How To Buy An Engagement Ring (A.S.T. Jewellery)

SEVAN Said:

Before proposing marriage, most men have an idea of how they plan to proceed: a romantic setting, a simple question, and hopefully, a positive response; most have no idea how to buy an engagement ring. They picture the engagement ring: a stunning piece of jewelry that lets her know how much they care and sweeps her off her feet. Where this idealistic fantasy breaks down, however, is that many men don\’t know that buying an engagement ring is a far more involved process than going to a jeweler with a hefty wallet. Knowing how to buy an engagement ring makes the process far simpler.

 

The first step toward buying a qualiity engagement ring  is education. All rings look lovely in the store, but by knowing basic quality standards as well as the bride\’s expectations, you guarantee that the ring you buy is a good deal Once you know how to buy an engagement ring, you can make your purchase with confidence.

 

Because an engagement ring is both a financial and emotional investment, it is important to know what makes a quality ring. Before visiting a jeweler to buy an engagement ring, learn about the four C\’s of diamond quality: cut, carat, clarity, and color. Know basic setting and metal choices, as well as different diamond shapes Understand the differences between treated, synthetic, and imitation diamonds. While this may seem like a lot of information, it prepares you for a successful shopping trip: the jeweler will undoubtedly be showing you many rings in a short time, and they will describe each one with different diamond terminology. By learning that terminology beforehand, you can focus on the purchase without being lost in the mumbo-jumbo.

 

Even more important than knowing how to judge a quality ring is knowing what means quality to your prospective bride. Most women have definite preferences for diamond shape, metal choice, and general ring appearance. The best way to discover these preferences is to ask, but if you prefer a more subtle approach, spend several hours window shopping before venturing to the jeweler for a serious purchase. It is also possible to ask her close friends and family about her preferences if they can be trusted with the impending secret.

 

One essential piece of information is the bride\’s ring size, which can be discovered in several ways. Close friends may know her size – again, if they can keep the secret. If she already wears a variety of rings on her left hand, choose one she wears frequently (it is likely quite comfortable) and try it on your own fingers, usually your pinkie, for a fair approximation of her size. If possible, take the ring to the jeweler with you so they can properly measure it – this may not be feasible, however, because it would be exceedingly difficult to explain if she discovers the ruse.

the brands introduce of swiss made watch–rolex

watch master Said:

About ROLEX:

rolex is a famous swiss watches brand.the watches sell to more than 150 countries.it is a top brand in swiss made lexury watches.it is best choice for the classes.

the first watch that Vintage Daytona chronograph.In 1905 Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis founded “Wilsdorf and Davis” in London. Their main business at the time was importing Hermann Aegler’s Swiss movements to England and placing them in quality cases made by Dennison and others. These early wristwatches were sold to jewellers, who then put their own names on the dial. The earliest watches from Wilsdorf and Davis were usually hallmarked “W&D” inside the caseback. In 1908 Wilsdorf registered the trademark “Rolex” and opened an office in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The company name “Rolex” was registered on 15 November 1915. The word was made up, and its origin is obscure. Wilsdorf was said to want his watch brand’s name to be easily pronounceable in any language. One story, never confirmed by Wilsdorf, is that the name came from the French phrase horlogerie exquise, meaning “exquisite clockwork”. Another story claims that “rolex” was meant to evoke the sound of a watch being wound. The book The Best of Time: Rolex Wrist Watches by Jeffrey P. Hess and James Dowling says that the name was just made up. The Book A Movement in Time with Breitling & Rolex by Mark A Cooper states that the name came from the partner Alfred Davis and not Wilsdorf. Alfred Davis was a Rolls Royce driver and loved the quality of the car, something he wanted with Rolex. He used the name Rol and then added the popular watch name at the time ‘TIMEX’ to make the word Rolex.

Yacht-Master IIn 1919 Wilsdorf moved the company to Geneva, Switzerland where it was established as the Rolex Watch Company. Its name was later changed to Montres Rolex, SA, and finally Rolex, SA. The company moved out of the United Kingdom because taxes and export duties on the case metals (silver and gold) were driving costs up.Upon the death of his wife in 1944, Wilsdorf established the Hans Wildorf Foundation in which he left all of his Rolex shares, making sure that some of the company’s income would go to charity. The company is still owned by a private trust, and shares are not traded on any stock exchange.

The series of rolex:Submariner, Yacht-Master, GMT-Master 2, Daytona, Datejust, Airking, Explorer, Day-Date, Jubilee, Ladies Milgauss, SeaDweller

Three Steps to Designing of Engagement Rings

Frank Luca Said:

Though plenty of engagement rings with variety of designs are accessible in jewelers’ shops, yet they may not create the impression the bride is specially looking for. Your bride-to-be may ask you for a specific carving of the ring which the shops do not have in their line-up of the jewelry products. However, the jewelers also design the engagement rings as per the customers’ specifications.

You must ensure some basic steps before asking the jeweler to design the ring. First of all, go through the  engagement rings pictures and see how they look. Compare the design on the top of the ring and the carvings on the metal bands. You must compare lots of rings in order to have a look at the prevailing and traditional trends. Pick up the paper and pencil and try to draw the design you have in mind. Consult your bride as she will give you hints over her liking of the ring. Keep in mind her life style and choice regarding the jewelry while deciding over the specifications of the diamond engagement ring.

When it comes to choosing a diamond, its cut, clarity, color and carat size matters the most. Cost can also be a guiding factor in picking up a diamond for the engagement ring. for instance, if a budget ring is in your mind, then a diamond with lower carat size and some inclusions in it will be suitable. Still, such a diamond gives the same impression of glitter to the onlookers. Simple cuts will also lower the prices to larger extent. For a less costly ring, you can opt for other stones such as opals, sapphires and rubies.

Settings for the engagement ring are vital to designing of engagement rings. A channel setting allows for free flow of the stones within a channel, especially to the round stones. This gives extra security to the stones, apart from a unique line of stones for special impression. Prong setting provides for a tight grip over the diamond, and becomes dominant on the ring. Bezel settings protect the stones even more as a tight collar is placed around them. These setting are capable of giving the engagement ring a special look.

Once the specifications of the engagement ring of your choice are in place, you should be shopping for the material. The metal band holds important place in whole of the design. A simple white metal band provides for a less dominant backdrop to highlight the stone on the top of the ring. A gold metal band or excessive carvings on it may somewhat diminish the stone impression and it should be kept in mind while designing the ring.

In these days of internet, designing of engagement rings has become even easier with the help of online tools. Browse a jeweler’s website and you will be guided to the easy steps for online designing of the ring. A major benefit of online shopping and designing over personally visiting of a shop is lower overall costs of the engagement ring as you can compare the diamonds and prices of varieties of designs.
