Buying jewelry, be it necklaces, bracelets or rings , is usually recreational and many people do not spend time thinking about which one to buy; However, there are pieces that should not be bought so lightly, such is the case of Wedding rings .

Although we all know the purpose of an engagement ring , when the boyfriend or girlfriend comes looking for one for their partner, they tend to have many questions; Although the Matrimony team has the experience to help you choose the best engagement ring, it is important that you know a little more about them beforehand, don’t you think?

That is why we have developed this article, so that you can choose the best engagement ring for your partner and even when you get to ask for models, have an idea of ​​what you are looking for with Teck Hustlers.

Usually, many people carry out a previous investigation when arriving at the store in search of the perfect engagement ring , and for this reason they indicate their budget so that our team can show them those that are within that range.

However, if you are just considering the idea of ​​​​proposing to your partner and you want to know the price range of engagement rings , then here we show you some:

● Engagement rings with zircons

Engagement rings with zirconia are those that use a synthetic stone that simulates a diamond or natural stone . These zirconias are much cheaper than a diamond and they achieve their objective in a very good way, since only a trained eye or with certain tools could distinguish between a diamond and a zirconia.

The price of these engagement rings lies mainly in the material with which the ring is made and not so much in the stone that it has, since being zirconias, the price of these is very low.

● Diamond engagement rings

Traditional engagement rings are those that have diamonds as a decorative stone . Although they may seem like they are expensive, we want to tell you that they are not necessarily; since you can find them with us from approximately 5 thousand pesos to the most extravagant and fine you want.

However, as you can see, even diamonds can be accessible for any budget; so, if you were getting used to the idea that your ring could not have them, do not worry, of course they can.

● Engagement rings with colored gems

On the other hand, lately some engagement rings that have been booming are those with gems , be they sapphires, emeralds or rubies; Although these are generally cheaper than diamonds, there are also very fine colored gemstones that can be as priced as or even more than the most refined diamonds. A lot will depend on your taste, your partner’s and the budget you have.

Another frequently asked question is how to know what size engagement ring to choose , especially since most want it to fit perfectly, but not all people know their partner’s ring size . Next, we are going to present some tips to get you closer to the correct size:

The first thing you should take into account is that usually our muscles, over the course of the day, become inflamed, especially in the afternoon or night, this is due to the wear and tear of the activities that we carry out day by day. However, this inflammation allows us to make sure that the ring that we are going to buy for our partner is not going to squeeze him at the end of the day.

The size of the rings is obtained based on the centimeters of diameter and circumference ; that is, if someone has a ring with a diameter of 1.65 cm left, it is size 6 . The problem with this is that it is not easy to simply measure your partner’s finger without suspecting something about it. That is why we have these two tips for you.

1.- Print our ring size chart and place one of your partner’s rings in each circle until it fits. Or you can also make circles on cardboard whose diameter corresponds to each ring size .

2.- Take one of your partner’s rings and take it to a jeweler who can tell you the correct size.

Here are the main ways you can get someone’s ring size without them realizing it.

Since you have your budget and the size of the ring that you are going to buy, it is time to start looking at models and types of engagement rings that your partner may like; For this we bring you a list of the different types of engagement rings that you can find.

This type of ring allows the diamond to stand out in addition to adapting to any type of diamond cut regardless of its size ; One of the most requested cuts for this ring is the round cut.

2.- Ring with halo or halo

This is another popular type of engagement ring on the market. The halo engagement ring is characterized by having small diamonds around the main diamond .

How are engagement rings personalized?

Many people still do not know that you can make your own engagement ring with a completely unique design, which is why many ask us how to make a personalized ring . Next, we are going to show you the steps that our team follows to achieve it:

1.- Reference

The first thing we need is that you provide us with a photo, design or sketch of the ring that you would like to have.

2.- 3D design

Once our team has it, we begin to develop a 3D design of your engagement ring . When the rendering is finished, it is shown to the client so that they can review how the ring will look, from the size of the stone, its dimensions and the cut; in this way, the necessary adjustments can be made so that you are completely satisfied with the result.

3.- Printing

When the design is approved, we print it in a castable wax, which will be used to make a mold into which the liquid metal will be injected. At Matrimony we only work with 9k, 14k, 18k gold, or platinum .

4.- Detailed

Once you have the ring, we will detail it, this means that it will go through a polishing process; Likewise, in this step we are going to assemble the stones to be able to give you the perfect engagement ring .

Since you know more about the whole world of engagement rings , we want to tell you about the different metals that are used for the setting and the ring; The best known are the different shades of gold, but here are others:

1.- Gold

Another popular one is gold . As you know, the natural form of this precious metal has a yellow hue ; however, it can be found in other colors such as white gold or rose gold , which we will talk about in a moment.

First of all, there is yellow gold ; It is also timeless and can last a lifetime in perfect condition. This type of hue is achieved by mixing 24 karat gold with a bit of silver and copper .

As for white gold, this type of metal is achieved with a mixture of pure gold with zinc, silver, nickel, palladium, among others to achieve that emblematic color.

And finally, rose gold also has the same mix as yellow, the only thing that varies is the amount of copper , which gives it that characteristic hue.

2.- Platinum

Platinum is another material that is becoming popular, this is because it is a metal that tends to resemble white gold, in addition to the fact that platinum is one of the materials that allow you to personalize your engagement ring , as well as the engraving of some message.

Finally, we are going to share some of the frequently asked questions that most of the clients who come to look for their engagement ring ask us , in case you have them, do not remain in doubt or do not have to continue investigating.

On which hand and finger does the engagement ring go?

We all know that the finger it should go on is the ring finger , hence its name; If you do not locate it, it is the one next to the little finger, that is, the little finger. However, do you know in which hand it should be placed?

According to the Romans, the ring finger of the left hand has a vein that goes directly to the heart, which they named Vena Amoris ; and since the heart symbolizes love, for this reason an engagement ring should be worn on the finger with a direct line to it.

Difference between engagement ring and promise ring

On the other hand, there are those who come to ask us if an engagement ring is the same as a promise ring , here much is left to the couple’s decision. However, the promise ring tends to symbolize more of the love that exists between them .

While an engagement ring is more traditional and this one symbolizes the commitment and the transition from courtship to fiancés or fiances , and later to marriage , as it is known in Anglo-Saxon countries.

How many rings are given in a relationship?

There are also people who think that the engagement ring is the same as the wedding ring, or as the promise ring, but this is wrong. The engagement ring is only received by one person; however, the wedding rings or alliances are given in the ceremony and each party has their own.

In addition, we must clarify that the promise rings are entirely at the choice of the person , and are usually given when someone is born since, as we mentioned, it represents the love that one part of the couple feels for the other.

After how long is the engagement ring given?

Finally, there are those who come to tell us that they have been with their partner for one or two years and want to know how long it should take to give them the engagement ring ; however, this is also a personal decision.

Because? Because there are couples who spend 6 months, 1 year or maybe 8 years and until that moment they decide to get married and ask for marriage and that’s fine, there is no rule as such that indicates that after a certain time you must commit.
