As you shop stores and read magazines there are so many engagement rings out there, one would wonder is there really a need to design your own ring. For many having that special design that has been created to their very own specifications, makes a special ring even more special. Before you go off to the opals nickname to design your opal earrings studs there are some steps you should follow.
First, go through as many engagement ring pictures you can, and see how they look. Compare the design on top of the ring as well as the designs on the side of the metal band. You must look at many rings in order for you to get a good understanding of current trends. You might want to make a rough sketch of the design of blue fire opal you want. It is also a good idea to keep in mind the life style of the bride to be before choosing a design.
Secondly, when choosing a diamond its cut, clarity color and carat size matters the most. These are known as the 4 Cs to keep in mind when purchasing a ring. Cost can also be a consideration when purchasing a diamond ring. If you are concerned with a budget a ring with lower carat size and some inclusions in it will be suitable. These diamonds will still give the look of flash and glitter that you want and can still afford. Simple cuts will also lower the cost. For a far less costly ring you may want to choose another stone rather than a diamond. This has become quite popular among brides today where they decide on stones such as sapphires, rubies, emeralds and opals.
Next, choosing the setting for the engagement ring is an important step. The setting you choose will dictate how the stones will be set in your ring. A channel setting allows for the stones to have a more free flowing look. A prong setting provides for a tight grip on the diamond and becomes a dominant part of the look of the ring. Bezel settings give the stones more protection as a tight collar is placed around the stone. All of these settings give your ring a special look.
