The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Moissanite Engagement Ring

Picking an Engagement Ring can be one of the most important decisions a person can make in their entire lives. A symbol of your love to your partner you’d like to spend the rest of your life with sounds stressful enough, but it becomes even more so when you don’t know anything about Jewelry! This guide is here to help, in case you might need a little guidance. 

Step 1: Know your Budget

There is no one right price or value for an engagement ring, because every couple is unique, and have their own shared values. There is no common formula to determine what might be “good enough”, it all depends on the couple, and what they determine is best in their relationship. With that said, a symbolic Engagement can cost a mere fifty dollars, while the high end Diamond Engagement rings can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Knowing how much you expect to spend can make all the difference in planning your own engagement to be special and unique.

Step 2: Consider your gemstone

An Engagement Ring can be made with a variety of gemstones as couples have started to opt for non-traditional gemstones to celebrate their engagement. Although Diamonds are the most common, there are many couples who decide on Moissanite for its affordability, as it is nearly identical to a Diamond for a fraction of the cost. Sapphire, Rubies and Emeralds have also become popular for Engagement Rings as a non-traditional gemstone which encapsulates the unique love which becomes just as special as a Diamond.

Step 3: Consider the Metal

Rings commonly come in four different precious metals: Sterling Silver, White Gold, Yellow Gold, and Rose Gold. You may find any number of different bands, but these are the most common and you’ll most easily find the right style for your partner in these three metals. For affordability and a classic style, Sterling Silver is the way to go. For a couple that loves the color of Silver but prefers to have gold, White Gold would be the best choice, making it a common metal for Engagement Rings. Yellow Gold is another classic color and contrasts with the brilliance of a white Diamond, if you want the classic look of Gold, you can’t go wrong with this metal. Lastly Rose Gold is a unique metal with contrast beautifully with all gemstones, showing a pale pink, Rose Gold rings are special and beautiful and can carry the vibe of any gemstone, no matter what you choose.

Step 4: Know your Ring Size

Nothing is going to beat that one singular moment, when your partner puts on their ring for the first time, signifying the beginning of your lives together. When you both finally get to that moment that you both have been waiting for, the ring had better fit! So find a way to figure it out discreetly, or together if you wish.

Step 5: Know your Ring Style

Often, people use jewelry to define their style and express themselves, and Engagement Ring is no different. Just as you’d want your ring to fit, you also want it to feel like it embodies your personality and relationship as well. The best way of determining your partner’s particular style is to examine the jewelry that they already own. Do they prefer a simple minimalistic Solitaire Ring, or do they prefer accent stones to enhance the look of their bands? What stone shape is their favorite, do they prefer a simple Round or Oval stone, or do they love unique shapes like Heart gemstones? Put in a little bit of work (and listen to their hints!), and they’ll be ecstatic with their own special ring that symbolizes your shared love.

With these 5 steps, you’ll be able to choose the perfect ring for your partner. Don’t forget that this is a ring that will connect your lives forever, so it's best not to rush into it and make sure you have everything covered. Love comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. The perfect engagement ring for her might feel like finding a needle in a haystack, but that perfect combination is there, just as you and your partner make the perfect combination.
