. While you might be confused about which diamond to choose, a grading report can rescue you. Trusting a grading report will also help you stay from the traps of the over-enthusiastic seller.

Do your research

You are not a gemstone expert, but if you do your research, you won’t have to be. You should know the best cuts and styles available. Plus, you can always experiment with metals  or alternative rings, too. You must research the best available options in the market to have an idea. 

Moreover, the more you research, the better you can understand what you are buying. Researching will provide you with the knowledge that can save you from getting misguided. You need not be an expert, but having some basic understanding will help.

Follow the 4C’s

Color, Carat, Clarity, and Cut. As you start your journey to buy a ring, these are your best friends. You should know about all of them.

Knowing which color to choose for your partner is essential. A good color enhances the appeal of the ring and instantly lifts it up. You should observe which metal color will be better for your partner and choose accordingly. Also, if you have the budget, do not shy away from looking at colored diamonds. 

You must know the purity of the diamond you are aiming for. The more carat, the higher the quality. However, more carat also means higher prices. You should balance your budget with quality to get the best diamond. 

The cut of a diamond determines its shine. More number of cuts means a shining ring. You should aim for the maximum cut diamond to get the best ring.

The clarity of cutting is also essential. However, sometimes, unintended cutting mistakes occur, which reduce the diamond’s brilliance. To avoid this issue, you should opt for a diamond that has high clarity.

  1. Thanks for the reminder that finding a trustworthy jeweler first would be important when planning to shop for engagement rings. My best friend is planning to propose to his boyfriend soon so he is asking me to help choose a ring to buy. I think that something simple will work for the both of them since they are both minimalist when it comes to their fashion sense.
