Guide to choosing the right wedding ring
Choosing an engagement ring is a big event for many people and it is not always easy to know which one to choose or which one you can afford. If you have decided that you want an alliance ring as an engagement ring, then you have come a long way. At Schalins, we want you to find the perfect ring for you and your personal style.
To find the perfect engagement ring for you, it is necessary to consider some important factors that will guide you in your choice:
- Budget : There are alliance rings in different price ranges. It can therefore be good to review your budget in advance and decide how much you can think of spending on the engagement ring. In this way, it becomes easier to sift through the large range of rings and you don't risk the price tag dragging you away.
- Stones : The next step is to decide on the diamonds in the ring, the number of stones and the ring setting. Diamonds are very hard and durable with a unique luster and sparkling elegance.
- Metal : What metal do you want the ring to be made of? Choose the metal that best suits your personal taste. Do you prefer the classic red gold or the crisp white gold. If you are allergic, platinum may be the choice for you.
- Ring Width : The width of the ring is another important factor when it comes to ring design. Think about whether you want a wider ring that gives a stronger impression, or whether you want a pretty and narrow ring. A narrow ring may be recommended if you intend to combine the alliance ring with a larger ring, for example a ring with a large diamond.
- Comfort and size : How does the ring feel on the finger and how heavy is it? Comfort is an important aspect to consider as you will probably be wearing the ring daily. Also measure your ring size to ensure that the ring is made in the correct size.
Finally, choose the engagement ring that you think will suit you or your partner's personal style best, based on your budget. The engagement ring should hopefully be worn with pride for the rest of your life and it is therefore important that you feel satisfied and that it matches your personality and your love story.
