subject: Finding The Right Shape Of Loose Sapphires, Emeralds And Rubies For Your Rings [print this page] One of the most important parts of any ring is the type of gemstone used as the centerpiece. No matter, whether you choose the loose rubies, sapphires or emeralds as your centerpiece you have to make the right decision so as to make sure that you do not waste your money on something worthless.
The most important thing about the loose sapphires, emeralds or rubies is their shape. Here are some tips to make the right choice regarding the shape:
The right thing to be done is to ask the person who is going to wear the ring about the kind of shape he or she will prefer to wear on his or her finger. This way an intelligent choice can be made matching his or her preference.
One of the most popular ways in case of arranging a surprise is to simply check the shapes of loose emeralds, sapphires and rubies used in the other jewelry worn by the person whom the ring is meant for. This also helps to ensure that the ring goes well with the other pieces of jewelry.
It also helps a lot to decide the budget beforehand so that you can easily find the right shape. This is very important as the different shapes come with different price tags. Usually, the cheapest possible shapes are the classic ones like the round shape which is very common. However, when it comes to the shapes that are somewhat unique, the prices tend to get higher. This is because there is a lot of effort involved in cutting the loose rubies, sapphires and emeralds into unique shapes.
It is also very important that you examine the shape of the hands and the fingers to take a decision regarding the shape of the loose sapphires, emeralds or rubies. Usually, the round shaped rubies go well with all type of fingers. In case the person who has to wear the rings has tapered and thin fingers, the elongated diamond shapes will be perfect for him or her.
It is important to go to the local jewelers to compare the various popular gemstone shapes. It is equally important to go ahead and check out the loose emeralds, sapphires and rubies boasting of different carat weight and quality standards. This way one can easily compare the shape of the rubies with regards to their visual appearance. The shape and carat weight should not take away from the overall beauty of the ring, it should add to the appearance instead.
