Things to Consider When Shopping for Anniversary Rings

Posted on: 15 November 2018

If you are ready to purchase some anniversary rings, you will want to do what you can to find the best ones for the money that you have to spend. This can be easily done by spending a little time reviewing the following factors.

The Karat of Gold

It is important to know that there is a big difference between the different karats of gold. Higher karat numbers, such as 24 karat gold, will be a much softer gold. This means that it is more likely to bend because it is fragile. The lower the number, such as 10 karat gold, the stronger it will be. Another option, which is often a popular choice, is the 14 karat gold.

The Number of Stones

You can choose any ring you would like to act as your anniversary ring, but if you are celebrating a certain number of years together, such as three years, you might want to consider getting a ring with three lovely stones on it. You could get a ring with all diamonds or opt for a ring with various birthstones that represent your birthdays or even the birthdays of the children you have had since becoming married. Feel free to spend some time thinking about your different options for the stone of placement. You can be as creative you as want, even ordering a custom-made ring if you would like.

The Sizing

A lot of rings can be taken back to a jeweler to be resized should you find that the size you bought is not a perfect fit. However, there are some rings, that because of their design, cannot be easily resized. Therefore, the size you order is the size you are stuck with. Because of this, you will want to do your best to get the accurate size of the finger that the ring will be worn on. You can ask for their size or purchase a ring sizer to determine the size of other rings that they wear. 

Always make sure that you are making your purchase through a quality jeweler. This way, your entire shopping experience can be as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. If you do not have a lot of experience with the local jewelers in your area or any of the online ones, you might want to consult with friends, family, and maybe even some of your co-workers to see if they can give you any good recommendations.
