30代後半に映える婚約指輪：デザイン選びで輝く未来
For women in their late 30s, an engagement ring is not just an accessory, but a symbol of a promise to their partner who will walk through the rest of their lives together. We will explain how to choose a sophisticated design that suits you as you get older, and the key points to avoid regretting your choice. With your 40s approaching, let's find an engagement ring that will make you shine even more beautifully.
What kind of engagement ring design would suit a mature woman in her late 30s ?
Unlike in her 20s, engagement ring designs that suit women in their late 30s tend to be more sophisticated and beautiful. By choosing a design that is suitable for a mature woman, you will be able to bring out the radiance of not only the ring but also the inner self.
The simple solitaire is a classic design that brings out the beauty of the diamond itself to the fullest. It has a universal appeal that does not fade over time, and its beauty becomes more prominent as you age. In addition, the design with melee diamonds on the arms adds an elegant and glamorous touch. The subtle sparkle will bring out the charm of an adult woman. In addition, eternity rings, which are easy to wear every day, are also popular among women in their late 30s. Full eternity, half eternity, and other diamond arrangements give different impressions and are suitable for everyday use, making them ideal for those who want to wear them all the time.
Material selection: Platinum? Gold?
Choosing the material for an engagement ring is just as important as the design. Not only can the impression of the ring change greatly depending on the material, but the durability and ease of maintenance also differ.
Platinum is a standard material for engagement rings, as its white brilliance brings out the beauty of diamonds to the fullest. It is resistant to tarnishing and has excellent durability, so you can wear it for many years. It gives an elegant impression that is suitable for formal occasions. On the other hand, gold blends well with the skin and has a warm shine. There are a wide variety of colors, such as yellow gold, pink gold, and white gold, so you can choose one that suits your skin color and preferences. It is also easy to match with casual outfits. In recent years, combination rings that combine platinum and gold have also become popular. You can enjoy unique designs while taking advantage of the good qualities of each material. How
to choose a diamond so you don't regret it
The value of diamonds, which are the center of engagement rings, varies greatly depending on their quality. In order to choose a diamond that you will not regret, it is important to understand the evaluation criteria called the 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat).
Cut is the most important factor that determines the brilliance of a diamond. It is evaluated based on three elements: proportion, polish, and symmetry, and is rated on a five-point scale: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, and Poor. Color indicates the transparency of the diamond, and the closer it is to colorless transparency, the higher its value. It is rated with letters from D to Z, with D being the highest quality. Clarity indicates the degree of inclusions and surface scratches inside the diamond. The fewer inclusions, the higher its value. It is rated on 11 levels from FL (flawless) to I3. Carat is a unit of weight for a diamond, and 1 carat is 0.2 grams. The higher the carat number, the higher the value, but it is important to consider the balance with other elements. The secret to avoiding regret is to choose a diamond with a balanced 4C according to your budget.
Market price and budget for engagement rings in your late 30s
Setting a reasonable budget is important
Setting a budget is a very important factor when purchasing an engagement ring. We understand the desire to buy an expensive ring, but if you set an unreasonable budget, it may affect your future married life. Try to set a realistic budget with an eye to the future.
Generally, the average price of an engagement ring is said to be about one to three months' annual salary. However, this is only a guideline and varies greatly depending on each individual's financial situation and values. The important thing is to set an amount that you can comfortably pay, taking into account the future wedding preparation costs, the cost of a new life, and plans to buy a house. Discuss it thoroughly with your partner and decide on a budget that you can both agree on. When deciding on a budget, it is also important to prioritize the design and material of the ring, the quality of the diamond, etc. For example, if you want to prioritize the quality of the diamond over the design, you can choose a diamond with a high cut, color, and clarity instead of reducing the carat number.
Smart choices to keep the price down
There are several points to keep in mind when finding a nice engagement ring while keeping your budget down. First, consider reducing the carat number of the diamond a little. Even a slight reduction in the carat number can significantly reduce the price. It is also effective to change the material of the ring from platinum to white gold. White gold is cheaper than platinum and is just as beautiful in appearance.
In addition to ready-made products, you should also consider semi-order and full-order. With semi-order, you can change parts of the design or choose the type of diamond. With full-order, you can create your ideal design. Bridal ring specialty stores handle rings in a variety of price ranges and will suggest the best plan to suit your budget. You can make even better purchases by comparing multiple stores and taking advantage of discount campaigns and special offers. Online shopping is also an option, but you should be careful because you cannot actually try them on.
