More than a Ring- A Promise of Forever

by | Jul 21, 2017 | Jewelry

When is a ring more than just a ring? When it is an engagement ring from Lincroft Village Jewelers in New Jersey. Your engagement ring is a token of your pledge to spend forever together, and will remain a cherished piece of jewelry for the rest of your life and become an heirloom you can pass down for later generations. That is why it is so important to buy a high-quality piece of jewelry from a reliable, knowledgeable jeweler.

What does high-quality mean for engagement rings? You have probably heard of the 4 C’s- color, cut, clarity, and carat, and you might even understand how each of those factors impacts the value of the diamond in your ring. However, at Lincroft Village Jewelers, we remind our buyers that the stone is only part of the ring. Other elements are equally important in creating an heirloom-quality piece of jewelry.

Look at the jewelry design. Some people are fans of trendy jewelry, but because an engagement ring is a piece of lifetime jewelry, we encourage buyers to think in terms of classical design when buying an engagement ring. That does not mean that you cannot incorporate up-to-date trends within a classical design. In fact, our jewelers can even create unique custom engagement rings that meet your design specifications. However, you want to be sure to pick a style that will go with any type of clothing, regardless of trends.

The metal is also a critical element of the design. The first consideration many people have is whether to buy a white metal, yellow-gold, or a rose-gold engagement ring. You also want to look at the karat of the metal, if you are selecting gold. Higher karats may be more expensive and have greater purity, but they are also less durable and more likely to bend than lower karat weights. You want to consider lifestyle and projected wear-and-tear when making your engagement ring selection.

So many factors go into purchasing the perfect engagement ring. Let the engagement ring experts and Lincroft Village Jewelers help you pick the perfect piece to start out your happily-ever-after.
