Choosing The Perfect Engagement Ring
29/6/2017
It is a wonderful and exciting time embarking on your search for a beautiful engagement ring, but it can also be daunting! There are so many styles and options. At Lacy's we like to try to keep things simple, classic and good quality. We have narrowed down the most important considerations when choosing your engagement ring to just three things. Your style, your lifestyle and somewhat unfortunately (but realistically!) your budget. StyleAre you a simple, classic girl? You might opt for a solitary diamond. Remember there are so many lovely shapes to choose from. Do you love traditional styles and all things vintage? Perhaps a halo, or Art Deco style is for you. Maybe you just love having pieces that are original and unique? You might consider a coloured stone such as a sapphire, ruby, aquamarine or even opal. "At this point Pinterest can be your friend" If you find yourself constantly coming back to the same or similar styles, changes are, that this will be what you always love! Follow your heart! LifestyleIt is important to consider the day to day wear and tear that your ring might need to endure. Do you love to get your hands dirty in the garden? Maybe a strong diamond in a low, secure setting is for you! Are you someone who takes your jewellery off the moment you get home to keep it clean and unmarked? You will definitely be able to look after a more delicate style. Diamonds have traditionally been a popular gemstone for engagement rings both due to their incredible sparkle and beauty, but also because they are incredibly strong! Other gemstones that stand up well to the long years of marriage include sapphires and Rubys, but will sometimes show signs of wear over time. BudgetIt is important to take into consideration what you can realistically spend, but do bear in mind, your engagement ring will be with you for many years to come. It's sitting there on your finger reminding you of the beautiful commitment you have made. At Lacy's we recommend quality. A beautiful, good quality bright diamond will always look stunning. We would always recommend quality over size. However if your budget is tight, there are always options if you still are looking for a 'flashy' ring. Have you ever considered the earthy, golden tones of a champagne diamond? We just love taking the time to discuss options with our customers and guiding you through this important decision. Have a little fun and don't be frightened to express your individuality. Chances are one of the first rings you try on or 'pin' will end up being very close to what you pick. It is such a joyful decision!
