20 q's to ask your jeweler before you buy an engagement ring online?

It's important to research and ask questions before making a big purchase like an engagement ring, as it's a symbol of love and commitment that will be cherished for a lifetime. Asking these questions will help you make an informed decision and ensure that you are getting a high-quality ring that meets your expectations.

  1. Can I customize the ring design?

  2. What is the ring's metal type and quality?

  3. Can I choose the diamond?

  4. What is the diamond quality? (Remember the 4C’s - carat weight, cut, clarity, and color)

  5. Are the diamonds ethically sourced?

  6. Can I change the diamonds to an alternate gemstone?

  7. Can I see the ring in person before purchasing it (If you’ve only seen it online)?

  8. Does the ring come with a laboratory certification?

  9. Is the ring resizable?

  10. Can I see more pictures or videos of the ring?

  11. What is the estimated delivery time?

  12. Are there any financing options?

  13. What is the return policy and warranty?

  14. How is the ring packaged and delivered?

  15. Is the ring insured during shipping or delivery?

  16. Are there any additional costs like taxes, duties, or custom fees?

  17. Are there any special care instructions for the ring?

  18. What is the post purchase customer service like?

  19. Will the ring preserve value (this is important to ask especially if the ring is using lab-grown diamonds)?

  20. How long has the jeweler been in business (check their reviews online and across social media)?
