Tips for purchasing jewelry
Why buy jewelry as a gift?
Jewelry is timeless and retains its value, serving as a reminder of important moments in life. It can act as a journey through time, connecting you to your own or your loved ones' past. High-quality jewelry can last for decades. As Zsa Zsa Gabor famously said: "I never hated a man enough to give back the diamonds."
Choosing the right jewelry
A piece of jewelry should reflect the recipient's personal style and be something they will truly appreciate. It’s important that the chosen piece suits the wearer and feels right. A well-crafted piece of jewelry should have smooth seams and flawless surfaces, with no rough edges or imperfections.
Gift-buying tip:
Plan ahead and make sure you know the recipient’s preferences and jewelry size.
The look of the jewelry:
Jewelry doesn’t have to be large to be striking. For example, Scandinavian style is often graphic and clean, not necessarily modest. A larger piece can also suit someone with a smaller frame, as long as it's chosen with care.
Ring Selection:
When choosing engagement and wedding rings, it's important to select a durable metal weight. If the piece is meant to be worn daily, its durability is a key factor.
Quality Jewelry:
The setting of the diamonds plays a crucial role in both the appearance and longevity of the piece. Different setting styles highlight the diamond’s characteristics in unique ways, creating a distinctive look for the jewelry.
Jewelry Metals and Colors:
The purest gold is 24k, but for jewelry, 18k or 14k gold is typically used for greater durability. In addition to gold, platinum is an excellent and durable choice.
Tip on Metal Color:
Choose the metal that suits your personal preference. There is no need for all your jewelry to be the same color.
Quality Certification:
Ensure that the diamond is reliably certified. A GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certification guarantees that the diamond's characteristics have been evaluated accurately, helping to confirm its value and authenticity.
Custom Jewelry:
If you can’t find a pre-made piece that fully meets your desires, consider a custom design. We can work together to create your own unique diamond jewelry.
