Select the Stone

Choosing the right stone for your ring can be quite tricky, especially from the variety of precious gems that are available. People normally choose diamonds for their engagement rings, there’s no restriction as such you can choose any stone you like.  

Prioritize the 4Cs

If you’re going to get a diamond ring then you must decide the 4Cs beforehand. The 4Cs include; cut, clarity, colour and carat. Without having knowledge of the 4Cs you can’t purchase a good quality diamond ring.

From the 4Cs the cut is the most important one as the sparkle of your diamond depends on it. The cut of a diamond plays a major role in determining its price as well. 

The clarity refers to the amount of impurity present in a diamond. Obviously, pure diamonds clear of impurities will definitely cost a lot. Whereas, colour shows the quality of light a diamond reflects; it ranges from D (colourless) to Z (Yellowish Tint). Diamonds are of many colours while some of these may be regarded as “fancy”. Normal colour shades can decrease the price of a diamond whereas a fancy colour can exponentially increase it. An example can of the flawless red diamond. 

Select the Stone Setting

After deciding the metal, stone, and cuts for your stone the next crucial step is to choose a setting. Consider your style then choose the stone setting accordingly. A pro tip is to try on rings with different settings and choose the one that suits you the most. You can choose from an array of settings i.e. solitaire, prong, bezel, pave, halo, three-stone etc.

Select Your Budget Range:

Last but not the least, set a budget range for yourself based on how much you’re willing to spend. Set out a rough estimate of the minimum and the maximum amount you are willing to spend. Then start searching for your rings within that price range at online jewellery shops in Dubai.
