You know that this lady is ‘the one’ and the time has come to make things permanent. All that’s needed now is to buy an engagement ring which will adequately symbolise the significance of the most personal relationship in your life. Naturally, it is one of the most important items of jewellery you will ever buy, so you need to get it right. You know that it simply has to be diamond, but that’s about all you do know – what‘s next?
Share the experienceAlthough many men still like the thought of flattering their girlfriend with a surprise romantic proposal that involves them presenting a ring she‘s never seen before, many women prefer the idea of sharing the experience by shopping for the ring together. Let’s face it, an engagement ring is not something you want to get wrong, and you want to be sure that the special woman in your life will love wearing it for the rest of her life. Therefore, not only will purchasing the ring together be a wonderful experience by itself, it will also give you peace of mind in knowing that your special lady genuinely will adore the ring you have chosen together.
PresentationWhen it comes to jewellery, presentation is everything. There are lots of different ways of presenting a diamond in a ring so finding one which suits a particular individual really comes down to personal preference. Again, this is where shopping for the ring together can pay dividends.
CertificationOne of the most important aspects to consider when buying diamond rings is that the stone you buy is ‘certified’. A certified diamond is one which has been independently assessed, graded and coded by an independent gemmological laboratory using a laser. Reputable jewellers will only sell certified stones, therefore when choosing a vendor to buy your ring from, make sure they have a good reputation. This will give you great peace of mind and also provide you with the various warranties and guarantees which well regarded jewellers are proud to issue.
Stick to your budgetAnd of course, last but certainly not least, comes the price. Obviously, diamonds aren’t cheap but that doesn‘t mean that you have to go mad and spend more than you can afford. It is important to set a limit on what you are willing to pay and stick to it in the same way that you would when buying any other luxury item. There will still be people who will insist that you should spend at least a month’s salary when buying a diamond engagement ring, but that is nothing more than anachronistic nonsense. Only spend what you can afford.
