The most important diamond you will ever own will be your engagement ring. It’s THE ONE. As co-founder of Tesoro Boston I spend a lot of time helping couples choose this most important piece of LOVE! So where to start? How do you choose? Here is my fool-proof way for starting down the path of engagement ring shopping!
Know Your Style!
What’s your style aesthetic? There is a style out there for everyone. If you can’t find something “off the rack,” consider custom as a reasonable alternative. Use Pinterest to save the styles you love!
Know Your Center Stone!
Diamonds are the engagement standard, but feel free to break the mold. An engagement ring can be an eternity band, or can feature a gemstone instead of a diamond. At Tesoro Boston, we’ve crafted custom engagement rings that feature sapphires, morganites, garnets, and black diamonds. The options are endless!
Know Your Budget
Having a clear budget can guide your shopping experience down the right path. It can also help your jeweler narrow down the search! There’s nothing worse than falling in love with a ring you can’t afford. Keep your expectations realistic, and you won’t be disappointed. Spectacular rings can be found in every price range!
Learn the Basics & Choose for Beauty
If a diamond is what you’re after then understanding the 4 C’s is the first place to start. A Diamond Grading Report is also an important tool in guiding your choice. It’s a diamond’s modern day equivalent to a report card. Both tools are important. Learn about them. Better yet, sit down with a trusted jeweler and let them educate you. At Tesoro Boston we do this at our signature Diamond & Design Bar!
After you consider the science of a diamond. Simply LOOK at it! Which one speaks to you? Which diamond do you LOVE? You can’t always choose who you fall in love with, and the same rule applies to diamonds. In short, choose for beauty. You’ll be looking at this exquisite diamond for a long time. Fall in love with what you see!
Trust the Professionals. That’s Why We’re Here!
The most important thing to remember is this: you can’t learn everything about diamonds in the time it takes to purchase an engagement ring! Enter professional here.
Engagement rings and wedding bands symbolize the most important relationship in your life! Who you choose to make those rings are just as important. A jeweler can advise you on your many options and guide you through the process!
“Having an educated expert to guide you is the ultimate, luxury buying experience!”
