How to choose the right engagement ring

It is worth paying attention to semi-precious stones such as amethysts, moonstones, topazes, garnets, and other stunning stones. If you would like something unusual, you should take a look at the stones with different optical effects, such as stones that change color, alexandrite, stones with a star effect, or a cat's eye. Such a choice will surprise your loved one.

Do not go for a big size stone, because not all girls like large rings. This may be inconvenient for everyday ring wear. It is better to focus on the quality of the mineral and its color.

Also, we recommend refusing rather outdated versions of diamond engagement rings. 

IDEAS FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING

2. Choose a setting for the stone

The stone is the center of the ring, its heart, so it needs a decent set in the form of a suitable mineral. Consider different options but opt for a metal that looks good with the color of the stone. You should also think about the durability of the ring, so pay attention to the composition of the metal and its properties.

Gold is ideal for an engagement ring, as it is a durable metal that practically does not deteriorate, it does not oxidize, and does not tarnish for a long time. Silver is also perfect for a ring like this as it goes with almost any gemstone.

Silver is also quite durable if properly cared for.

3. Think about individuality

When buying a ring, it is worth following only the taste of your girlfriend, because this ring is for her, and it must please her.

Analyze what kind of jewelry she wears, and what colors she likes the most. Consider what metal her jewelry is made of, and examine whether she likes the vintage style or modern designs. This can be used as a starting point when choosing an engagement ring.

Pay attention to floral ring designs as well, this is a universal design, and many girls like it.

If a girl is fond of astrology and esoteric practices, you can choose a stone for the ring based on its metaphysical and healing properties, which will help your beloved. 

4. Examine the strength of the ring

It is important to pay attention to how strong the ring is. The ring should not have parts that can easily break off. It should also be thick enough so that it cannot be bent. Also, pay attention to how the stone is set. It should be firmly set in the ring and should not be loose or scratched on the parts of the ring. If possible, it is worth holding the ring in your hands, examining it well, and looking at every detail. 

5. Allow yourself to experiment

In case you could not choose the best ring, try to create your own. To do this, contact a good jeweler or a jewelry company that makes designs that would be a good fit for you. Be sure to think in advance about the concept, as well as all the details of the future ring, and then tell the master about it. You can also ask them to create a sketch that will reflect what you have in mind.

You can also have the ring engraved to make it special.

Don't hesitate to check with the retailer to see if you can change the stone in the ring from the catalog. Usually, stores are willing to experiment with you.
