Most jewelers have ring size charts available as well as assorted tools to determine ring size either from an existing ring or by measuring the appropriate finger. If the engagement ring is a surprise, however, taking your beloved into a jewelry store and asking to measure her finger is not the most subtle or secretive approach. There are a number of ring size charts available online, either to convert measurements or to compare against existing rings.

Printable ring sizer

Fingers can change size throughout the day, and proper measurements are crucial to obtain an accurate size for the engagement ring. For the best measurements, follow these tips:

• If the finger joints are prominent, either measure the widest part of the finger or use a printed comparison chart with a well-fitting ring for the best measurement.
• Fingers change size according to temperature, time of day, and even humidity. For the best fit, take measurements at room temperature (not after showering, being outdoors in the winter, vigorous exercise, etc.) and toward the end of the day (when the fingers are typically largest).
• A woman’s finger size can change during her menstrual cycle, growing slightly larger if she retains water. Be careful not to obtain a measurement during that time, which could result in a ring that will be loose most of the month.
• If the measurement is between two potential sizes, choose the larger size to be sure it will fit.
• Measure in millimeters for a more accurate size.

Accurate ring size measurements are especially crucial for more elaborate rings such as eternity rings or bridal sets, which are difficult and expensive to resize because of their intricacy. Furthermore, if the ring will be engraved, appropriate sizes are also important.

Everybody kows just how difficult it is to choose a bracelet. Becouse the jewelry market is full with styles an designs, choosing a bracelet, as a gift for a friend or a  relative, can be quite difficult and time consuming. You do not have to be an jewelry expert to manage between so many designs, styles, not to mention prices,in order to purchase a gorgeous and memorable bracelet. Simply follow these tips on how to choose a bracelet and see how easy is to choose a bracelet for yourself or for someone else as a gift:

Budget

First of all, you have to set a budget for yourself. You may think bracelets are easy to find, but what hinders people from buying them is the price. Decide and stick to the budget you’ve chosen for yourself and make sure that the bracelet doesn’t go over it (or if it does, don’t let it be more than 10%). Once you have a budget in mind, then it is time to look for a good bracelet.

Design and Metal

The first thing is to decide what design you want for your bracelet. This includes knowing how heavy the bracelet should be, if it’s streamlined or with pointed edges, if the mount for the diamonds or and gemstones are strong enough, etc. Here are some ideas you might want to consider:

• The prongs used to mount the gems should be sturdy and shouldn’t be too thin or else they could open up and fall off anytime unnoticed.
• Consider the design dimensions of the bracelet to avoid instances where the metal is too thin, the overall bracelet too heavy, etc.
• Make sure the designs are damage proof and that the bracelet can last for a long time without loosing its luster or strength.

One way of determining the price of a bracelet is through the metal. The heaviness of the metal used and if the choice is a gold bracelet will determine if you can afford it or not. Usually jewelers are very excited to sell you gold bracelets, so make sure you know what kind you’re buying before handing over the money.

Gems

• The next step in choosing a bracelet is choosing the gemstones. There are a lot of ways in choosing a bracelet based on gemstones, one of which is through associating them with the person’s birthstone. Here is a chart of birth stone colors to help you in the process.
• Sometimes choosing alternative birthstones can help you stay in your budget.

Quality

You have to know if the craftsmanship is of good quality or not. You should always demand well crafted bracelets, especially if you’re buying gold or silver ones as a gift. You will know if the craftsmanship of a certain bracelet is bad when you:

• Notice that the price is cheaper than normal good quality bracelets
• Luster is of low quality
• The mount of the gemstones can easily be bent open.
• Badly connected links

Size and  Color

• Verify the size is appropriate for the the person who will wear the bracelet.
• Does the color match ones wardrobe. Though gold and silver generally match more outfits, certain colors won’t be worn often.

Brands

Name brands or at least established jewelers often have higher quality of craftsmanship. This is one of the reasons people often buy from designers. Tiffany’s and Harry Winston come to mind as many people’s favorites. However, there is a premium for this and your budget may encourage you to simply look for high quality materials without the name to go with it.

Hopefully, these tips will help you find the best bracelet!

Gentlemen prefer buying diamonds online

A good looking jewelry website makes it easy for men to learn about diamonds before buying because they may be slightly intimidated when they go into a jewelery store to buy their first diamond.

A important reason why men choose to buy diamonds online is that the World Wide Web has risen to be one of the most powerful tools of modern technology. And boys just love anything that has to do with technology. It has evolved as modern man’s treasure trove of valuable information and an indispensable hub for trade and commerce. As a matter of fact, almost all of our shopping nowadays can be taken care of by just pressing a few buttons on our computers!

Although the majority of visitors to the JR Jewelers site are women, the majority of purchasers are still men. JR Jewelers was one of several diamond or jewelery sites launched in 2001. The traditional approach is for a retailer to buy a diamond which then sits in its inventory awaiting a buyer, often for months or even years.

However, if you really think things over, you can see that buying diamonds online does have its advantages over buying from a traditional jewelry outlet. Consider these benefits:

• You can choose among a wider selection of quality diamond pieces. Feast your eyes on the almost endless selections available online. There simply are no limits!
• You get a better value for your money. Wondering why diamond pieces in online jewelry stores are priced much lower than those in traditional jewelry stores? Online operations require lower overhead and inventory costs. This is the main reason why online merchandisers can afford to give you a better value for your chosen piece.
• You can shop almost effortlessly! If you find your mall or department store shopping exhausting enough, you will definitely appreciate buying your precious diamond online. In shopping online, you do away with the traffic, the parking issues, the crowds and everything else that makes traditional shopping an almost unbearable task. Plus, you can make speedy transactions. Just type in a little information in the appropriate places, press a button and you’re done!

So, how do you buy diamonds safely online? Here are some helpful tips that can guide you in making your online diamond shopping an enjoyable and safe experience.

1. Learn as much as you can about diamonds. Be knowledgeable about the 4C’s (cut, color, clarity and carat weights) of a diamond. The more knowledgeable you are, the less your chances are of being conned by all those scams lurking in the internet!

2. Do your research well. Now that you are more knowledgeable about diamonds, go around and look for diamonds that interest you. Do not just grab the first thing you see that piques your fancy! Instead, do some comparison-shopping and look for the best deals in town. There are a lot of credible online jewelry stores so take your time.

3. Understand the merchandiser’s store policies. So, you have found the diamond piece that you love. It is so perfect! You have looked around and found the best deal there is. All that is left for you to do is the actual purchase and you can have that valuable piece. But wait! Have you asked about the store’s policies yet? Here are some things you need to know before you make the final purchase:

• Ask for the merchandiser’s credentials: Do they belong to a professional jewelry association?
• What are their policies regarding return, refund and upgrades? Go for those with a 30-day return policy and be sure to read the fine prints to avoid any confusion.
• Do they have a Customer Service available? Have their phone numbers ready. You do not know when you will need them.
• How will the purchase be shipped? Are they willing to replace or refund any item that are lost or damaged in shipment?
• Do they have certifications, or diamond grading reports, for the individual diamond pieces? To be sure about your purchase, buy only from sites that provide diamond AGS or GIA certificates. These two independent laboratories are considered to be the world’s premier diamond grading laboratories.
• Have you checked their BBB Online rating? Are there any complaints filed against them?

4. As much as possible, use an escrow service. This is especially important in purchasing very expensive diamonds. Look for an escrow service that also has the capability to appraise the diamond. This way, you can be sure that your purchase is safe and sound.
