Budget Consideration

These factors should align with the color of the stone, the outfit you'll wear on the occasion, and your predetermined budget. Taking all these elements into account ensures a harmonious and stylish look for your special day.

Select a matching gemstone as your attire theme.

To enhance your occasion look, it is recommended to acquire a suitable gemstone color that respects and emerges with the color of your robe and other jewelry that you wear on the chosen day.

See the ring size chart| Measure your ring size

Measuring your ring size accurately should be your top priority when purchasing or selecting a design. Any miscalculation can result in a ring that doesn’t fit properly.

Evaluating Authenticity

Whenever you buy any expensive jewelry, it is very important to make sure that whatever things are being given to you are real or not. You should always ask your jeweler about the authenticity of the gemstone. Your gemstone must be certified by an international gemstone certification agency such as GIA or IGI, and have a hallmark on the metal.
