Bridal Ring Shopping – Learn the Lingo

Posted on August 20, 2012 by admin

So you’ve decided to pop the big question. Congratulations! This is an exciting time for you. Of course, you need to have the perfect engagement ring accompany your proposal, which is why you need to know the lingo when shopping for bridal rings in New York. There is so much to know about rings, if you haven’t done it before or don’t have prior knowledge it is next to impossible to know if what you’re looking at is worth the price or not. Thankfully, with just a few tidbits of information, you’re able to go in confident and know exactly what you’re searching for.

When it comes to shopping for diamond rings, there is something known as the 5 C’s. Just about every aspect of the ring is limited down to one of five different categories, all of which begin with the letter C. This includes cut, color, clarity, carat and certification.

Certification is simply the certificate which comes with the diamond, and includes all the grading information regarding the diamond. This is something you probably don’t receive at a smaller facility, or when shopping at an antique store.

Carat is most likely the most known aspect of the diamond engagement ring to you. this is the overall weight of the ring. The larger the carat, the larger the weight and the larger, in size, the ring is.

Clarity is how clear the ring is. You want a higher clarity level, as reduced clarity means there is dirt, dust spots, and other foggy material making the rock less clear.

Color is the overall color of the diamond. Some diamonds are colorless, while others have a hint of blue or pink in it.

The cut is the shame of the diamond. This might be a square cut, which is princess, oval cut, pear or cushion cut diamond.

Come on in to Michael F. & Co. today for more information and a little help finding that perfect ring for your beloved.

Engagement Ring – Picking the Perfect Setting

Posted on June 11, 2012 by admin

Deciding on the perfect engagement ring setting is as varied an experience as there are couples deciding to marry. Some decide together on the right ring, while in other cases a romantically minded groom works carefully to provide a perfect surprise for his unsuspecting bride-to-be. Finding the right choice is fun, and exploring the options is an adventure.

Diamonds take center stage in bridal jewelry, and finding a diamond setting that captures her heart and her style are priorities. For some, a simple solitaire is perfect. There are many contemporary cuts, though, that allow for intrigue and interest to be captured in the choice of ring. The teardrop shape of the pear cut stone, for example, is elegant. Some prefer the princess cut, a captivating square shape that is off the beaten path in an engagement ring.

Important to consider, diamond shape is a determining factor in the beauty of the engagement ring. Just as important are those facets incorporated underneath. An emerald cut diamond, for example, can produce a less fiery appearance than that of the similar radiant cut diamond because of the types of facets created on the underside of the stone.

The material of the setting can make a difference in appeal. Yellow and white gold are the most common choices for bridal settings. In finding a more unique setting, though, rose gold is gaining in popularity.The romantic pink hues of the copper and gold alloy make the choice a perfect representation of love and romance. Two-tone settings are also exceptional contemporary choices in an engagement ring, especially when the materials are creatively merged in the ring design. Halo engagement rings create exceptional emphasis on the shape and size of the stone, whether the halo is crafted of metal or inlaid with smaller accent stones.

The romance of an engagement ring is wonderful, especially when it’s emphasized through beautiful design elements. Picking the perfect setting depends on the unique interests that define a couple. At Michael F. & Co. our experienced staff will gladly guide you to the perfect ring for your special day.

Buying the Engagement Ring and Bridal Jewelry

Preparation for your wedding is an amazing period of activity, beginning with buying the engagement ring. There is no detail too small to warrant your full attention, though you may feel as if there are too many details to remember. From your gown to your shoes, every item you wear will be observed by those you love. Your bridal jewelry matters in its contribution to your appearance, and whatever your theme, it’s exciting to select just the right items to wear.

Your engagement ring is the precursor, testifying of things to come. You are able to wear it throughout the engagement period, and it will attract a huge amount of attention. Deciding on a wedding ring is something you and your groom need to consider together. He may determine the budget, but you will have the greatest say in style. It’s exciting to find beautiful diamonds, whether you prefer a traditional cut or a trendy option. Pear cut and princess cut diamonds are quite popular, while traditional round cut diamonds provide more brilliance and fire. You may opt for a simple wedding ring to contrast your elaborate engagement ring, or you may look for a coordinated set that allows you and your groom to wear matching bands. Pavestone is one of the most intriguing effects, and is well worth your attention.

Coordinating bridal jewelry should be selected to complement your gown and veil. If your gown is elaborately embellished, simple necklace and earring choices are excellent. If your veil and gown are simpler, your choice of intricate earrings and necklaces are warranted. Consider coordinating these pieces with those of your bridesmaids, providing pieces as bridal party thank you gifts at your bridesmaid luncheon. Your day is meant to be special, and Michael F. & Co. is your go-to source for stylish a engagement ring and bridal jewelry.
