Determining what is “best” for you is the challenge in purchasing a diamond engagement ring. Whatever you look for in a diamond, you can have it say the dazzling shine, or big size or a particular color. Every one of these influences your decision on which type of betrothal ring you decide on.
You may want to start with the setting. This leaves you two main choices. Reputable jewelry stores have beautiful settings you can choose from . These are often classic styles in which manufacturers vary only in the details.
Almost everyone will feel these timeless pieces are excellent choices for their rings. Do you want to have the raised prong setting without much of embellishment? (frequently referred to as a Tiffany style setting) A more stately piece like a three stone setting with a central stone and two side stones is a good setting for a perfect ring.
For more of an original piece must take into account the designers of jewelry, not just jewelry. Friends can give you recommendations, you may also look in the phone book, do an online search, or by visiting high end jewelery stores or craft shows.
A classically trained jeweler is trained in all aspects of jewelry design, as opposed to a repairman or counter person. This person should know everything about metal and how to protect it as most jewelry counter people have no idea about any of this.
Start thinking about a stone once you decide on a setting. Both purchases do not have to be the same. You can combine your family history with your own tastes by using a beautiful old stone from an heirloom in a new setting.
Make sure you look to a reputable jeweler for a new diamond. This is the major pitfall to a novice engagement ring purchaser. How on earth does one ever make a decision on a stone? Do you go for the little stone that has no flaws , the large but with a few flaws, a clear stone but with little fire? How do you make choices on the cut, clarity and carat? Would you be wiser to select a stone that has some color to it? Which is the best overall cut?
A trained , serious jeweler is sought who regularly deals in diamonds. It is advisable to seek an appointment with the jeweler, appraise him that you are a layman to stones and need his guidance, before you actually buy them. Be sure to see lots of choices and ask as many questions as you need.
If he is a skilled jeweler, he will only welcome your approach. Yes, a reputable jeweler will concur with you knowing and adhering to your own established limits. Similar to how you would hire an assessor to look at a building, you give the money for a jeweler to look at a diamond you would buy.
If you don’t have enough money to buy a high quality diamond, a good alternative to consider is either purchasing a low quality diamond at a discount or buying a fake diamond with the intention of replacing the stone with a higher quality diamond when you do have the available funds or inclination.
