Engagement Rings Boca Raton

3.84 carat Diamond Halo Engagement Ring

We’re here to wind down 2014 and welcome 2015 with 4 quick tips on engagement rings Boca Raton. Buying the perfect ring for that perfect woman can be a challenge not only in finding a ring that you like, but a ring that she will love.

1. Consider future financial goals

Whether you have a wheelbarrow full of cash ready to bring to your local jewelry store or not, your future plans as a couple should be part of the calculus for how much you can afford. Sit down with your partner and go over your short- and long-term financial goals. Beyond wedding expenses, goals could include saving for a down payment on a home, preparing to start a family, as well as retirement planning.

2. Get a fix on expectations

First off, don’t feel compelled to heed to the expectation that a ring cost three months’ salary, the benchmark established by the De Beers diamond cartel. A good way to gauge how much you may have to spend is to find out what kind of ring your would-be spouse is expecting. You could try asking friends and family, but these days it’s increasingly common to see couples browse jewelry stores together to remove the guesswork.

The average carat size for the center stone is just over 1 carat. The average total carat size for engagement rings, including any diamonds on the setting, is 2 carats. So make sure to discuss the expectations before you go searching for engagement rings Boca Raton.

3. Weigh payment options

You’ve had a look at the setting and diamonds (or other gemstones) that your beloved covets, and figured out which merchants offer the best price. The next step is to figure out how you will pay for the ring, as that can be a huge factor in how much ring you can afford.

5. Upgrade later

Even if you determine that you can’t afford as nice a ring as you hoped, consider buying something more modest and popping the question anyway. You can always trade up for a nicer ring in a few years when your financial picture is more established.
