  4. Decide on the metal type.

    The two major types of metals used for an engagement ring are platinum and gold.
    The difference in price between a platinum and a gold unique engagement ring is primarily attribuable to the metal's purity level.
    The platinum unique engagement ring is commonly $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold unique engagement 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 increases 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 common engagement ring colors of gold are white, yellow, and rose. White gold is the most popular choice for an engagement ring

  6. Find out the finger size needed.

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

How to Buy A Unique Engagement Ring in Raleigh, NC?

To eliminate any mistakes while acquiring an engagement ring, you should set your own budget, pick the right seller, and pay a careful attention to the return policies available. Read more...

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

    You've probably heard about the rule of thumb 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. Therefore, there is no such thing as "the appropriate" amount to spend on an engagement ring. You should only spend as much as you can afford and consider your personal financial status.
    If you are on a "small" 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 such as moissanite, considered the best alternative to a diamond, cost on average 90% less than diamonds of comparable 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 buying online a better option than buying at a brick and mortar store?

    Spend less money without reducing the 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: It would take much more time to visit several stores in person to look at a limited selection of engagement rings than it would take to view hundreds of engagement ring styles online.
    Time-saving, 24/7 shopping: Customers can save a lot of time and money by buying an engagement ring online. There is no more worry anymore to go from one jeweler to the next without guarantee to find what you are 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 buying the most perfect 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

    Before buying online, make sure the seller guarantees: risk-free purchase; certificates; free shipping and returns

  • How to choose the right seller in Raleigh, NC?

    Check the seller's reputation and reviews. Verify the authenticity of his certificate from the Gemologist Institutes (GIA, IGI, GRA), Charles & Colvard, or Venazia. You should also conduct some research on complaints (B.B.B; Better Business Bureau) and determine whether his reviews are genuine based on real customer experience.

At Venazia, we are working closely with our customers to make the process of selecting the ideal unique engagement ring easy.
