Best Tips for Buying the Perfect Wedding Ring

When you are about to choose the perfect wedding ring or trouwringen, it is quite difficult to make a choice. Sometimes, the model that you like is too expensive, or if you have the available money you still can't find something that you can "love" in an instant. The following are a few tips that will definitely help you take your decision much easier and much quicker:

• Start your shopping spree with a budget in mind- your personal available budget is very important when you go out shopping for those beautiful rings. However, keep in mind that the entire wedding is not only about the rings, so you will need quite some budget to be spent on other details too. If you know from the start how much you can afford to spend, you will not step over that threshold.

• Decide on the type, style and material of the juwelier you are going to buy. The so called "mainstream" wedding rings are made of 14 k yellow gold, but if you want something truly special, you should definitely choose an 18k yellow and white gold combination style ring (such as a beautiful braided patterned one).

• The stone. Most of the wedding rings today come with a stone setting, such as a round cut or princess cut diamond. For example, you could choose a pair of wedding rings, of the same style and same patterns for both him and her, with the difference that the women's rings will have a nice stone setting. Trouwringen with precious stones such as diamonds are indeed a little bit more expensive, but they will bear that special spark and uniqueness you are looking for when choosing a set of wedding bands.

• Always choose to buy your jewelry from a high profile jeweler. This is very important, because you want to buy high quality rings that are accompanied by a certificate of quality.

• Shop smartly. Make sure to comparison shop before deciding where to buy the rings from. It may happen that the price differences from one jeweler to the other are quite big.

• Get the GIA certification. When buying wedding rings with diamonds, make sure they are accompanied by such documents, which attest that the juwelier is made of 100% natural material and that it hasn't been treated in any way. There are several tips and tricks that jewelers know and will use; in order to make a diamond appear much clearer than it is in reality, the diamonds can be treated with a special laser. However, the GIA certificate will prove that the stone is genuine and that no changes have been made to it.
