What Do I Need To Know About Buying An Engagement Ring?

Buying an engagement ring is not an ordinary affair. Lots of planning goes behind picking "THE ONE" ring, which is the epitome of your love and commitment. Read below to find out what all you need to know about buying an engagement ring.

What Should You Know When You Go Shopping For An Engagement Ring?

The "BIG DAY" has been marked on the calendar, and you just cannot wait for the special moment when you will say "I DO". But have you thought about the kind of engagement ring you want, what should it be like, what kind of metal you want etc? If not, then better get started; otherwise, you won't be able to have the Kodak moment. Some of the things you need to keep in mind are:

• Centre stone and settings: Engagement ring settings and mountings are different from the centre stone you choose. Let the jeweler know the kind of centre stone (diamond, emerald, sapphire etc) and setting you want the stone to be held in. (Bezel, pave, prong, or any other)
• Shape: When you choose the center stone, be informed about the kind of shape of the stone you want. Oval, round, princess, etc. are the commonly available options to choose from.
• 4 Cs: You must have an eye for detailing when you shop around for an engagement ring. 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat) determine the ultimate amount that you need to shell out. Plan wisely on what parameters can be compromised depending on the taste of your fiancé and, of course, your budget.
• Metal: Once you know the kind of stone you want and its setting, you better get going on the category of the metal band. While platinum is the most expensive on the list, going for gold, white gold, or rose gold will ease your finances!
• Customization: Who says you have to pick the ring from what is shown in the store? You can go ahead with your ideas and get a ring customized according to your whims and wishes. Not only will it show the depth of your emotions but it will also be easy on the pocket.
• Order well in time: To ensure that things don't goof up for the last moment, make sure you place the order for the ring well in advance.
