Finding the right ring is a lot like falling in love. It should feel right. James Allen makes it easy to find the right ring with a variety of designs, viewing tools, and customer support. Here’s a guide to selecting a ring you will treasure forever.
1. Start with Shape and Style
What type of stone, stone shape, and ring style do you prefer? Start with one element at a time. The James Allen Engagement Ring section walks you through ring customization by having you select ring attributes to design your own piece.
You can also search the James Allen website for diamond ring collections and apply filters for things like stone shape, style, and metal type to narrow your search results.
Look at the rings that first draw your attention, and then go back and look at the rest. Think about which rings best fit you or your loved one’s personality and lifestyle. Once you’ve narrowed down the ring selection to your favorites, let your heart guide you to the right ring.
2. Choose Your Diamond and Proportions
Determine the type of diamond or gemstone that you want. Figure out the size of the diamond needed for your preferred ring look. Larger stones are impressive and will provide more finger coverage for long or wide fingers, such as for a man’s engagement ring.
Smaller stones look beautiful in delicate arrangements and on slender fingers. A bulky ring may be impractical for an active person. Make sure the stone size and ring design are balanced to fit your loved one’s lifestyle.
When choosing your diamond, gemstone, or birthstone, remember that it isn’t all about buying the most carats that you can afford or the stone’s clarity rating. Consider the cut of the diamond that you like and how it affects the stone’s fire, too.
3. See Every Detail before You Decide
James Allen provides helpful online tools to view ring details up close as you shop. Here are just a few:
