Do you have any clue what time of the year it will soon be? None other than the season of engagements! If you and your partner want to be engaged this year, you're probably already narrowing down your options for engagement or couple rings. There are a lot of different styles and possibilities for engagement diamond and gold rings out there. When there are so many design ideas and styles to choose from, it might be difficult to narrow down your choices to just a few. You will wear this love symbol for the entirety of your life. This is exactly why it is critical that you select one that you genuinely enjoy and will treasure.
It's crucial to remember that, while the design is significant, the construction quality of the ring is just as important. Because you'll be wearing it all the time and it's not cheap or throwaway jewellery, it has to be sturdy and the stone(s) properly fastened. The easiest approach to assure the quality of a ring's construction is to choose one or have one manufactured by a reputable jeweller. Most reputable jewellers also provide free engagement ring maintenance once a year or so. If you wish to go with a white gold ring design, a free maintenance and repair service like this is extremely beneficial. Why? Because a coating of rhodium plating is applied to most white gold rings to give them a more cool-toned white appearance. Because white gold as a metal tends to become more yellow over time, this is done. After all, the hue of the other metals blended in, such as yellow gold, tends to come through and show over time (It take a few years at least for this to show). Because you will have to get your white gold ring re-plated with rhodium at least once every several years, this free maintenance may be extremely useful. Even if you choose a platinum band, there's a strong likelihood that you'll need to buff or polish the patina away that develops on your ring quite a few years down the road. Some well-known jewellery brands and even stand-alone designers provide free or low-cost repairs, and some even replace any melee diamonds that could possibly fall out in an accident. If you want a pavé band that goes down the side of your ring or a diamond cluster engagement ring, you'll need to choose a jeweller that can do both. Because there's a good possibility you'll knock your hand against a door, the edge of wall, or whatever else at some stage in your life. Because diamonds that are set in a pavé setting are so small, they may not always be visible if they come off. And, maybe most importantly, a reputable jeweller will always give you authenticity credentials, whether they are a hallmark stamp or a GIA certificate.
When you buy from a reputable jeweller, you'll have access to a wide range of engagement bands and wedding ring designs to pick from, as well as the assurance that their work will be of high quality.
