Engagement Ring Tips

March 3, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

nangar

When it comes to engagement rings, everyone has different ideas on the perfect one for them. Our team at Nangar Gems have some great tips to help you and your loved one pick the right ring for you.

First and foremost it’s important to set a budget and stick to it! We always strive to meet the budget expectations of our clients. Being a manufacturing jeweller gives us greater flexibility in our prices to meet all sorts of styles, tastes and budgets. We generally offer some basic diamond training to our clients regarding the four C’s (cut, colour, clarity and carat) so they are more informed on what to look out for when making their selection.

At Nangar Gems we believe in quality over size and would generally advise our clients to avoid carbon. A carbon flaw is a blemish present within a diamond, usually seen as a black spot. These spots are very noticeable and therefore undesirable imperfections for your perfect ring. We also advise against hollowed out bands and small claws. These tend to wear our quickly and need constant repair, which can eat into your budget!

If you’re looking to surprise her, the three things you need to know are;
• Her size (if you don’t know bring one of her rings in).
• What type of gold she likes.
• What shape stone or design she likes.
With this knowledge and over 25 years of our expertise, we’re sure that the ring you choose will help you get a ‘yes!’ when you pop the question.
