Know the existing market price of your engagement ring

After you have bought an engagement ring for your woman, it is now time to know how valuable the jewelry in the market is. That may sound strange to you as you have already bough the ring and think that it is the price. The fact is that you bought the diamond engagement ring not at the market price, but at the deductions. Either you bargained harder for lowering the prices or the jeweler had reduced the prices for different reasons. Or, it could be that you lower the overall costs by designing the ring on your own.

To get the real existing market price of the diamond ring, take services of a professional appraiser. He will assess the jewelry for its quality of diamond, metal and settings and for other features. Then, he will issue you an appraisal certificate that mentions the current market value of the ring. This market value is pure and does not include the deductions that the jeweler offered you. The appraisal certificate helps in selling the ring at good profits in future and in insurance of the diamond engagement ring.

Build your own engagement ring

Sometimes, it is not easier to find an engagement ring of your choice despite searching the shops in your locality. Or, you may prefer a personalize ring to make the occasion a memorable one. You have the option of building your own engagement ring. This can be done in two easy steps. First, choose a right diamond or color gemstone like ruby, emerald and sapphire. Pay attention to the diamond quality.


Then, you should decide if you prefer a solitaire ring or three stone rings and pave or channel set ring. The solitaire involves a single diamond and is expensive. Other rings have more diamonds that are smaller and are less expensive. This is called setting of the diamond on the ring. There are plenty of settings such as prong, bezel, pave, channel, tension etc and each provides a different look to the engagement rings.
