Wedding Engagement Ring

When you are thinking about purchasing your wedding engagement rings, as well as stones and metal, there are several other important factors to consider:

Style and practicality:
Although few brides wish to think practically when designing their engagement ring, style and comfort will play a huge part in the ring that you will wear for the rest of your life. If you are someone who is known to be rough with their jewellery, or perhaps you work in a job that might require more sensible jewellery. For example jobs such as nursing where you are handling patients, or textiles where you are handling delicate fabrics might require you to consider an engagement ring that don’t sit up high and won’t be “catchy”

Types of settings:
Similar to above, you need to think about which kind of settings might be safer for the work that you do, and also for the type of gemstone that you select.

Where to buy:
There are many places to purchase your engagement ring. These days you can buy online, at a chain store or have your engagement ring handmade. Whilst buying online and buying stock from a store generally allows you to receive your engagement ring quicker, there is something special about having your ring individually made by a jeweller, knowing that it is the only one of its kind.

Antique rings:
Antique engagement rings are a great way to enjoy the sentiment of an heirloom piece. You must however consider that antique engagement rings have generally already had a life time or wear and tear, and it is important to get them checked by a jeweller for any repairs that might need doing. This will ensure that you will get another lifetime of wear out of this treasure.
 
Valuation for insurance:
It is important to get a valuation of your engagement ring if you wish to insure it. Please note that many insurance companies do not include jewellery in their home and contents insurance.

Environmentally friendly:
Few jewellers can tell you where the gold and stones from your ring have come from. Kate Shore prides herself on using recycled gold where possible, as well as conflict free gemstones. It is important to consider the impact that your engagement ring will have upon the earth. For more information about this you can visit here (link to studio)
 
Fitted Wedding Rings:
Most brides will want to wear their wedding ring next to their engagement ring, but also have the option of wearing their wedding ring alone. This is important to think about when you are designing your engagement ring, because some designs will not allow a flat wedding band to sit tightly next to an engagement ring. A fitted wedding ring can be designed to be shaped around the engagement ring, or a setting can be made to allow a wedding ring to sit up next to it.
