There is no doubt that this is a great relief.

How to choose an engagement ring?

When deciding to purchase an engagement ring online, it is important to pay attention to several issues and variables to ensure that you choose a good, high-quality ring, made from the excellent raw materials used today in the jewelry industry:

• Gold – How many karats is the ring defined as? The karat indicates the percentage of pure gold in the alloy from which the ring is made, and therefore also has an impact on the price.
• Size – Similar to other fashion accessories, rings have defined and precise sizes, which may save you from having to go to the store just to get measured.
• Diamonds – Unlike a wedding ring – those who marry according to Jewish law can add a diamond or gemstone to the design of their engagement rings. It is important to know a few details about the diamond itself to ensure that it is real, pure, clean, and produced in humane and legal ways.
• Personal design – Today, you can personally design your ring. You can look at catalogs or photo galleries, get ideas and inspiration, and finally design your dream ring independently.

What not to give up?

Because the world of jewelry involves very large sums of money, it is very important to pay attention to who you approach and which business website you are browsing. You must make sure that there is a license to operate a business, that the website offers reliable and professional information, and that there is someone to contact to obtain additional information or ask questions. In order for the purchase to be correct and wise, the website must contain everything the user needs to know so that the ring and diamond they choose are real and they can know this for themselves and present authorized evidence if required. There are some documents that you must not refuse to receive after the purchase.

A gemological certificate in the case of large diamonds or a detailed tax invoice with the details of the jewelry

This is a certificate produced by international, recognized and official laboratories. Every diamond that is produced officially and legally and offered for sale, whether as part of a piece of jewelry or as a diamond alone, must be accompanied by the appropriate gemological certificate. Anyone who deals with jewelry and diamonds will know how to give the certificate to the buyer and even explain to him the details that appear in it. In the certificate, you will be able to find important information about the diamond, its carat, its clarity and its color. It is very important to keep the certificate as long as the ring and diamond are in use.

Colored diamonds

In recent years, there has been more and more awareness of colored diamonds – something that did not exist in the past. If the default was transparent diamonds, today it is possible to include colored diamonds in an engagement ring that have been colored using unique processes and are beautiful and spectacular. The color scale ranges from transparent to yellowish and goes through special shades of pink and cream. Each color has its own code and it is about the way the diamond is processed – which ultimately affects its price.

Alloy and raw material

Today, engagement rings are available in a wide variety of metals, the most common being 14 karat/18 karat gold/platinum. Gold can be found in several shades and colors (white, yellow and red gold), which basically means mixing gold with another raw material that gives it its color. When the ring tends to be more silvery, it has a high percentage of silver, and if it tends to be more yellow, then gold is the dominant raw material. This metal alloy also affects the final price of the ring.

Choice of design and shape

Since the engagement ring can incorporate designs, engravings, or inlays of diamonds and gemstones, there are countless options for the look of the ring. The circumference of the ring can be round or square, names or a dedication can be engraved on it, the diamond can be small or large, and you can choose between a single diamond and an inlay of many tiny, sparkling stones. This is where the issue of personal design comes into play, as the engagement ring will have enormous importance for the person who wears it and will certainly form a deep emotional connection with it. Therefore, it is important to see several models before making a final decision about the desired model or the inspiration from which you can personally design the engagement ring.
