How to Find the Perfect, Custom Engagement Ring this Holiday

1. Avoid the chain stores.
   This is pretty obvious. If you buy a "discount" ring on sale at your local chain, jewelry store, you will not get a unique, engagement ring. In fact, thousands of other women or men may have the same ring out there. That's why it's on sale and a good deal.
   
   
2. Look for experience.
   Check your local area and look for a jewelry stores that have been in business for many years. Review their information online and review their expertise. If they have been in the area for quite some time, this means that they have a positive, established reputation in the neighborhood. They will also want to work with you on a personal level and ensure you get exactly what you want within your budget and time frame. Their experienced, master jewelers will know how to choose and set the right gems just the way you want them.
   
   In fact, some jewelers are certified in using the latest, 3D imaging software. Here, you sit down next to them in front of a computer screen and actually design your custom ring right there! With this process, you'll definitely get something unique, see what it looks like before it's made and know you have top experts creating the most beautiful, custom engagement ring possible.​
   
   
3. Get a guarantee.
   This goes for all jewelry purchases. To avoid losing time and money, ensure that your jewelry has some kind of guarantee and that gemstones are real. Ask for a Diamond Certification from an official lab like: Gemological Institute of America (GIA), International Gemological Institute (IGI), European Gemological Laboratory (EGL), American Gem Society (AGS), Hoge Raad Diamant (HRD) and Gemological Science International (GSI). This document comes from a third-party and explains everything about your diamond in detail.​
