How to Choose a Diamond Ring She’ll Love
Probably the best way to buy that special woman in your life a diamond she’ll love is to take her along to choose it herself. However, if you want it to be a surprise, or if you’d rather not have her know all the pricing and payment options, there are a few things to consider. Use these helpful tips to choose a diamond ring she’ll love.
Jewelry Type
Pay special attention to the type of jewelry that your special lady wears. Does she prefer contemporary or vintage? Or maybe you would say her taste in jewelry is classic; classic pieces are always in style.
Don’t choose a jewelry type that your lady only wears on special occasions. Instead, buy the style of jewelry that she wears everyday.
Color
What color is the metal of the jewelry that she wears daily? Does she prefer gold, silver, or platinum? Or maybe she has a preference for white gold. Whatever you do, choose the preferred color of metal for the setting; don’t try to please her by purchasing something “different.”
Looks
What looks great on your lady’s hands? Oval and marquise shaped diamonds make short fingers look longer, but don’t purchase a large one or it will have the opposite effect.
If your lady has long fingers, she will be able to wear a bold ring. A setting and stone that are too delicate will appear lost if her hands are large.
Hints
Has your special lady ever given hints about the jewelry she prefers, or pointed out rings that she loved when the two of you were window shopping? If not, take her to the mall and stop to look in jewelry shop windows. If you do this in a subtle way and look in other shop windows also, she will never guess that she is shopping for her diamond.
Lifestyle
Take your special lady’s lifestyle into consideration when purchasing a diamond ring. If she works for a living, stay away from fancy rings that will look out of place at work. Never buy a diamond ring that is so intricate that it will catch in her clothing or be hard to keep clean. Leave fancy rings for gifts and special occasions, such as anniversaries, birthdays and Christmas.
Size
Do you know what size diamond ring your special lady will wear? If not, ask one of her close friends or a family member to help you obtain one of the rings she wears so you can get the diamond sized. Another option is to give her a loose diamond when you propose and then shop together for the setting.
Price Options
There are several options to consider when you begin your search for that perfect diamond ring.
- Use a family heirloom ring that has been in your family for generations.
- Buy the diamond from a pawn shop, especially if you are on a tight budget. Pawn shop diamonds are often terrific buys. Use caution and chose a reputable pawn shop that has been in business for many years.
- Buy a zirconia. Jewelers sometimes have difficulty telling the difference between a high quality zirconia and a quality diamond.
- Purchase a ring with several small diamonds instead of one with only one large stone. These rings are just as beautiful as a solitaire and are often much more reasonably priced.
These tips will help you choose the perfect diamond ring for that special lady in your life. May the two of you enjoy many long and happy years together.
