There are a few things to take into account when choosing a ring. If you follow through with these, you will have a quality piece of jeweler that will last and that you love.

 

 

First, choose the style of ring that works for you. If you are going to wear your ring all the time and for everything you do, make sure you choose a low set, modern maintenance free setting. A full bezel setting or partial bezel setting is perfect for this. This style of secure setting is long lasting and very durable. A far cry from the high-set clusters and claw set rings that need constant maintenance. If you would like additional stones in your engagement ring, try and steer away from channel set stones. They are not the most secure style of setting and once again they can need some on-going attention if they are to be constantly worn. Opt instead for a grain, pave or whisker setting. These are all modern, comfortable and long lasting.

 

Secondxefxbcx8c and most importantly when choosing a ring. Find somebody that you can trust. Seek out a Manufacturing Jeweler and meet with them personally. Most people think that having a ring custom made will be more expensive, but really when you are looking for a long term investment, the quality of jeweler that you will get from a handmade piece will be far superior to any store brought item. While the big jeweler store’s may have all the glitz and glamour, the majority of their jeweler is either imported inexpensively or are cast pieces. This means that they make literally hundreds of thousands of copies of just one original ring.

Thirdly, don’t be afraid to think outside the parameter of what an engagement ring should be. There are a plethora of fantastic colored precious and semi-precious stones out there. You will be far happier with something that you designed and that you love. Sentiment is from the heart, not from the wallet.
