Shopping with La Jolla Jewelers
By Phoenix Delray
It is really no secret that a lot of guys panic at the thought of consulting with La Jolla jewelers about engagement rings; there are so many to choose from and so much money to spend that it seems unfair that you have to go through a nightmare to make her dreams come true! Of course money is a gigantic factor in any purchase from one of these stores. Lets cut this worry right out of the equation for a minute. Get a budget in mind. Pick a number. Do NOT spend more than that number. You may have heard that a guy should spend two months salary at an engagement ring store with La Jolla jewelers. Well, this is just silly. What you need to do is spend as much money as you can without putting yourself sailing down Debt Creek without a paddle. Do not get yourself in financial trouble in order to buy a ring. Do not let any clerks or sales people talk you into a price you are not comfortable with.
As far as the diamond goes, there is one valuable trick you can use to potentially save hundreds of dollars with La Jolla jewelers: ask to see the flawed diamonds. If a diamond has a tiny little speck of dirt in it, the price goes down. You have to look really closely to see that speck of dirt too. In fact there are many women who prefer having a diamond in their engagement rings with a speck of dirt they know that the ring is truly, without a doubt, one of a kind and it is theirs. You may find a ring with more than one diamond in it, such as a main large diamond flanked on either side by a few smaller ones. You may or may not want the main stone to have a speck in it. If it does, yea, you probably need to make sure it is really tiny. If you find a speck in some of the small flanking stones, you have just hit the jack pot.
Other than looking for specks and sticking to a budget, you should be at least somewhat familiar with color, cut, carat and clarity of diamonds before you go into an engagement ring store to chat with La Jolla jewelers. The cut of a diamond is the shape of it. The shape affects the degree to which the stone catches light rays and reflects them. The more facets, or surfaces that a diamond has, the more brilliant it will be and the more it is going to reflect light. The best engagement ring store is going to have master diamond cutters working to make diamonds shine as much as possible.
The carat is the category that refers to the size, or mass of the stone. Even though most engagement rings are a one carat size, you might be surprised at the impressive size of a half carat and even a quarter carat stone too, so do not walk into an engagement ring store insistent on only looking at a certain size of stone. Color is important, but not as important as other characteristics. Few diamonds are perfectly white; most contain tints of different colors. The whiter a diamond is, the more valuable it is. Clarity is the amount of or the lack of imperfections in the stone. A flawless diamond is extremely rare, so keep that in mind when you are inspecting the inventory of La Jolla jewelers.
