Things to keep in mind while purchasing a diamond engagement ring

Diamond Engagement Ring

I know a lot of couples who have bought their engagement rings together or, have had at least pre-shopped together and for them, the choice of the ring was never a problem. Some couples prefer to buy loose diamonds online and get a customised ring made.  However, if you are planning to give your partner a surprise, then you need to be very certain of what she would pick. Remember, it’s your money but her ring.

When looking for the perfect diamond eternity engagement ring or an asscher cut engagement ring, there are a lot of things to consider. Your budget is surely going to play a significant role in your decision, but you cannot neglect the quality since the ring is as unique as your loved one.
Find below the points to consider before going down on your knees for the special one.

1. Choose a reputable jeweller: Since this would be the most significant purchase you will ever make, you need to ensure the genuinity.  Speak to your close friends, family and engaged couples to find jewellers that they recommend. Needless to say, a reputable jewellery store like Abrahams Diamonds should be the first thing you should look for.

2. Run ahead of time: Choosing a ring will involve trips to jewellery stores, and the process is time-consuming. Also, the variety of options that you get will confuse you even more, and that is why you need enough time to shortlist a couple of good options.

3. Choice of diamond: When choosing a diamond, you need to have complete information about its 4C’s, as they play a major role in the quality and the cost of a ring. The 4C’s indicate "cut, clarity, colour and carat" of the diamond. Now, if you need sparkle and brilliance in the ring, then you should focus on the cut. Its proportions, symmetry and polish can vary the look of the diamond. However, if you want the ring to be light on your pocket, look for lesser carats. Higher the carat (weight), the more expensive the ring will be.

4. Get custom made rings: Consider approaching the jeweller at least a month or two before if you want a custom ring. Also, if want to buy loose diamonds online, complete this task as soon as possible since designing custom rings can take more time. If you decide to personalise every aspect of your ring, then the first thing to look at when buying a loose diamond is clarity. Most of the times, internal imperfections like small cracks, whitish dots or fine dark spots called inclusions are present.

5. Settings are important: The metal framework to mount the diamond can enhance or spoil the look. Getting the right combination of the shape of the stone and the setting is the key to making a beautiful engagement ring.

6. Rethink the metal: You may love platinum, but she loves gold...... And that’s where you need to think twice before investing. Spy her style or chit chat casually with her to know what she likes. There is nothing more beautiful than surprising your beloved with just what she wants!
