How To Choose The Right Stone For Your Gemstone Engagement Ring?

Your special day is probably just around the corner and you wish to present your future spouse with a beautiful gemstone ring. Don’t you? But, amidst a range of simple gemstone engagement rings available in the market, how do you find the right option for your partner? Most importantly, how do you find the right stone for the engagement ring?

If you feel confused, do not worry; listed below are some of the easiest tips for choosing the best gemstone for your engagement ring.

1. Choose a Long-Lasting Stone 
   While browsing multiple options, make sure you pick a stone, that offers a classy look plus great durability. Diamonds are a popular choice among stones that commit durability. While purchasing a diamond ring, all you need is to focus on the diamond’s quality, which is based on its cut, color, clarity, and carat. You can also choose to buy a blue sapphire gemstone or a ruby emerald ring as they too are durable and much affordable than a diamond.
   
   
2. Avoid Damage-Susceptible Stones
   This is in relation to the point mentioned above. While purchasing the right stone for your engagement ring, do not buy stones that are more susceptible to damage. For example, opals and pearls are found to be prone to surface scratching, due to their softness.
   
   
3. Pick The Right Stone Shape 
   Choosing the right stone shape is very essential to make sure the ring looks beautiful on your fiancée's finger. Princess cut and round shape are the most common types of stone shapes. However, if you wish to try something different, look for marquise, oval, cushion, radiant, heart and asymmetrical shapes.
   
4. Pick The Right Stone Size
   Apart from the shape, the size of the stone also matters. Therefore, it is advised to pick a size that suits your budget, fiancée's hand, style, and setting preferences. Most of the people buy stone sizes ranging between 1.0-1.50 carats. The price of the simple gemstone rings varies according to the size of the stone. So, keep your budget in mind, before finalizing the ring.
   
5. Focus On The Grade Of Cut 
   Finally, do not forget to pay attention to the cut of the stones as this determines how well the gemstone will sparkle when exposed to light. Grades of cut range from excellent to poor, where the former signifies a highly reflective stone and the latter signifies the least reflective stone.
   

So, keep these simple tips in mind and get started with your purchase.
