Selecting the perfect engagement ring is a significant milestone in a couple’s journey. Scheduling an appointment at Lauren B offers the opportunity to receive assistance from our design consultants and explore a wide range of options. By coming prepared, you’ll maximize your time and ensure that your partner receives their dream ring.
Plan Ahead of Your Appointment
A realistic timeline is crucial while planning an engagement. Alongside your target proposal date, you’ll want to consider the production times needed for your ring. Whether you opt for a custom designed engagement ring or a ring that’s already in stock, understanding the time frame allows you to make your plans accordingly.
To ensure the highest quality possible, our custom rings typically require a 3-5 week production time. We can offer a rush order for an additional fee, but we recommend planning ahead to avoid any delays. In-stock rings generally require less time and can be shipped promptly after quality control.
During peak seasons, there may be fewer appointments available. Booking an appointment earlier rather than later is essential to secure your desired time slot. This will allow you plenty of time to work with your design consultant and leave room for production times and further adjustments as needed.
By planning ahead, you can avoid any potential delays and ensure that your ring is ready when you need it.
Know Your Budget Before Your Appointment
Setting a clear budget is essential as you begin planning your engagement. This will help you stay objective during your appointment.
You may not realize but there are several ways to save on the final price of your engagement ring. Lab-grown diamonds, for example, offer exceptional value, providing the same quality as a natural diamond at a fraction of the cost. Choosing a gemstone such as moissanite could also save a significant amount of money, as they have a similar appearance to a diamond with slight differences. The 4 C’s, color, cut, clarity, and carat weight also have an impact on the final cost of your engagement ring.
At Lauren B, we do offer flexible payment options so that you don’t have to break the bank. We offer financing options, along with six to twelve month layaway plans. Our goal is to provide you with a seamless shopping experience so that you can focus on finding the perfect ring without stress.
Do Your Research
Our design consultants are here to help you every step of the way. However, educating yourself on diamond characteristics and engagement ring styles will make your shopping process much easier.
If you’re shopping for your partner’s engagement ring alone, make sure you know their style preferences. With all the different ring options, you want to make sure you at least know if the prefer a three-stone or a solitaire ring. This will help you choose a ring they’ll love. Some couples also choose to go to the appointment together for a more personalized experience.
