Let’s chat about choosing the right engagement ring for you.
One of the first things to consider is your setting. If you want something completely unique and one-of-a-kind, you may want to custom design a ring with our jewelers or opt for a vintage engagement ring. If you want to focus your budget on getting the largest diamond possible, you may want to consider a simple setting. If you are active and hard on your hands, you may want to consider a style that protects your diamond, such as a bezel. Alternatively, consider wearing your wedding band in place of your engagement ring when you’re exercising or working.
Next, think about the diamond you want. When selecting a diamond, consider which of the 4cs is most important to you.
If you want the largest carat weight possible but need to stay within a budget, you might want to consider a diamond with a lower clarity or more color. If you want a completely colorless diamond, you may want to consider a diamond with a smaller carat weight or a lower clarity grade.
Grades for color, cut, clarity, and carat weight describe a diamond’s rarity, not its appearance! A diamond with clarity imperfections or hints of color can be just as beautiful as a flawless, colorless diamond. All that matters is that a diamond is beautiful to you!
When selecting a metal for your engagement ring, you should know that platinum is more durable than white gold, white gold is less expensive than platinum, and yellow gold can make a diamond with more color appear whiter. No matter what metal you choose, if you take care of your ring and maintain it as needed, it will stand the test of time.
If you opt for a platinum or white gold ring and don’t want a two-tone or mixed-metal look, make sure your wedding band is made of the same metal as your engagement ring. Platinum and white gold wear differently over time.
