The Do’s And Don’ts Of Shopping For Engagement Rings

The Do's And Don'ts Of Shopping For Engagement Rings

When a person proposes, the fiancé is given an engagement ring. Anthropologists claim that this custom evolved from a Roman custom in which wives wore rings attached to small keys, suggesting possession of their husbands. 

The betrothal ritual, an engagement or vow symbolic of the Middle Ages, has reappeared over several generations. In history, cavemen attached some grass to their women’s legs or the necks of their female companions. In modern times, people use gold and diamond rings to propose to their partners. 

Engagement and wedding rings carry numerous meanings that are often sentimental. These rings can be passed down from generation to generation.  

However, choosing the right ring for your partner shouldn’t be a stressful experience. Here are the do’s and don’ts to guide you in buying the perfect cut of engagement ring: 

 Do’s Of Purchasing An Engagement Ring

1. Consider Your Partner’s Taste And Preference

It’s important to consider your partner’s style. Take a look at the jewelry your partner owns. Does your partner wear plain, bold, or understated jewelry, or flashy ones? You should never disregard your partner’s preferences in buying them an item as symbolic as an engagement ring.  

You may also want to get some hints from your partner to know how their preferred engagement rings would look like in one of your casual conversations. Ultimately, you need to infer the perfect engagement ring to purchase from your partner’s style or personality. 

2. Set Your Budget For An Engagement Ring 

Remember, you don’t have to spend too much on buying a unique engagement ring. You still have to look for perfect wedding rings for you and your partner. You wouldn’t want to exhaust all your savings on an engagement ring. Try to stick to your budget and stay within your means. 

You may want to purchase rings at jewelers so you’ll know the exact value of each gem you’re considering to purchase. You can also ask your jeweler for advice regarding the value of a specific gem.  

Suppose you’re buying a diamond engagement ring. In that case, it’s always advisable to buy certified loose diamonds because the certificate ensures the gem’s authenticity. 

3. Consider The Four C’s

Know the value of the diamond engagement ring. Assess the worth of the diamond. Know the four Cs: carat, color, clarity, and cut. You should remember this because there are different price ranges for each of these diamond qualities and they can significantly affect the purchase price. 

Choosing the right settings for the stone is also an important factor to consider when buying a diamond engagement ring. A ring has two main parts—the head and the body. The head is molded in different ways to hold the diamond in place. This is what we call a stone setting, and this process influences the appearance of the diamond ring.

Don'ts Of Purchasing An Engagement Ring

Don’ts Of Purchasing An Engagement Ring

1. Buying The First Ring You See

Don’t be tempted to purchase an engagement ring the first time you visit the jewelry store. Try to compare prices with other jewelers to get a good grasp of the best deals out there.   

Also, don’t purchase an engagement ring for the sole reason that it’s cheaper than a diamond. There are many reasonably priced gemstones out there that can be transformed into the most beautiful ring. 

Engagement rings are usually made with palladium band, platinum, or gold. Platinum is more costly, but it looks quite similar to white gold. While gold shine brighter, but the platinum ring is more durable. You have to weigh the pros and cons to choose the best one for your proposal.

2. Disregarding The Ring Size

You should consider your partner’s ring size when choosing a ring band. This is one of the most crucial considerations since it’s difficult to imagine ruining a magical moment just because of a poorly fitted engagement ring. 

Moreover, you may even end up buying something unsuitable for your partner. If you can’t get the right size, you may also fail to choose the right style and design. 

Because, unlike shoes and clothes, rings are difficult to exchange if they don’t fit. Although the ring can be resized to accommodate a better fit, getting the right ring size for your fiancé can make your proposal even more flawless.  

Final Thoughts

Engagement is an extraordinary event in any person’s life. It symbolizes promise, loyalty, unity, love, and commitment. Additionally, the event represents the beginning of a new journey, which is marriage.  

Don’t settle for any engagement ring. You’ll be able to choose the best one if you know all the do’s and don’ts of shopping for an engagement ring. Remember, an engagement ring will always be a part of you and your partner’s life—might as well get a perfect one.
