Choosing a Bridal Engagement Ring Set

By Katie Feuz - Executive Summary

Engagement Ring Set from Zales

An engagement set consists of the central engagement ring and a coordinating wedding band. Once you have got that down, know the following guidelines before you begin your search for the perfect engagement ring set.

Style -The style of the ring should emulate the style and personality of your fiance. Pay attention to what type of jewelry she wears.

Picking a Jeweler -Try jewelers that are accredited by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the Jewelers of America. A good, reputable jeweler will steer clear of rings you cannot afford and help you cut costs while remaining true to your vision.

Shape & Setting - The shape of the diamond refers to the actual form of the diamond, not the cut which indicates the facets of the stone. The setting is the metal structure in which the diamond is placed.

Budget -You can cut costs a number of ways including buying a diamond just under a carat (0.8 instead of 1) or choosing a setting that has a little larger surface, or table; the ring will look much larger than it really is if the stone is not set very deep.

The Perfect Bridal Engagement Ring Set

By Audrey Cave - Execuive Summary

It is very common now for the bride and groom to choose the rings together. Consider if you want a custom ring or an already finished ring. Decide if you want matching rings or not. A custom ring is more unique, which women prefer. If you want a truly unique ring, try browsing at antique stores

Universally, when choosing the gem, it is the diamond. This is because a diamond is the hardest gemstone and most versatile. In Western culture the diamond is a symbol of virtue, wealth, and fortune, as well as eternal love. A good jeweler company is essential to choosing a ring that lasts. They should be able to explain your options for the kind of metals and gems available. They should know that the traditional choice of rings are white gold and platinum. The final factor is of course the cost. Traditionally, a bridal engagement ring costs two month’s pay, but that is adjustable to you.
