Jewellery, especially engagement jewellery, has to have the perfect cut and fit, just like fashion. It should be curvaceous and exude power. Diamond rings, for instance, are at their best when they embrace the shape of the finger on which it is worn. The engagement ring should be easy and comfortable to wear. The last thing anyone would want is to have their favourite jewellery ill-fitting or resized.

How to choose an engagement ring?

1. Whenever you are buying jewellery, information is your best ally. Make sure to try on all the items you’re interested in and check yourself in the mirror if you’re shopping in person. This info on jewellery sizing is helpful if you are shopping online or can’t see it in person.
2. Ring sizes for women typically range between 5 and 7, with 6 being the most common.
3. Ring sizes for men range from 8 to 10, with 9 being the most common.
4. It is important to keep in mind that there will be some flexibility when it comes to ring size. For instance, if your middle finger is a 6, you can either get a 5½ considering the ring is thin or a 6½ if the ring is wide and covers a lot of your finger.
5. Temperature influences finger size as well. It is best to size fingers near the end of the day when they are warm. In the morning, when the hands are cold, the fingers measure smaller.
6. If the knuckle of your finger is larger than its base, measure both measurements and choose a ring size that lies between the two so that your ring will slide over the knuckle easily, but would not fall off or move around uncontrollably.

Tips to choose the perfect diamond bangle?

1. A perfect diamond bangle should move a little on your wrist, but it shouldn’t slide over the heel of your hand too easily.
2. If you’re new at this, then the traditional style bangle with smaller pave will be a good place to start. If you want to be trendier, you can always get customised bangle designs that will match your personal style.
3. Diamonds on a bangle are not scrutinized as they would be on a diamond ring. This means you don’t have to spend unnecessarily on high-end diamonds while purchasing a bangle. It is very common for diamonds used on a bangle to be within the near-colourless range and of SI or I1 clarity.
