10 Insider Engagement Ring Tips from Julie

Unlocking the secrets to finding your dream engagement ring: 10 expert hacks you need to know all about.
by

As a jewelry enthusiast and someone who has gone through the process of finding the perfect engagement ring, I understand how overwhelming and stressful it can be. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start or what to look for. That’s why I decided to write a blog post about 10 engagement ring hacks that can help make the process easier and less daunting.

Through my research and personal experience, I have learned some valuable tips and tricks that I want to share with others who may be embarking on this journey. Whether you’re looking to make your ring appear larger, add a personal touch, or simply want to keep it safe and secure, these hacks are designed to make the process more manageable and enjoyable.

Ultimately, I hope that this blog post will help you navigate the world of engagement rings with more confidence and ease, and perhaps even inspire you to discover your own unique and meaningful ways to express your love and commitment.

  1. If you want your engagement ring to appear larger, you can choose a higher-carat weight, a larger stone, or a slimmer and more simple ring design.
  2. If your engagement ring has a large stone, you may consider adding a diamond or gemstone-studded band to increase its sparkle and bling effect.
  3. If you want your engagement ring to look more unique, you can consider adding colored stones or embellishments in the form of flowers, leaves, or other symbols that have personal meaning for you and your partner.
  4. If your engagement ring is too big or too small, you can have it resized by Abelstedt to fit your finger perfectly.
  5. If your engagement ring has a scratch or a blemish, you can have it polished or repaired by a professional jeweler.
  6. If your engagement ring has a delicate stone such as a pearl or an opal, you should avoid wearing the ring during activities that may damage the stone.
  7. If you want your engagement ring to shine and sparkle, you can clean it regularly with a soft brush and mild soapy water or a special jewelry cleaner.
  8. If you want to avoid losing your engagement ring, you can invest in a ring holder or a special jewelry dish for storage.
  9. If you want to add a personal touch to your engagement ring, you can engrave a message or a special symbol on the ring.
  10. If you want to protect your engagement ring from theft or loss, you may consider getting it insured or storing it in a secure place when you are not wearing it.

How to Measure

The Tape Method

1. Grab a tape measure, string, or strip of paper.

2. Wrap it around the finger you’ll wear your ring on—if you’re creating a ring stack, consider where on your finger the ring will sit—and mark where it joins with a pen.

3. Lay your string or paper strip on a flat surface and measure the length up to the mark using a ruler. Use the chart above to match the measurement to the closest Abelstedt ring size.

Measure finger for ring size

Measure an Existing Ring

1. Choose a ring that already fits the finger well.

2. Measure the inner diameter of the ring in millimeters (mm).

3. Use the measurement chart above to match the size of your ring to the closest Abelstedt size in mm.

Abelstedt Gifting Tips

  • If you’re between sizes, go for the larger size if the ring is wide and the smaller size if the ring is narrow.
  • There’s not a large difference between two subsequent sizes on the size chart. If in doubt, go with your gut. You can always exchange the size through our easy returns process.
