How To Shop For Engagement Rings?

Are you getting ready to propose and struggling to find the perfect engagement ring for your partner? Or maybe you have decided that you want to pick the ring yourself but are struggling with which one is the best fit for you. Buying an engagement ring is an exciting process but it can also be quite nerve-wracking. 


This purchase is emotional and it will symbolize the love you have for your partner so you want to make sure that it is the right one. Not only that, but you or your partner will be seeing it on a daily basis so you want to be sure it is liked as well. To shop for the perfect engagement ring, you will just need a little bit of extra knowledge and with these tips, you will be sure to get the right one. 

Decide On Your Carat Size

One of the first things you will need to do is decide on the carat size of your ring. This is in large part due to the fact that the price of the engagement ring will largely be based on the number of carats - that is the size of the diamond. Once you have this decided, you can narrow down your search. This might be something that doesn’t matter to you or your partner and figuring that out can be helpful.

Find Your Ring Size

Some jewelry stores have different-sized rings but others will only have rings in one size. If you are planning on buying a ring the minute you walk into the store, it will be helpful to know your ring size. Otherwise, you might have to get your ring ordered, which can be more expensive and take more time. By knowing your size, you narrow down your search to only look at the rings that are available in your size. 

Consider The Price

Decide your budget and stick to it. Engagement rings are pricey but having a budget will help you when it comes to deciding between rings. If you set a budget ahead of time, you will know which rings you can definitely afford without spending too much time looking at rings that are out of your budget.

Find Out What Metal The Ring Will Be

Does your partner prefer white or yellow gold? Do they like silver or rose gold best? Knowing these things is essential when shopping for engagement rings. 


Shopping for an engagement ring can be intimidating but once you figure out the answers to the basic important questions, you will be on your way to finding the perfect ring for you or your partner.  At Mervis Diamond Importers, you can count on excellent advice to help select the perfect diamond and engagement ring.
