Engagement Rings: The Promise of Forever

Engagement rings are one of the most cherished personal items one could ever own. For you guys, can you still remember how you carefully and sneakily you designed the proposal? How you staged it to be perfect in every aspect and detail, culminating in saying the magic words while displaying the engagement ring for her to see.

For most women, remember how you were beyond 7^th Heaven when you realized this was the moment, he was about to pop the question, and true enough as you finally saw that beautiful engagement ring come out of that cute little box.

Keeping True to the Promise 

Because engagement rings are such important keep sakes, taking care of them is of paramount importance. While a diamond can withstand a lot of wear and tear, the frame may not be that durable. For this reason, it would really come in handy if you knew where to get good jewelry repair.

Probably the best place for jewelry repair for your engagement ring is with the jeweller who made it. Depending on the arrangements you made with the jewelry shop, they might offer you special deals for your engagement ring, as compared to a walk-in outsider who did not have his ring crafted here. The jeweller is also likely familiar with the designs and patterns that may have gone into making the ring.

If you are not able to go to the jewel shop that fashioned and crafted your engagement ring, you might want to go to one with the most experience. Engagement rings with diamonds can be very tricky to repair as should there be flaws and inclusions, a failed repair attempt could result in the damage getting worse. Make sure the one who will do the repairs on your engagement ring knows exactly what he is doing.

Knowing True Value

Who does not love jewels? From simple worn items like rings, watches and bracelets made from precious metals to expertly crafted tiaras, chokers, and belts fully plated and mounted with precious stones.  Wearing jewelry is not just to display wealth and opulence. They signify power, status and success in life. But is it the real thing? Jewelry appraisals will remove any doubt.

Is it the real thing?   

But while jewelry is nice to look at, ascertaining its true value is a different matter. Jewelries are not like common goods like food items, or even industrial matter like wood and oil. The value of jewelry, especially those that use precious stones like diamonds, can be quite tricky and vary from place to place. For that, this is where jewelry appraisals, diamond appraisals to be more specific, come into play. 

Getting the true value of jewelry is quite important.  Insurance is one common reason. Take for instance diamond engagement rings. Scratching your head is your least reaction should you lose your diamond ring while playing ball or frolicking with your child. You might be able to pacify your wife’s anger if your diamond ring was insured. To do that, you would likely need a diamond appraisal.  

Another use of jewelry appraisals is when you need to move it from one place to another. Gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, their values vary from what place to which country. The one thing that might standardize the variations in value are jewelry appraisals.

When you get a jewelry appraisal, make sure you have checked the credentials of the appraiser. While some appraisers rely only on experience, there are those who really have credentials like belonging to professional appraisal groups. During jewelry appraisals, make sure you have all the necessary documents in hand like the jewelry’s original receipt.

Finally, when getting a jewelry appraisal, make sure it will contain all the important information like detailed description of the item, its value, disclosure statements and the qualification of the appraiser.
