1 No rush
The first consideration, which also applies to other items that involve considerable expense, is that haste produces bad advice. Unless you are very lucky, choosing a ring at first glance is often the worst idea. Two months of scouting are recommended to be able to look for the right ring: compare the prices and models offered by different jewelers. And if you want to stay updated on the news, be sure to follow gioiellis.com.

2 Take the time to compare prices and models
Fortunately, the Internet allows you to consult who can provide information on models, prices and characteristics of the rings (we are talking about gioiellis.com of course) without leaving home. So, use the web to get an idea. But beware: nothing can replace the impression in the real world. A ring that looks wonderful in a photo may turn out to be less attractive when viewed up close. In any case, many jewelry companies also offer an online sales service: ideal for getting an idea of the models and prices of the rings. Today the classic solitaire in white gold with four prongs and a diamond is no longer mandatory. Variations on the theme can also be chosen.

3 Choose the right month
When it comes to engagement, the hot season is the cold one, that is, between November and March. Weddings, on the other hand, are celebrated more often in the warm months, from spring to autumn. It is obvious that jewelers are well aware of this cyclical trend and tend to keep prices higher in the months when there is greater demand. That said, no engagement should be postponed to wait for the most convenient month. Take this into consideration.

4 Keep in mind the delays
Do not think that a jeweler has all the measures and all the models of a ring: there are variables such as the circumference, or the weight of the diamond. It may take some time before delivery of the selected jewelry. Another good reason not to choose the ring at the last moment.

5 Do not believe the balances
There are jewelers or online companies trying to entice customers with amazing offers and discounts. Do not fall into the trap: if a ring is of good quality it is not sold at a discount. There are no sales in the jewelry of a certain level. Although, of course, large jewelry companies may have an interest in emptying the shelves of a particular collection that needs to be replaced. In that case, the jewelry may be offered at a lower price. But that’s not what happens often. Indeed, the most fortunate and successful collections tend to have stable or rising prices.

6 Take the time to read the instructions
Yes, the jewelry may have instructions. Or, rather, a description. A diamond ring will also have a certificate describing the quality of the stone. Given that 90% of the cost of a ring is determined by the type of diamond that mounts, it is good to spend a few minutes to read the certificate of authenticity, which also shows the features that are not seen with the naked eye. They are the ones that determine the price of a stone, and therefore, its value. You do not know how to decipher codes G, H or Vs1? Please print driving fast you find here.  And good luck!

How much do you have to spend on the engagement ring? What do women expect? Which kind of ring to choose? A research reveals that… ♦

How much should you spend on an engagement ring, which in most cases is the classic solitaire, that is, a gold ring with a small diamond? There is only one answer: it obviously depends on the financial availability, the tastes of him and her, the expectations, the family tradition … But some indications can be useful.

For example, it is possible to know what women expect when they think their partner is about to make a big step, that is, the request for marriage, combined with the ring. A research published time ago in Great Britain by the professional magazine Professional Jeweler can serve to understand what female expectations are. Of course, there may be small variations from one country to another, but in general the results should be confirmed everywhere.

The price. In the common opinion, the cost of an engagement ring is the equivalent of one month of an average salary. The amount varies, therefore, from one country and from one city to another, but the economic commitment that the fiancé and future husband has to face is more or less the same: demanding, but not such as to end in bankruptcy. Of course, you have to save money on time. In Britain, for example, the average monthly wage was calculated at £ 1,990. In Italy, on the other hand, the average income for an employee is (2017 data) of 1,590 euros per month. In Germany, on the other hand, it exceeds € 3,000. So this is the average expense for an engagement ring. We. The reality is different: the data indicate that, in fact, the equivalent of 50-60% of a monthly salary is spent on an engagement ring.

What do women want? The aforementioned survey was conducted in Britain on a sample of 2000 future brides. Will the needs be the same in all countries? Maybe. They are probably not exactly the same, but similar, yes. Therefore, research indicates that women expect a ring spending of 20-25% lower than that of a month’s wages. To summarize: women expect a higher value than what they actually receive if one takes into account the average spending made in jewelry.

The choice of the model. Another interesting piece of research concerns the shape of the ring. In fact, there is no single opinion. Certainly, however, 77% of women would prefer to be the one to choose the shape of the engagement ring. To guess the right shape, in short, it is better to probe tastes and expectations first. It is not easy, but it is necessary, also to avoid bitter disappointments: 75% of men are saddened or annoyed if women propose to change the model of engagement ring received. In short, it seems that there is no other solution than to inquire first. Another aspect: 69% of women prefer the overall quality of the ring to the simple size of the diamond. In this case, in short, size does not matter. Lavinia Andorno

2 Decide the budget

After choosing what kind of ring you like, color, size and shape, think about how much you want to spend.

To determine the price are also the carat, ie how many is pure gold (18-karat means that 75% of the metal is composed of gold, the remainder of other materials such as silver or nickel). Less carats are declared (for example, 14 or 9 carats) and less expensive it will be the ring. But also it spoils more easily. Even the brand’s choice affect much on the cost of a ring: companies with well-known brands, on the other hand, usually offer more guarantees on what you buy.
