C hoosing your engagement ring requires more consideration than anything else you’ ll ever wear. No other piece of clothing or jewellery will stay with you as long, or carry as much meaning as this tiny symbol of fidelity.
It means you must weigh the importance of exciting trends with the timelessness of classic beauty. It means you have to commit to a particular design, and live with it, even as styles come and go.
When a bride comes into our store, we have an obligation to help her make a good decision. After all, it’ s the first thing people will ask to see for the next several months. And over time, her engagement ring and wedding band will influence nearly every jewellery choice she makes.
Above all, choose a ring that suits your personality. Some are more comfortable with a daring look. For others, a more traditional design is more suitable. Where couples can run into trouble is trying to fit the bride to an existing ring – perhaps one that’ s been passed down from another generation. Although we love to honour our heritage, the likelihood of that ring being a perfect match is fairly low. After all, there’ s nothing more personal than your engagement ring.
In situations where an heirloom ring is being passed down, we often recommend resetting
the centre-stone. This allows the history of the original diamond to remain, while respecting the wishes and feelings of the bride, who deserves an engagement ring that is truly her own.
Before you choose your ring, you have to choose your jeweller. Look for one with a handson approach to customer service. Today’ s brides are interested in knowing where a diamond comes from. Canadian diamonds are the most responsibly sourced stones in the world. If you want to feel confident in where your diamond came from, ensure you have a variety of Canadian diamonds available at the store you choose.
Above all, choose a store that makes you feel comfortable. Your engagement ring is a lifelong commitment. You’ ll appreciate a store that’ s also in it for the long-haul. Ask about what sort of services are included in the price of your ring. Regular inspections and cleaning keep your ring looking beautiful and will satisfy warranty and insurance requirements.
Your engagement ring is a part of your life from now until forever. Good choices now will give you confidence in your decision for years to come.
