Set a Budget
One of the most important things to do before shopping for a ring is to determine how much you are willing to spend on the ring. Setting your budget will help prevent overspending and narrow down your wedding ring choices. It’s important to remember that a more expensive ring doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best choice for you.
Types of Wedding Rings
Before you start shopping, it’s essential to understand the different types of wedding rings and materials available. Some of the most common types of wedding rings include:
Classic Bands
Our classic wedding bands offer a simple and timeless style.
Diamond Bands
We have many different diamond wedding rings for sale to add sparkle.
Eternity Bands
Eternity wedding bands feature a continuous line of gemstones around the band.
Vintage Rings
Vintage wedding rings feature unique, often intricate designs inspired by different historical periods.
Identify The Desired Diamond Shape
Understanding what diamond shape your significant other prefers will help focus your search. Costs vary depending on the chosen cut, shape, and carat. Generally, round cuts are more expensive, while pear and marquise cuts are slightly more affordable.
Consider Carat Size
The carat size is the weight of the diamond in your ring or choice. While some individuals favor larger stones, others are more interested in the clarity of the diamond. Our team can help you choose the carat size that fits your budget and style.
Get Accurate Measurements
It’s vital to get accurate measurements of the ring finger. If you don’t have correct measurements, you risk purchasing a ring that’s too tight or too loose. Our goal is to help you choose a ring that will last a lifetime sitting comfortably on your significant other’s finger.
Identify The Desired Diamond Shape
Understanding what diamond shape your significant other prefers will help focus your search. Each cut or shape comes with a different price tag, and the cost per carat varies too. Generally, round cuts are more expensive, while pear and marquise cuts are slightly more affordable. Our friendly team can help you choose from our many diamond wedding rings for sale.
Consider Your Lifestyle
Your daily lifestyle can affect your wedding ring, so it’s important to choose a ring that fits your activity level. If you have an active lifestyle or work with your hands, you might want a more durable material like platinum or titanium. If you prefer a low-maintenance ring, consider a simple band without gemstones.
Match the Engagement Ring
If your partner wears an engagement ring, consider how the wedding ring will complement it. Some couples prefer matching metals and styles, while others like contrasting designs. Try both options to see what looks best together.
Determining Quality
Our friendly staff will explain the quality of each wedding ring selection. We’ll help you inspect for the following:
Hallmark
Indicates the metal type and purity.
Craftsmanship
Ensures the ring is well-made with no visible flaws.
Gemstone Quality
For diamond rings, consider the four Cs of cut, color, clarity, and carat.
Don’t Rush
Choosing a wedding ring is one of the most important decisions of your life. It’s vital to take your time when choosing the ring. Start shopping several months before the wedding to ensure you have enough time to find the perfect ring and make any necessary adjustments.
Keep Maintenance in Mind
It’s essential to consider the maintenance required for your wedding ring. Some materials and designs may need regular cleaning and care to keep them looking their best. Our knowledgeable staff will provide care instructions and advice about maintenance services for your ring.
