Like marriage, engagement rings are made to last a lifetime. While they can be upgraded or replaced, they nonetheless signal maturity, romance, and commitment. Many fantasize about their first engagement ring and the relationship it symbolizes. They may get so excited that they head to a jewelry website and order the ring before trying it on. This is a huge mistake. Learn why with Rumanoff’s team.
Realize the Importance of Size
It’s essential that the ring fits. A loose ring can slip off with ease, and they are not easy to find. If a ring is too tight, it can cut off circulation to the finger, which can result in anything from discomfort to nerve damage. Trying on a ring in-person guarantees that you will get a ring that suits you perfectly.
While it’s possible to measure a finger at home, it’s impossible to be completely sure without the help of a professional. Moreover, rings can warp in shipment from temperature changes. To make matters yet more complicated, finger sizes can change due to weight loss and other factors.
Compare a Pair
While it’s quicker to compare multiple rings online, it’s impossible to fully grasp their differences unless it’s in person. For example, take a pair of side stone engagement rings with diamond pave settings flanking the center stone. The pictures will not be able to convey the size and length of the pave, which is important for those in search of a particularly glamorous ring.
If it’s your first time shopping, it may be difficult to visualize the differences between pieces with ornate metalwork. While you may enjoy the split shank bands of multiple pieces, it’s not easy to discern their exact differences without seeing their width and depth.
Light is Bright
Digital light does not look the same as real light. A photo of a gemstone will never accurately show the way light reflects from the jewel’s polished facets. Pictures simply cannot reveal the magnificent hallway of mirrors effect offered by the emerald cut diamond, or the distinct brilliance of a classic round diamond.
In order to fully comprehend the beauty of gemstones, one must see them in person. Taking into account halos, side stones, paves, channels, and three stones, there is an enormous variety of radiant displays that can only be found in real life.
