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 .
