Nothing symbolises a wedding proposal more than a beautiful diamond ring. A symbol of love that is strong and enduring, it is also one of the biggest investments the groom will have to make to claim the hand of his bride. Hence, before you get down on bended knee to make that special proposal, read below for tips on how to choose the right engagement ring!
Know Your Budget
There are lots of jewelry shops available which range from the high end Tiffany & Co, Cartier and Harry Winston to the local jewellers such as Diamond & Platinum and Poh Kong which carry rings to suit every budget. Hence, know your budget and your affordability before you decide on the type of ring or where to buy it from. Don’t buy a ring you cannot afford.
Research
With a mind-boggling array of shops and rings available, how do you know where you should buy your diamond ring from? Do some research! Go from shop to shop, ask to see the rings they have and ask many questions. Educate yourself as best as you can to avoid getting cheated.
Reputable Jewellers
If possible, try to select a ring from a reputable jeweller. Although the rings at a reputable jeweller may be sold at a premium to a normal jeweller, you can be usually assured of the quality they carry. Beyond the branding they have, most of these good jewellers carry good quality diamonds and often offer additional after sales services such as free cleaning and servicing of the ring for a lifetime. Some even offer trade-ins at prevailing market prices should you choose to upgrade the size of the diamond in the future.
Know Her Tastes
Try to explore what her tastes in rings might be. Some girls like the simplicity of a solitaire diamond ring whilst others prefer coloured stones or eternity rings. If you are concerned of buying a ring she might not like, it does not hurt to buy it together with her. Although it may be less of a surprise, it definitely reduces the risk of her not liking it and the painful damage that purchase would have been on your wallet!
Now that you have an idea of how to buy a diamond ring, go ahead and prepare yourself for that unique wedding proposal!
