Things To Think About When Shopping For Silver.Ag Rings

By Jan Pavlik


When you are planning to go shopping for a new ring, keep in mind that you will have a lot of beautiful rings to choose from. There are a few things that you should think about before you head to the jewelery store. By knowing what kind of ring you want to look at, you can be sure you won't become distracted and purchase a piece of jewelery that you are not happy with later.



The first thing that you should consider is how much you will wear your ring. Consider rings with stones that can not be damaged easily if you want to wear your ring every day. Diamonds are a good choice because not only do they shine, you can choose from a variety of styles and they are very durable. If you want a ring to wear just for special occasions, you could consider a ring with a softer stone such as an opal or emerald.

You will need to learn about the best way to take care of your ring. Have your salesperson tell you how to best clean your ring and how to store it when it is not being worn. Look at the mounting to see if it will protect the center stone of your ring should it become loose. Also look for sharp edges and points to be sure that it will not catch and tear your clothing or furniture. Many rings are covered by a warranty, but to keep it in force you may need to take your ring in for periodic cleanings and inspections. Be sure you know what is required of you.

You will want to purchase a ring that is comfortable for you to wear, especially if you want to wear it on a regular basis. Weight gain or loss can affect the size of your finger, so be sure to find out if it can be re sized if needed. Ask if the band of the ring can stand up to everyday wear.



After you buy the ring, ask your insurance agent if your ring will be covered should it become stolen or lost. You may need to have the ring appraised. Keep a copy of the appraisal for your own records and file it with other important papers.

Take the time to think about what kind of rings you are interested in purchasing before you go shopping. Then you will be less likely to make an impulse purchase that you may regret later because you did not get a ring that fits the purpose for which it was bought.
