Buy Engagement Rings

By: Ali C

Out of all the gifts you might present to your partner, the engagement rings are the most precious and will also be most significant to the two of you. Traditionally, engagement ring is presented by a man to his wife-to-be as a sign of their betrothal. The woman wears it on the ring finger of her left or (in some countries like Poland or Brazil) right hand. Interestingly, the ring finger is called thus because it is supposed to contain the vena amoris or the vein of love. Wearing engagement rings on a particular finger would hence be a sign of the love and its promise between a couple.

Since an engagement ring is presented by the man, he’s the one who’s also got to pick it out. It was easier in the good old days when the parents of the bride and the groom would get the engagement rings made and all the couple had to do was exchange them. But come to think of it, since you chose to live your life with her, choosing a ring can’t be that difficult.

In order that your engagement rings come as close to perfect as possible, it must first get as close to her likes as possible. Get acquainted well with her tastes – and this you can do easily by observing her dressing style, and jewelry, what she ogles at in the mall, or even just speaking to her best friend (who hopefully can keep a secret). Most women are smart and helpful enough to drop a hint or two about what kind of jewelry they like, so keeping your eyes and ears open will definitely help.

The other consideration you want to maintain is your budget. A little knowledge on what options are available on this front will help you choose wisely. Engagement rings are made of different materials namely: Gold, Platinum, Silver or White gold. Platinum engagement rings are by far the most expensive ones. It is also most preferred because of its durability and wear-resistance along with its luster. Gold is less expensive and lustrous as well. However, it needs to be polished after some years since the shine wears off. The quantity of metal used will have a direct relationship with the price, as will the purity of metal used. You can also opt for an alloy of two or more metals which has properties of both, and will be less expensive. Along with metal, any precious stones you use will add to the price. Diamonds engagement rings are the most expensive, colored diamonds more so. Diamonds are priced according to the 4 Cs: Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat.

Sometimes people opt for other stones that also look very beautiful but are less expensive and make the rings unique. The design of your ring contributes to the price as well. Often, made to order engagement rings will cost much more than readymade rings. Depending on which of the above factors are important to you, balance out the other two accordingly. You do not wish to start your married life in debt, I’m sure.

Engagement rings are no doubt important, however, not as important as the decision of marriage. When your decision is based on solid ground, the ring will symbolize this, and assume a beauty that no amount of money could buy.
