JEWELLERS
- Choose a jeweller recommended from a reliable source.
- Consider engravings inside your rings as a special memento of your love.
- Traditionally the groom selects the engagement ring for his bride and proposes to her with the ring.
- You could also select your rings together.
- Choose a style that complements your hands and fingers.
- Some experts suggest that the wedding ring budget be no more than both of your salaries for two months. This is a
guideline, not a rule. Make your decision based on your financial picture.
- Precious stones are evaluated by the cut, the clarity, the color and the carat.
- Cut: full-cut diamonds have 58 facets (sides)
the perfect cut diamond is perfectly proportioned and angled
- Clarity: most diamonds have inclusions (flaws) ranging from tiny spots to larger carbon spots. The fewer the flaws, the better quality the diamond is considered to be. You should not see any specks or bubbles with the naked eye.
- Color: the perfect diamond is colorless. Most diamonds have a tint of yellow or brown.
- Carat: the carat is the weight of the stone. One carat has one hundred points and weighs 1/142 ounce. The price of the
stone is determined by the number of points.
- Make sure you get a good price for the quality stone you purchase. Small, fine diamonds may cost more than larger inferior diamonds.
- Gold is the most popular metal used in rings. It is either yellow or white in color.
- Most rings are made of 14K or 18K gold.
- Wedding rings are assets that increase in value with time.
- Your insurance company may require an appraisal to insure your rings.
