12 things to think about when buying jewelry

Whether you're looking for the perfect ring or just a little sparkle, buying jewelry is always exciting. There can be a lot to consider but don’t be overwhelmed. Here’s a handy checklist covering 12 things to keep in mind while purchasing jewelry so you can shop with confidence.

1. Style & Design: Is it something that you and your partner will love and feel comfortable wearing?

2. Durability: Will the jewelry be able to withstand daily wear and tear?

3. Maintenance: Are there any special care instructions or maintenance that you should be aware of?

4. Budget: What is your budget, and how does the jewelry you're considering fit into that budget?

5. Future Value: Will the jewelry retain its value over time or will it depreciate?

6. Jeweler’s Reputation: It's important to research the jeweler and read customer reviews to ensure that you are buying from a reputable and trustworthy source.

7. Ethical & Sustainable Sourcing: You may want to ask the jeweler about where the diamond or the other stones came from and if they are ethically and sustainably sourced.

8. Size: Make sure to get the right ring size or see if it's adjustable.

9. Packaging & Delivery: It's important to consider how the jewelry will be packaged and delivered, to ensure that it arrives safely and in good condition.

10. Personalization: Some jewelers allow for personalization, such as engraving or adding a special message. Consider whether or not you would like to add a personal touch to your jewelry.

11. Flexibility: Make sure to ask if the jewelry can be changed or modified in the future, should you or your partner's taste change.

12. Warranty: Check for the warranty of the jewelry, and what it covers.
