How to Buy Wedding Rings
There’s a big difference between an engagement ring and a
wedding ring. When purchasing an engagement ring, most people like to surprise
the other person with the ring, sometimes making it a little more difficult to
buy. A wedding ring, however, is often something that the couple buys together.
Having your future spouse’s opinion on the ring can make it easier—but how do
you know where to start? Here’s a quick guide for how to buy wedding rings.
1. Consider
the style. Today, you can find just about any style of wedding ring. This
means that every couple can find rings that match their unique personalities
and relationship. This also means that there are a lot more choices to sift
through when making a purchase. Narrowing down wedding ring styles can be a
good way to eliminate some of those choices. It’s important, however, not to
completely eliminate all styles that don’t exactly match what you think you
want. You might not realize how perfect a certain design is until you’ve seen
it. I suggest checking JR Jewelers online shop. At JR Jewelers you can find an extensive
selection of ArtCarved jewelry, stylish Scott Kay
Engagement Rings and unique Danhov wedding bands.
2. Consider
how much you can spend. There are a lot of guides that will tell you
exactly what percentage of your income you should spend on wedding rings. The
truth is that when buying wedding rings, it’s important to make and stick to a
budget, especially because you are likely also paying for a wedding and will
also have to invest in a home to start your life together. Luckily, there are
beautiful rings in every price range.
3. Know
your four Cs. Unless you’re buying wedding rings that do not have any
stones, you’ll want to know the four Cs of precious stones. These are clarity,
carat, color, and cut. Clarity refers to the “perfection” of the stone. Does it
have any flaws? Is it clear? Carat refers to the size and weight of the stone.
Diamonds come in many different colors, with colorless being the most
expensive. Cut is the shape that the stone has been cut into.
4. Be
practical. If neither of you are interested in having large, flashy rings,
don’t buy large, flashy rings just because that’s what’s most popular with
other couples. If your future wife is hard on her jewelry, it might not be best
to buy something large that she’ll keep catching on her clothes, on the
countertops, etc.
