Shopping
for a Custom Made Engagement Ring is one of the most important and exciting
times for young couples and knowing which ring and where to buy can be
daunting. Some men choose to shop alone in order to surprise their future
fiancé and others include their partner to get help choosing a ring they are
sure will be perfect.
There
are so many options when looking to purchase Custom Made Engagement Rings,
whether it be online or in person at a local Jeweller. Each option has it’s
appeal to everyone. Some buyers like the option of walking into a store and
viewing something in person or getting to speak to a Jeweller first hand about
their ideas. Others like the convenience and often discounted price that can be
associated with online shopping.
There
is no doubt however that online shopping has become even more popular even for
such a high priced and important purchase. Whether you are searching for Custom Made Engagement Rings
Australia, London or New
York, often online retailers are able to ship world wide. The only
consideration with purchasing Diamond Engagement Rings and Diamond Jewellery is
the shipping and custom charges. Sometimes it can be more cost effective to
purchase locally.
The
usual place to start when shopping for an Engagement Ring is often the budget
and after a little research or learning about the difference in Diamond grades
you’re set to start comparing. It’s important to consider what attributes are
important to you and what sacrifices you are willing to make to purchase
according to price. For example two Diamonds may be of similar price but one is
a higher colour grade and lower clarity. For some shapes colour is more
important, for others it can be sacrificed as clarity is more important. Size
is probably the biggest factor when looking at price and usually Diamonds in
the half carat and full carat sizes for example 1ct and 1.5ct will cost
significantly more than Diamonds just under a smidge of the full or half size.
After
deciding on what type of Diamond you would like for your Engagement Ring or
Jewellery the next important decision is the setting. Looking at Engagement
Rings, there are many types of settings to choose from. Solitaire Engagement
Rings have been the most popular choice for decades and are still among the
most purchased. The Diamond Band and Halo Engagement Ring have also been hugely
popular and have also evolved to include more elaborate designs and small
Diamond setting.
The
best way to determine what works with your ideal shape is to check on designs
with the same Diamond shape or ask a qualified Jeweller what the options may
be. There are certain settings which work better than others with certain
shapes for example the round shapes work best in a claw setting whether it be
four claw or six claw and tend to be tricky in an invisible or tension setting.
It's
always good to speak to a Jeweller who specializes in custom designs and custom
made Jewellery. The great thing about online retailers now is their ability to
cater to clients looking to create a custom design..
Which
ever way a couple chooses to go, shopping for a Custom Made Engagement Ring is
exciting and should be fun.
