Shopping for a diamond engagement ring is known for being a tricky and confusing feat for a groom-to-be. Before making the important decision about which ring will grace your sweetheart’s finger for years to come, take note of the following rules of buying an engagement ring.
Do Your Research
Tackle your ring finding mission with the same gusto and sense as you would when buying a car. As you all know, research is paramount when buying a car and the same applies when it comes to finding the right jeweller. Whether you conduct research online, in-store or by asking friends who have achieved this mission before, make sure you are prepared and primed for this important decision.
Know Her Taste
Knowing your partners preferred taste is going to make your ring selecting duties a lot easier, especially with regard to choosing a centre diamond. If she prefers classic jewellery then you can’t go wrong with picking a round centre diamond; if her taste is more modern why not explore contemporary shapes such as asscher or cushion cut diamonds.
Establish Your Budget
The old adage that a man should spend two to three month’s salary on an engagement ring is not 100 per cent accurate. Establishing a budget for an engagement ring should be based purely on personal circumstances. Once you have a figure in mind you can decide where more money needs to be spent where – for example, if your fiancé has small hands focus less on buying a bigger carat weight and more on the colour of the diamond/s you’re choosing.
