Whether you want to buy a coffin ring, a gothic ring or any other ring type, shopping for an engagement ring can be one of the most exciting things you can do in your life. Making informed decisions for your ring goes beyond investing in carat, cut, colour and clarity (4Cs). But between independent designers, online retailers and high-end luxury jewellers, getting the right engagement ring can be overwhelming. Just like any other major purchase, you should never underestimate the importance of looking for proper certification. You should ensure that your ring comes with its receipt and certificate.
It takes patience to navigate the work of expensive stones. You will also need assistance and knowledge. Thankfully, you can notice issues before they arise. If you understand what mistakes to look out for, you will be able to plan for them early. Here are some common mistakes you should avoid.
Going at it alone
The chances of getting the right ring are greatly increased when you go with a friend. You can get better deals with the help of someone you trust. When choosing a companion for your ring search, make sure you choose someone who knows your beloved well. You should also walk with someone who understands the jewellery industry. You need to have someone who will make you feel like they are working on your behalf and your only purpose is to advocate for finding the best ring quality at the best price.
In case you are buying coffin rings online, you should also consult someone who has experience in buying rings online. There are numerous online jewellery shops and finding the right online store that sells high-quality rings at a fair price can be difficult. You should also be aware of those sites that sell counterfeit rings.
Going into debt for a ring
We understand that everyone feels great wearing an expensive ring. However, this doesn’t mean that you go beyond your means to get a ring. Before you begin shopping for a ring, you should make sure you have a budget for the ring. Don’t go beyond your budget and borrow money from your bank and friends just to buy an engagement ring. If your fiancé loves you, she won’t put you through much pressure to get her an expensive ring. You can work within your budget and still get an amazing ring for your loved one.
Focusing on certification
Most people use the 4Cs criteria when shopping for a ring. However, buyers should remember that a ring is so much more than its statistics. You shouldn’t rely on certification alone when buying a ring. However, confirm if the ring is certified.
Certification is just one of the many aspects you should look out for when buying a coffin ring for your fiancé. However, a ring can be certified but if you don’t choose it with the wearer in mind, you will be doing zero work and you might get back to the first spot to look for another ring.
