Buying a diamond engagement ring is part of a much larger decision that goes far beyond jewelry, tradition, or money. The very fact that you're even considering such a commitment indicates that you've already made quite a journey. Let Butterfield Jewelry help you finish with this quick guide to finding your engagement ring.
Step 1. Establish Your Budget
According to the generally accepted convention, a man should spend roughly two months' salary on a diamond engagement ring. While this guideline is certainly not a law, polls show that many men agree with this spending recommendation, and in the minds of many women it's become an accepted standard. We recommend that you don't commit yourself to a dollar amount right away-familiarize yourself with the various options available before you decide how much to spend.
Step 2. Learn About Diamonds
To begin shopping for a diamond, you need to understand the four Cs of diamond evaluation: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. By understanding these qualities you can determine which traits are most important to you, and you can find a balance between them that best suits your needs.
Step 3. Design Your Own Ring
As an engagement is an intensely personal experience, Butterfield Jewelry has the staff and experience to help guide you.
In just a few simple steps, you can select a diamond that matches your budget and preferences in terms of the four Cs. By choosing only diamonds that meet our high standards we make the selection process easier while ensuring that your jewelry is truly timeless and exceptional.
After you find a diamond you like, you can then pair it with a setting by browsing a variety of different styles that will fit your diamond.
