Say It With a Ring!

1. S a y I t Wi t h a R i n g ! There comes a time when two people know they want to be together for a very long time, hopefully for the rest of their lives. So they do what millions of others have done before them: they start looking for a ring – an engagement ring. Of course there may be some differences in terms of the exact symbolism attached to this ring in different cultures, but for most it means one thing: I promise myself to you. So, what are the things to consider when you set out in search of the perfect ring? Budget, for one, may be an issue for many people, but fortunately there are many choices and this is no reason to be intimidated. You buy within your budget; many retail stores and /or jewellers may actually arrange a payment plan for you. Then of course you will look at issues such as the style, the stone or combinations of stones, the setting and any ideas to have your ring personalized – which certain jewellers will do for you, if they offer a service beyond being a retailer. There are indeed some very talented, knowledgeable, experienced jewellers who have either studied jewellery design or developed their skills over the years to be able to come up with a unique ring, one that you may specifically ask them to design for you. This may actually involve asking the jeweller to design a pair of rings for you, the other one being the wedding ring that will follow later. When it comes to the choice of engagement rings, there are so many styles to choose from, which is a great opportunity for couples – the lady more so, of course – to express their personality in the best way they wish to by choosing a ring in the style and shape they like best. Some may like a very modern design, others something form the past such as a vintage ring, and others, still, a combination which they can ask a jewellery designer to make for them.

2. As mentioned earlier many retailers are also designers and manufacturers of rings, or they have access to the services of a good designer/manufacturer. Everywhere in big cities – also smaller towns – there are jewellery stores that offer choices. Couples often take their time to find the best one by a process of elimination and will then deal with the store that meets all their requirements such as budget, style of the ring, the stone they want, the setting be that gold or platinum, for example, and the service levels they expect. Of course many couples shop online today, or they look at websites and then visit the jeweller whose rings they find they want to see for themselves. Once they meet with the jeweller, they will form a better idea of what they like best in their price range. A caring jeweller will sit them down and have some discussions about their expectations. This often leads to a custom design, which involves having a ring made tailored to your exact wishes, provided it falls within your budget, of course. Jewellery design, as most things in life today, develops all the time, and the best designers make sure they stay abreast of the latest styles and the best materials for the settings and, obviously, the stone. Most couples buy a diamond ring, with many adding other smaller stones to complete the design. It is a choice. Because getting engaged is such an important, life-changing decision, it goes without saying that choosing the ring is a big decision since it is likely that this ring will be worn for a lifetime. That is why couples think it through properly, why they take care that they invest in the best ring, that it meets their expectations and becomes a lasting symbol of their commitment. That is why they choose the best jeweller or retailer to deal with, to make sure they receive the best attention, and a wonderful ring.
