Look into your \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/\" >online jeweler's\u003C/a>\u003C/span> credentials before buying an engagement ring online. Read through their entire website and understand everything you need to know about their shipping process, return policies, and customer services. Also, check for customer reviews on review sites to gain insight into the quality of their customer care and services.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Buy Only Certified Diamonds\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">When you buy an engagement ring online, it must come with a diamond certificate that gives you all the details you should know about your diamond. The diamond certificate confirms the quality of your gemstone and is unique to your diamond. A certificate from GIA, IGI, or GCAL is most reliable as they come from leading diamond grading institutions that authenticate the quality of your gemstone.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Don't Skip the Return Policy Section\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">There will be times when, for unforeseeable reasons, you may have to return your ring to your online jeweler when buying an engagement ring online. You must read through the \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/customer-service\" >return policy\u003C/a>\u003C/span> in case a situation arises where you need to return or exchange your ring.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Check on the duration you have to return or exchange your ring. Is it free, or will you be charged for it? Is the cost of the shipping return covered by the online jeweler? Do you have to pay a fee to resize your ring? And does your ring have a lifetime warranty and upgrade?\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">These are just a few of the questions you should browse through when reading your online jeweler's return policy. If your online jeweler doesn't have a return policy, you should quit shopping from that portal and find one with a return and exchange policy.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Check on the Shipping Procedures\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Your online jeweler's \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/customer-service\" >shipping procedures\u003C/a>\u003C/span> determine the safety of your ring when it leaves the showroom to make it to your doorstep. A reliable jeweler offers free shipping and delivers your package to trustworthy pick-up destinations like USPS and FedEx in case you are unavailable when your ring is delivered.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Size It Right\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Shopping for an engagement ring online requires getting the \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/how-to-find-ring-size\" >ring size\u003C/a>\u003C/span> right. The size of a ring is measured in millimeters and is the measure of the ring's inner circumference. To figure out your partner's ring size, either ask her friends and family or size up a ring from her jewelry box if planning a surprise, or just ask your partner if the proposal is not a surprise.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Check the Diamond Cut\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The cut of your chosen diamond determines how well your gemstone shall interact with light. It is one of the most important aspects of the \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/4-cs-of-diamonds\" >Diamond 4 Cs\u003C/a>\u003C/span>, i.e., cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. The cut comes down to the diamond cutter's expertise and must be looked at thoroughly when buying an engagement ring online. Check for 360-degree videos of the diamond to see its brilliance and sparkle.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Search for Eye Clean Diamonds\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">By eye clean, we mean blemishes; external flaws and inclusions; internal flaws that can't be seen with the naked eye. Look at the diamond on the jeweler's online store carefully to determine its clarity to get an eye-clean diamond when buying an engagement ring online.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Assess the Color\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Perfect diamonds have no hue and are rare. A diamond's colorlessness is graded from D; colorless to Z; light yellow. D diamonds are considered the most valuable. However, diamonds in the G to I range appear colorless and are priced lesser than gemstones in the D to F range. Make sure you look closely at the diamond's photograph and video to assess its color when buying an engagement ring online.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Choose Your Carat Weight\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Carat denotes the diamond's weight. The price of your diamond goes up with an increase in carat size. We recommend focusing on your \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/types-of-diamond-cut-shape\" >diamond's cut\u003C/a>\u003C/span>, clarity, and color before utilizing the rest of your budget on the carat weight.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Go Eco-Friendly\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Sustainability is the need of the hour, especially with all the mined diamond industry is infamous for. \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/lab-diamonds\" >Lab diamonds created\u003C/a>\u003C/span> in state-of-the-art laboratories leave a smaller carbon footprint on the planet, are part of an ethical supply chain, and are 100 percent conflict-free gemstones. They are also 40 to 50 percent cheaper than lab diamonds, making them a budget-friendly option. They have the sparkle of natural diamonds as they are physically, chemically, and optically the same.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4>Get Expert Advice\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Getting expert advice puts you at ease when shopping for an engagement ring online. Request to speak to somebody on your online jeweler's customer care service team to have all your doubts and questions resolved before you buy an engagement ring online.
