Gabriel & Co. White Gold Contemporary Halo Engagement Ring

Are you ready to propose to the girl of your dreams? If yes, the best way to buy an engagement ring she will love and cherish is to let her pick it out for herself. We are not saving to bring her with you to the jewelry store but you need to know what suits her lifestyle. Here at Charles Nusinov & Sons we understand the importance of surprising her with the engagement ring.

Here are some tips to help you buy the engagement ring of her dreams:

Pay Attention To Her Jewelry Style

If you do not know about her jewelry likes and dislikes, it will be a challenge for you to narrow down engagement ring selections.

To resolve this problem, first find out her favorite metal color. The majority of women have a definite preference. For example, if the love of your life prefers white gold or platinum, do not buy her a diamond engagement ring or stone with a yellow, gold ring setting.

Look at the kind of jewelry she loves to wear. Is it bold and daring?  Does she like vintage rings? Or does she prefer classic jewelry that gives the air of timeless pieces that never go out of style.

Always look at jewelry she loves to wear on a full time basis rather than occasionally. The more she wears a piece of jewelry, indicates how comfortable she feels with it.

If this task seems challenging, take her to the jewelry store.

Let Her Shop For Her Ring.

You can steer her to the jewelry store by saying you’re looking for a new watch or you’re considering buying someone you both know a watch. Find a way to get close to the engagement ring counter. This will give her the opportunity to point out engagement rings she loves or her favorite jewelry styles.

If your lady does not like diamonds, you can always purchase a ring that includes sapphires or rubies.

Notice the shapes she preferences in her ring selection as well. Does she like round diamonds? Does she like oval ring, pear-shaped stones or emerald cut diamonds? These are questions you need to find answers to get a feel for what she will love.

She may like a solitaire diamond.

Next, Find Out Her Ring Size.

If you can’t take a ring from her and bring it to a jeweler for her exact size, get a friend or family member to get a hold of one temporarily so you may get it sized.

If you, a friend, or family member can’t find her ring size, propose to her with a loose diamond. You can always shop later with her for the perfect engagement ring setting.

How To Buy Jewelry Gifts Easily During The Holiday Season

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

When buying jewelry for a loved one, it can be a stressful task. If you need some help in buying jewelry a loved one can cherish for years to come, we are here to help with jewelry buying tips. Read the guide below.

Buy For Quality, not Quantity

 To buy jewelry that will last for years to come, you need to be informed about the types of metal used to make jewelry stunning. The most commonly used jewelry materials are gold, sterling silver and platinum. When you see jewelry that says gold, it means it is pure gold or 24 karat gold. 24 karat gold is often mixed with other metals to make it durable, since it is considered a soft metal. If jewelry says 14 karat gold, this means 14 parts of the jewelry is made of gold and the 10 other parts will be base metal. The higher the karat, the more gold the jewelry piece as in it.

Sterling silver has 92.5% silver. This is usually marked as 925 if pure silver. Platinum is a natural, white metal. It is considered strong, durable and resistant for corrosion. It is a great material for rings.

Choosing Necklaces

 Make sure you choose the correct length, if buying a necklace for someone. Necklaces come in 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 28 inches. Know the person you are buying a gift for preference of length:

Ø 16 inches is choker length.

Ø 18 inches is collarbone.

Ø 20 inches is below the collarbone.

Ø 22 inches is above neckline.

Ø 24 inches is below neckline.

Ø 28 inches is around the bustline.

 A long necklace will work well with square or round face people. If someone is a short person, then it will add height to the person’s frame. If someone has a long neck, then a choker might look best. It is all about preference.
