Nasr Bros Jewelers Plano: An Engagement Ring Guide

You’ve found the one, and you’re ready to take that next bended knee step, but do you know which ring will make her immediately say yes? At Nasr Bros Jewelers Plano, we draw on accumulated know-how, innovative techniques and tradition to assist you when shopping for the right engagement ring. When searching for the right ring, here’s what you need to know:

Pick the Perfect Gemstone

Consider a gemstone that is durable for everyday wear but one she will also fall in love with. While diamonds are the usual norm, there has also been a rise in moissanite and is very similar to the diamond. At a lower cost than diamonds, sapphires are also one of the hardest gemstones, ranking a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness and can come in various colors besides their notable deep blue.

Find the Right Shape

With ten shapes to choose from, there are plenty of options to find what’s best for your future bride-to-be. While a round cut is most popular, it also costs more than the other shapes. Consider a non-round diamond shape like the oval cut, princess cut, a square shape or the cushion cut, which is a happy medium between the round and princess cut.

Choose a Precious Metal

Think about a metal that will be the right choice for her. Does she tend to wear a lot of silver or gold? Consider other options like platinum, white gold, yellow gold and rose gold. While platinum and white gold are most popular, platinum is more durable and can cost about double that of white gold.

Select a Style

After you’ve decided on engagement ring basics, now’s the time to pick a style that’s perfect for her, but do you know what’s right? Think about her clothing, art and furniture preferences. Is her style sleek and modern or is she into more retro or vintage pieces? Thinking about her everyday style will help you find the best style unique to her personality.

When finding the perfect engagement ring, let us help you make your proposal the best it can be. Purchase ‘the one’ at Nasr Bros Jewelers Plano today!

Parents’ Night Out

When the kids are away, the parents can play. For these movies, we’d recommend calling a sitter and enjoying them without the presence of children. These are the movies that are rated R at Cinemark West Plano:
