Engagement Rings

Types of Engagement Rings

There are many different types of engagement rings to choose from. No matter what type of ring you are looking for, we can help you find the perfect jewelry for your special occasion.

Antique Engagement Rings

An antique engagement ring is perfect for someone who wants a unique ring with a history. These rings are often one-of-a-kind, and they are sure to stand out from the rest.

Gold Engagement Rings for Women

A gold engagement ring is perfect for those who want a classic look that will last a lifetime. We offer rings in a variety of gold tones, including yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and two-tone gold rings. The metal color you choose will not impact the quality of the ring.

Silver Rings

Though not nearly as popular as gold styles, you may also purchase an engagement ring in sterling silver. This is suitable for individuals who want a lighter metal color or are worried about allergies.

Cluster Engagement Rings

Cluster rings feature multiple diamonds, which creates a beautiful and sparkly effect that is both unique and eye-catching.

Gemstone Rings

Though less common than diamond rings, some couples enjoy purchasing rings that feature alternative gemstones. You can find bridal jewelry that has different gemstones as the center stone for a truly unique piece, or you can select an option that features gemstones around a center diamond to highlight its beauty.

The Appeal of Buying Vintage Engagement Rings

Vintage rings are a popular choice for many couples. These rings often have a unique story, and they are a beautiful way to symbolize your love.

Shopping for pre-owned engagement rings is no less special than buying a newly-made ring. In fact, there are many reasons why couples opt for vintage rings.

Jewelry With a Story

When you buy a vintage ring, you are not just buying a piece of jewelry. You are also getting a story. Each ring has its own history, and this can make the ring even more special.

Beautiful, Timeless Designs 

Older, pre-owned rings often feature beautiful and timeless designs with unique details that you don't often find on new rings.

High-Quality, Durable Materials

Enjoy your ring for years to come knowing that they are made with high-quality materials that are built to last, especially in the case of antique pieces.

Affordable Pieces

Previously-owned engagement rings may be more affordable than similar styles of new rings. For couples who want to avoid breaking the bank without compromising on quality and beauty, a vintage ring is the perfect solution!

Wedding Vs Engagement Rings

These rings are two of the most important pieces of jewelry a person can own. The main difference between engagement rings and wedding rings is their purpose. An engagement ring is given as a symbol of love and commitment, while a wedding ring is given to signify the marriage itself.

Women typically wear an engagement ring to indicate that she is engaged to be married. They are traditionally given as a gift by a man to a woman he is proposing to. The ring is meant to symbolize the promise of marriage between the two people.

A wedding ring is worn by both partners to signify their marriage. Wedding rings are typically given to a person by their spouse on their wedding day. They are meant to symbolize the commitment made by both people to each other. Wedding rings are meant to be worn every day as a symbol of marriage.

Cubic Zirconia Vs Diamond Engagement Rings

Diamonds are the most popular and traditional choice of stone for an engagement ring, but modern couples may opt for alternative selections depending on their styles and budgets. For a classic look, some couples find themselves choosing between diamond rings and cubic zirconia rings. It is important to understand the differences between these options before making a decision.

Cubic zirconia is a man-made stone that has many of the same visual properties as diamonds. It is significantly less expensive than diamonds, which makes it a popular choice for couples on a budget. However, cubic zirconia is not as durable as diamonds and can scratch and chip more easily.

Diamonds are more expensive than cubic zirconia, but they are also more durable. Diamonds are the hardest natural material on Earth, which makes them resistant to scratches and other damage. Diamonds are also graded on a scale of perfection, which means that couples can choose from a wide range of quality levels. You can also choose from a range of colors for a unique look!

When choosing between a cubic zirconia and diamond engagement ring, it is important to consider your budget and style. If you are looking for a classic ring with a traditional stone, a diamond ring may be the best choice. If you are on a tight budget, a cubic zirconia ring may be a more suitable choice for you. Some couples may even purchase a cubic zirconia engagement ring for the proposal and later replace the piece with a diamond ring, budget permitting.

Moissanite Engagement Rings Vs Diamond Rings

Moissanite is a man-made semiprecious gemstone that has many of the same visual properties
as diamonds and actually sparkles more than a diamond. It is significantly less expensive than
diamonds, which makes it a popular choice for couples on a budget. Although it is not as hard
as a diamond, Moissanite has a hardness of 9 to 9.25 which is much harder than stones like
cubic zirconia.

The most important considerations when choosing between a diamond or moissanite engagement ring are your style and budget. For a classic, traditional piece, a diamond ring may be the best choice. If you are on a tighter budget and are looking for a unique ring with extra sparkle, you may choose a moissanite ring instead.

High Setting Vs Low Setting Engagement Rings

The setting of an engagement ring is the metal band that holds the stone in place. It can be high or low, depending on the style of the ring. High settings usually allow more light into the diamond, allowing it to sparkle more. Low settings protect the stone more and are desirable for customers who wear gloves often.

What to Consider When Deciding Where To Get Engagement Rings

When you are ready to purchase an engagement ring, it is important to find a reputable jeweler that you can trust. Shop around and compare prices before making a decision. It is also a good idea to get a professional opinion on the quality of the ring before you purchase it.

Here are some key questions you should ask when searching for the perfect ring:

What is the Warranty on the Diamond and Ring?

Arizona Diamond Center offers a lifetime warranty free of charge with the purchase of a diamond ring, as well as a Peace of Mind Warranty which covers the ring itself, rhodium plating, sizing, and gemstones.

As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on our flexibility when it comes to store policies. Many jewelry businesses will void your warranty if you miss an inspection checkup required every 6 months to keep your warranty valid. Arizona Diamond Center will reinstate your warranty once you bring the ring in and bring it up to manufacturer’s standards.

Also of importance is whether or not your warranty can be serviced if you move out of state. Arizona Diamond Center is a member of Leading Jewelers Guild, meaning you’ll have access to hundreds of sister stores throughout the United States that will honor the warranty on your ring.

How Long Will It Take to Size or Make Repairs on Your Ring?

No fiancé or owner wants to be without their ring for weeks or months while it is sized or repaired. Arizona Diamond Center has a jeweler on duty so that the ring can usually be repaired or sized while you wait.

Will the Jeweler Accept Trade-Ins? 

Many jewelers will not accept trade-ins, namely lab grown diamonds. Arizona Diamond Center has a lifetime trade-up option on all mined and lab grown diamonds.
