Your
engagement ring should reflect your tastes and showcase quality design and craftsmanship you can wear forever. The right ring could be one designed for a seasonal release, a bespoke option, or a customized style. Consider these pointers as you choose your dream ring from hundreds of stunning designs with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and more.
Consider the Type of Metal and Your Style
Many women prefer a ring made from 14-karat gold with either a central diamond or set of smaller diamonds. People also like platinum, palladium, and silver used as the main material for the band or as accents for a gold band. Note that the gold does not have to be white, and compare metal finishes as well as texture options. Your budget is an important consideration that may make a thinner band or minimal customizations a deciding factor. Ask your jeweler about the maintenance routine for each metal and any sizing issues related to wider bands. Some metals have a warm, more antique, sleek, or modern aesthetic that may work better with certain designs.
Look at Bespoke Options, Customization, and Matching Bands
Men have bought the majority of rings as long as the tradition has been around, but don't let that limit you. Your style as a couple, preferences, and personalities matter the most and will bring you joy for years to come. Consider consulting with a jeweler who can size and customize your rings when matching bands are an option. Many people select matching sets with a wider men's band and add fingerprints, detail edges, texture, and other customizations to both rings. A designer who offers bespoke jewelry will work with you from scratch to create and customize a ring for your unique style. Most people purchase rings three to four months before the ceremony, but add time based on a consultation for bespoke jewelry.
Consider Texture Options and Individual Consultation
A band can be more or less flat with a smooth finish, wider at certain points, or textured. Choose a heavy texture pattern for the whole band or small accents that decorate edges and sets of stones. An expert jeweler can engrave, tool, etch, or add inlay to your ring to get a texture you'll love. People can choose from a growing online selection of rings, but don't underestimate the importance of in-person shopping. Your designer or sales consultant will offer valuable insight and help you find what you want faster.
