How to Choose an Engagement Ring Choosing an engagement ring is a tradition that we would like to help you enjoy. There are several factors to consider when selecting an engagement ring: Quality Of all of the factors that you consider when purchasing an engagement ring, quality should be at the top of your list. Do not compromise quality to save a few dollars. A ring that is made to high standards will last you for many generations. On the other hand, a low quality ring will start to give you headaches immediately, from the first time you need to size the ring, to poor settings, and poor metal work. When comparing quality there are a few things to look for: The weight of the ring - good quality rings will have a proper weight, because after all it is the gold that is holding the diamonds in place.
The diamond settings - good quality rings will be hand set by master jewelers whose art is to ensure your ring lasts a lifetime.
The finish of the ring - good quality rings have a clean, smooth, even finish on all surfaces. This ensures that your ring had the proper quality check before it is delivered to you. We know that there are many choices for you on the internet, such as Blue Nile , Zales , and Robbins Brothers , and we invite you to compare their quality and prices with ours. There is no substitute for quality, and we design our rings with the highest quality standards, and we guarantee all of our rings for life, so that you can rest assured that a ring from DMNDS4YOU will be a ring you can enjoy many more years to come. Style There are hundreds of styles available at jewelers, and designers, such as Cartier and Tiffany , are hard at work creating new masterpieces, so you are sure to find the perfect setting for your engagement ring. But how do you go about looking through the thousands of styles to find the right ring for you? All styles are variations of common themes. The major design styles are Antique, Art Deco, Classic, Micro Pave, Modern, and Three-Stone rings. By comparing the design elements of each main style you can get a feeling of the style that best suites your personal preference.
As designers we can also incorporate elements from different styles and create a truly unique engagement ring for you. We can take your ideas and turn them into reality. Simply call us at (888) 99-DMNDS, or email us at info@dmnds4you.com to find out how easy creating your own style can be. Size When selecting an engagement ring you want to take into account the overall size of the ring. The width of the ring on the finger is a personal preference, and will also affect the ring size that you need; rings with thin shanks will require a ring size slightly smaller than your normal ring size, while rings with wide shanks will generally need to be about 1/4 to 1/2 sizes larger than your normal ring size. The height of the ring is another factor to consider when purchasing a ring. You can choose from low profile rings, or a high cathedral setting that will literally raise your center diamond up. In addition to the height of the ring, you should also consider the height of the center diamond setting. When setting the center diamond we can set it low, medium, or high in the prongs. You decide, and we'll do the work. Gold vs. Platinum Gold and Platinum are both used in jewelry because of their characteristics as a noble metal. Noble metals do not react with other elements present in the atmosphere, and as a result will not rust or corrode the way other metals do. Platinum is a softer but heavier metal than Gold. When choosing an engagement ring you must keep in mind that a platinum ring will weigh more, will generally be more expensive, and because it is softer, will scratch more easily than Gold. It is a common misconception that Platinum is harder than gold; too many times we have heard from customers with Platinum rings that their rings scratch to easily. Gold is the most popular choice for jewelry for many reasons. Gold can be easily sized, repaired, or polished. Gold can be cast in a variety of colors including white, yellow, and rose. Price The final factor to consider when buying an engagement ring is price. You should be comfortable with the amount you budget for your engagement ring, and you should also be confident that you are getting a great value for your money. We adhere to a strict code to deliver you the highest quality jewelry at the best value. Our job is to present our engagement rings to you with the confidence that our jewelry can stand above all other competitors in quality, price, and design.
