6 Steps to Selecting A Diamond Ring in Raleigh, NC

    • Bar Setting

  4. Decide on the metal type.

    The two major types of metals used for an engagement ring are platinum and gold.
    The price gap between a platinum and a gold diamond ring is mostly attribuable to the metal's purity level.
    The platinum diamond ring is normally $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold diamond ring since there is more pure platinum in it. In addition, it is 66% heavier than 14k gold.

      • Platinum

    Platinum has a naturally white metal with a beautiful brilliance that accentuates the brilliance and shine of diamonds or diamond alternatives.

      • Gold

    24 Karat gold is 100 % pure gold. It is, however, too soft to be used in most jewelry. As a result, gold is mixed with other alloys to make it more durable and secure for gemstone settings, such as 18 karat gold (75 % pure gold) and 14 karat gold, which is the most commonly used in fine jewelry (58.3 % pure gold).

  5. Pick the color of the metal band.

    The colors for an engagement ring in gold are white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. The most popular choice for an engagement ring is the white gold.

  6. Find out the finger size needed.

    Hopefully, you already know the right finger size. If not, feel free to use one of our measurement tools to determine the finger size you need. Click here

How to Buy A Diamond Ring in Raleigh, NC?

To avoid any mistakes while buying an engagement ring, you should determine your own budget, select the right seller, and read carefully the return policies available. Read more...

  • Set The Right Budget: How Much Should You Spend?

    You've probably heard about the general guideline that an engagement ring should cost 2 to 3 months of your salary. Also, according to The Knot's 2021 - How Much to Spend on an Engagement Ring, the average American spends $6,000 on an engagement ring. For that reason, there is no such thing as "the perfect" amount to spend on an engagement ring. You should only spend as much as you can afford and consider your own financial condition.
    If you are on a "limited" budget, you should be able to find flexible payment options, 0% APR financing such as Affirm, a layaway plan, or credit payment options.

  • The Best Diamond Alternatives:

    Lab grown and especially lab created diamonds like moissanite, considered the finest alternative to a diamond, cost on average 90% less than diamonds of similar quality (see the 4C’s).
    If you can't buy your "ideal ring" right now, you should consider upgrading your engagement ring at the appropriate date. This is something your jeweler should be able to help you with.

  • Why is purchasing online a better option than purchasing at a brick and mortar store?

    Save money without compromising quality: Traditional retailers face the costs of renting, staffing, and maintaining a storefront. Online retailers do not have to make the same markups and can pass the savings on to customers.
    Larger choice of engagement rings: Visiting several stores in person to look at a small selection of engagement rings would be longer than viewing hundreds of engagement rings styles online.
    Time-saving, 24/7 shopping: When buying an engagement ring online, customers can save a lot of time and money. There's no need to worry about going from one jeweler to the next without knowing if you'll find what you're searching.

  • Virtual shopping experience:

    Nowadays, you can shop virtually from the comfort of your own home or office at any time of day by using Zoom or Facetime and looking for the ideal engagement ring from a largest collection.
    You'll get your selection the next day. You will be protected by a risk-free purchase, free shipping, and an easy return, depending on the merchant you select.

  • Return policy

    Make sure the seller gives a risk-free purchase, certificates, free shipping and returns before making an online purchase.
