The first step in successfully buying an engagement ring is picking out the one that you like the most. What do you want? The best sparkle? biggest? Best clarity? Or the highest quality? Every one of these influences your decision on which type of betrothal ring you decide on.

You may want to start with the setting. There are two main ways for this. Reputable jewelry stores have beautiful settings you can choose from .    Several of those are classic styles, with just small changes from one manufacturer to the next.

Almost everyone will feel these timeless pieces are excellent choices for their rings. It doesn’t matter whether you select a plain raised prong setting This type of setting is known as a Tiffany setting to jewelers. If you wish a more formal or distinguished piece, browse together through previously designed settings, online and off. Perhaps, select a stately three-stone setting, with two stones flanking a larger central stone. Sharing your ideas will produce the perfect ring.

If you are interested in a more original piece you should think about going to jewelry designers other than normal jewelers. Friends can give you recommendations, you may also look in the phone book, do an online search, or by visiting high end jewelery stores or craft shows.

A jeweler who is classically trained will know more then a mere counter person or repairman. This person should know everything about metal and how to protect it as most jewelry counter people have no idea about any of this.

First you pick a setting, then you begin the more arduous task of picking the right size, type, style, and price of stone. Both purchases do not have to be the same. Many couples can blend family history and future hopes by using a stone from a family piece that has become worn or outdated. A modern setting can provide a stronger ring with Grandmother’s diamond blessing the new marriage.

Work with a good jeweler if you would like a new diamond or if you need a new diamond. This is the part of diamond ring selection that usually is troublesome for the novice.  Matters of preference regarding cut, clarity and carat often arise: is an unmarred, but less sparkling, stone more important than a bigger one with a few imperfections or would you prefer a more diminutive, yet flawless, stone? Is a colored stone a better choice? What’s the best style?

This way you can get an expert jeweler well- trained in diamond sales.  You should call jewelry store and schedule an appointment to view stones.  You should also indicate that you wish to receive a basic education in selecting a piece of jewelry that is right for you or your partner. Be sure to see lots of choices and ask as many questions as you need.

A well-trained jeweler should approve of this tactic. Know your own limits and a good jeweler should understand them. It’s well worth having a jeweler appraise a diamond that you’re thinking of buying, just as it’s a good idea to have a building appraiser inspect a home before you purchase it.

If you don’t have enough money to buy a high quality diamond, a good alternative to consider is either purchasing a low quality diamond at a discount or buying a fake diamond with the intention of replacing the stone with a higher quality diamond when you do have the available funds or inclination.
