The metals could be made of silver, gold in various purities and colors and platinum. Gemstones may or may not include diamonds, rubies, emeralds and other precious and semi-precious stones. The designer jewellery may be vintage, modern or contemporary.
 

Are you confused by the many options presented in our unique designer engagement rings catalogue? It is indeed confusing especially if you have little or no experience in buying jewelry. So how does one choose a ring for somebody else? There are four things one has to keep in mind when choosing a ring: the metal used for the ring, the type of gemstone, the style of setting and the size.

Another consideration is the lifestyle and taste of the recipient. Is your intended recipient a person whose lifestyle is active? Assuming that your unique engagement ring will be worn every day, this is your first consideration.

The metal of the ring should be strong enough to withstand daily wear. 18k or 14k gold rings are sturdy enough for daily wear although it tends to dull when worn every day. However, it can be cleaned easily. Platinum on the other hand is strong and dense as well as hypoallergenic.

For the gemstone, choose hard and durable stones like diamonds or emeralds to prevent scratching or chipping. For the setting, active people who want to wear rings everyday would find it better to avoid pronged settings which are more prone to accidents. Channel set or bezel set stones would be best so that the stones sit low on the ring.
With styles, it all depends on the recipients taste and personal preference. Choosing the correct ring size is essential so that the ring fits properly and comfortably. When you have the answer to all these, then looking for the perfect designer rings in the engagement rings catalogue will be as easy as 1-2-3.
