Shopping for a Custom Made Engagement Ring is one of
the most important and exciting times for young couples and knowing which ring
and where to buy can be daunting. Some men choose to shop alone in order to
surprise their future fiancé and others include their partner to get help
choosing a ring they are sure will be perfect.
There are so many options when looking to purchase
Diamond Engagement Rings, whether it be online or in person at a local
Jeweller. Each option has it’s appeal to everyone. Some buyers like the option
of walking into a store and viewing something in person or getting to speak to
a Jeweller first hand about their ideas. Others like the convenience and often
discounted price that can be associated with online shopping.
There is no doubt however that online shopping has
become even more popular even for such a high priced and important purchase.
Whether you are searching for Custom Made Engagement Rings Sydney
or New York, often online retailers are able to ship world wide. The only consideration
with purchasing Diamond Engagement Rings and Diamond Jewellery is
the shipping and custom charges. Sometimes it can be more cost effective to
purchase locally.
The usual place to start when shopping for an
Engagement Ring is often the budget and after a little research or learning
about the difference in Diamond grades you’re set to start comparing. It’s
important to consider what attributes are important to you and what sacrifices
you are willing to make to purchase according to price. For example two
Diamonds may be of similar price but one is a higher colour grade and lower
clarity. For some shapes colour is more important, for others it can be
sacrificed as clarity is more important. Size is probably the biggest factor
when looking at price and usually Diamonds in the half carat and full carat
sizes for example 1ct and 1.5ct will cost significantly more than Diamonds just
under a smidge of the full or half size.
After deciding on what type of Diamond you would like
for your Engagement Ring or Jewellery the
next important decision is the setting. Looking at Engagement Rings, there are
many types of settings to choose from. Solitaire Engagement Rings have been the
most popular choice for decades and are still among the most purchased. The
Diamond Band and Halo Engagement Ring have also been hugely popular and have
also evolved to include more elaborate designs and small Diamond setting.
The best way to determine what works with your ideal
shape is to check on designs with the same Diamond shape or ask a qualified
Jeweller what the options may be. There are certain settings which work better
than others with certain shapes for example the round shapes work best in a
claw setting whether it be four claw or six claw and tend to be tricky in an
invisible or tension setting.
The last choice couples face is whether to purchase a
ring design created by a specific Jeweller or to opt for a custom design. The
great thing about online retailers now is their ability to cater to clients
looking to create a custom design.
Which ever way a couple chooses to go, shopping for a
Diamond Engagement Ring is exciting and should be fun.
