Rules of Buying an Engagement Ring

  When it comes to buying an engagement ring it is very important to choose a right jeweler, why just settle for any jeweler for the most memorable day of your life. Whether you choose to buy from an independent jeweler or a mall store we suggest you keep in mind the different styles, the prices, and services the jeweler has to offer. A professional jeweler will not only help you make an informed purchase but will also understand your preferences and offer you a good deal. Since, jewelers offer different services to their clients, you need to know you are putting your money at its best worth. So before you choose one, try to check whether they provide your preferred service for the ring you are going to buy.Some of the questions to ask are; is routine maintenance and cleaning a part of the deal? What about repairs? What about resizing? Some of them may offer all the things you want and some may partially offer the services. These are five things you must consider whilst buying an Engagement Ring from a jeweler    Credibility When choosing a jeweler we suggest you choose someone who you can trust and can build a long lasting relationship. A true professional jeweler will have excellent credentials from an International Gemological Institute like GIA, IGI, AGS, or EGI and will give you a grading certificate. Certificates verify the quality of a diamond and allow non-experts to make knowledgeable decisions while purchasing diamonds. We advise you to consider the jewelers reputation, how long he has been in the business, and if the diamonds are ethical.   Options With ample of jewelry stores sprouting up almost everywhere, you should not fall short of choices. From Independent jewelers who have exotic and unique offerings to small stores who showcase new styles as well as the online stores who have a wide collection to choose from and who sell at a much affordable rate then the regular retailers. We suggest you choose a jeweler who has an optimum combination of both style and affordability so that you have plenty of alternatives to pick from.   Customization Are you a modern bride who is simply obsessed with fashion and love unconventional engagement rings? And want to design a ring that you saw, something that you have in mind or perhaps a celebrity engagement ring look alike. A good jeweler will always focus on your needs, your style, and will help you find the best within your budget. Not only will he strive to understand your miniscule requirements, but will also go out of the way and customize the ring for your unforgettable day. The best option though for customizing your special souvenir is pick up from an online store as they offer more than enough designs and options to style your own ring the way that you want and also you can get a look of how your ring would turn out to be before you make the actual purchase.    Knowledge Any certified jeweler has the knowledge and training on how to assess and grade diamonds.  A fine jeweler should guide you through the process and will answer all your questions related to the 4 C’s (cut, clarity, color, and carat). Ask your jeweler to show you the cut, clarity, and color of the diamond under the gemological microscope so you can be best assured of your purchase.   Jewelers Policy One of the key factors to consider before buying an engagement ring is jeweler policy. Since diamonds are an expensive investment we recommend you to consider the return policy, policies related to warranty, the time frame taken by the jeweler to deliver the ring, repurchase policy etc. Every jeweler has different policies so it makes sense to choose the jeweler whose policies you can best resonate with.   Since diamonds are an affluent investment, the need of selecting a jeweler who you can rely on cannot be overemphasized. These simple considerations ensure that you are choosing a reputable, dependable jeweler who will be able to upkeep the quality of your investment for years to come.
