Tips for a Man to Build an Engagement Ring
It is not an easy task for a guy to build
an engagement ring from scratch; however,
most men take the rough with the smooth. So here
is a lowdown to help you build an engagement
ring for
your fair lady.
Find the Exact Ring Size to Build an Engagement Ring
Half the battle to build
an engagement ring is to get one that fits her perfectly.
Either you can ask her what her ring size is in a simple,
straightforward manner. However, if you want to surprise
her then you have to use some devious means. Perhaps
you can secretly borrow one of her rings and hope she
doesn’t
notice. If she does notice, be prepared to spout a white
lie like, "Wait
'till I catch the guy who stole your ring!" Or,
if the straight and narrow is more your style then ask
her parents or siblings for her ring size.
Build an Engagement Ring that is Perfect
You have her ring size, you have decided your budget, now
the real work begins. You need to now determine two things – the
style of the ring as well as the metal type for the setting.
The style of the ring will help you decide how it looks – traditional,
sporty, funky, new-age, etc. The metal for the setting will
determine its look and cost. You can choose to have a ring
that is low-cost yet funky, or something that screeches
elegance and class. Some common engagement ring styles from
Novori are shown below:
Build an Engagement Ring with the Perfect Style:
With a single, classic solitaire you cannot go wrong. If you wish to be a little different, try a solitaire setting with diamond accents or you can even try a solitaire accented by other colorful gems like rubies or sapphires.
If the funky look is your girl’s style then you can opt for a low-cost engagement ring like a permanent tattoo. A simple silver band is also considered in vogue if simplicity is your credo.
Build an Engagement Ring with the Perfect Setting:
You can let your budget determine the ring setting. Silver
is cost-effective, yellow gold is considered traditional,
and white gold shows a quiet understated elegance. If
you are still confused, the best thing to do is keep a
sharp eye out what she prefers. If you see her sporting
steel or silver jewelry then try to choose a white gold
setting. Choose yellow gold if she likes to wear that.
If you want to save on costs, choose yellow gold in 18,
14, or 9ct. Novori Jewelry will custom make your engagement
ring in gold, platinum or palladium.
Build an Engagement Ring with a Diamond Accented Setting:
If you want some diamonds to surround the main solitaire
diamond then you want a diamond accented setting in the
ring. Since these smaller diamonds accent the main one,
it is known as a diamond accented setting. The surrounding
diamonds can be round or baguettes – the latter
just have a flat surface and set flush with the band of
the ring. You may be surprised at how little these smaller
diamonds cost and how much they add to the look of the
ring.
Follow Your Instincts to Build an Engagement Ring
Don’t let the technicalities bog you down. Follow
your instincts. Who knows your girl better than you? Remeber
that she is in love with you and not the ring. The important
thing is that you took time and trouble to select and build
the engagement ring – and that should be the
most important thing for anyone who truly loves you. If
