How to choose your celebrity ring
Most couples do not have the capacity to choose as royalty or celebrities can do. Therefore, couples must first decide which feature of a celebrity engagement ring that they want to imitate.
This choice may include characteristics like size, design, style, price, imitated or real precious stone etc.
Size:
If your attraction of a celebrity engagement ring is on the size, then most couples cannot pay for it. However, it is possible to duplicate a celebrity ring’s size with low-quality imitation diamonds or gemstones. It is considerably low in price and can be afforded by many. However, it may not have the same glitter as the real one. One among such types that can be replicated is Cubic zirconia exorbitant rings as it is comparatively affordable yet stills a gorgeous option.
Another method to duplicate a celebrity ring’s size is to regulate the settings or style of the ring, to imitate its appearance of the original. For example, to afford a bigger center stone a different quality metal such as white gold can be used as a substitute for a more expensive metal like platinum.
Genuineness:
For a genuine celebrity model ring, the easy way to make is, to proportionally decrease the size of the whole ring. That is by using an 18-carat center stone; it would be possible to make a beautiful copy of Princess Diana engagement ring. This contains a smaller sapphire surrounded by smaller diamonds while the copy may not be the same.
Imitation Rings:
Another option to replicate a ring with proper size and appearance is to go for a complete replica ring. That is, rings without true gemstones and without gold or another precious metal. However, most couples may not accept these choices for an engagement ring, as it is a unique way for a substitute of choosing a copy ring of favorite celebrity.
Cost:
Original celebrity engagement rings may cost well above a two-month salary for an average salaried employee. For such the replicated rings are affordable and the best option. A high-quality celebrity engagement ring may cost up to $1,000 and the lowest end of the price bracket includes replica rings that sell for less than $100. The cost can be still reduced by using imitated precious metals and attractive gems. The choice depends on the budget of a couple, the intent of the ring or quirky substitute, and the overall quality of the piece.
So it all adds up to the fact that, it depends on how memorable and different you want to make the occasion. If you want to make your loved-one feel special then make a go for the best one. Truly it’s a once in the life event.
