By: Vanscoy Diamonds

Shopping for an engagement ring is not a purchase but a life-changing decision, a reflection of your dedication, and a sign of a forever moment. As you enter a jewelry store in search of that perfect engagement ring in North Carolina, a lot is riding, beginning with the grade of the diamond and moving through to its style of setting and, of course, its overall store experience. With 50 years in the diamond industry, a reputation for expertise, and a commitment to integrity, Van Scoy Diamonds have crafted the ultimate engagement ring buying checklist to make your journey a cinch.

First-time buyers and upgrade buyers will both appreciate having a trusted source of information at your fingertips, and your purchase will reflect its value, your dedication, and a sign of a forever moment.

Experience is important: Trust an Experienced Jeweler

With over five decades in the diamond business, your jeweler sells rings and must master all aspects of the diamond universe. Choose a store with a deep heritage, one in which your salespeople can detail each facet of your purchase, whether explaining the 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight) or offering personalized guidance about your needs.

Certified Diamonds: Quality Guarantees

When buying an engagement ring, it's critical that a diamond comes with a certificate of assurance from a renowned laboratory. Graded diamonds have been analyzed for quality in terms of 4Cs. Having a guaranteed diamond will ensure your diamond is of high value, and it will put you at ease knowing your purchase is an informed one.

Shop from stores with a selection of mounted and certified diamonds. Buying with a jeweler who sources diamonds directly from renowned sources including Antwerp and Tel Aviv, you can have assurance in knowing that each and every one of them have been acquired with care, not only for its authenticity but for having access to the best quality stones in existence.

Personalization Features: Building the Best Ring

Every marriage is unique as should be your engagement ring. Perhaps one of the most important considerations when purchasing an engagement ring is whether a store customizes jewelry and manufactures it in-house. With such an offering, you can have a custom-designed and custom-made ring that expresses your uniqueness and your marriage with your significant other.

Whether your dream is in your mind or whether you need guidance in creating one, choosing a jeweler with an in-house custom design is imperative. A seasoned jeweler will handle all phases, including the setting and the stone, and your dream will become a reality.

After-Purchase Care: Long-term and Maintenance

The importance of after-care cannot be stressed enough. An engagement ring will become a part of your life forever, so having it in tip-top shape is necessary. Search for stores with free and unlimited cleaning and inspection; it will make your ring shine and be safe for many years. With maintenance, your beauty and integrity will be saved, and your ring will last a lifetime.

Also, most jewelers will resize most rings free for life. Because fingers change over a lifetime, it's comforting to have your ring resized whenever it's in a position to, at no additional cost.

Repairs and Services: Long-term Assistance

Not only is your engagement ring a work of beauty, but it's an heirloom in the making, and in years to come, your ring will need to have repairs and tweaks, and it's important to have a store that can make expert jewelry repairs in-house. For whatever it is– a resize, a new stone, or general maintenance, having a jeweler with a sound in-house repair service will mean your ring will forever be in capable hands.

Conclusion: Trust in Your Purchase

When getting an engagement ring, you must be confident in your purchase. That's why choosing a jeweler with a combination of expertise, high quality, custom options, post-purchase service, and financing options is key. By considering the engagement rings, build your own in this checklist, you'll have a flawless fit for your love story, which you and your significant other will cherish forever.
