Details of our Pear Shape Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring Setting
Q. Why does it take so long to produce an engagement ring?
We don't just ship stock rings from a pre-made inventory. Most of the settings we sell are made-to-order specifically to fit the measurements of your center stone and your specific ring size. When we produce a ring for you, it is perfectly suited for your diamond and your hand. By doing this, we don't have to make any modifications to a pre-made ring that would weaken its structure or compromise the security of your center stone.
Q. Can my order be expedited?
Yes. Although the standard time for custom jewelry production is 5 weeks, we are able to work with our designers to accommodate most special requests for a rush order, either at no additional cost or with a nominal charge to cover increased shipping costs.
Call us at (877) 446-4030 to discuss special handling for your order.
Q. How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
Not as much as you might think. Jewelers love to take advantage of buyers and convince them that they need to spend an inflated sum ("two months' salary", etc.) in order to get a ring that looks nice. The truth is, by applying your budget carefully and investing in attributes that will yield the greatest visual effect, without overspending on less important areas, you will be able to purchase a beautiful diamond engagement ring that is both visually stunning and on-budget.
Q. Why are engagement rings so expensive?
The traditional markup for engagement rings is 300% of cost. While the industry has become more competitive, the markup charged by most retail jewelry outlets and chains is still extremely high, in order to cover the overhead of their stores and personnel. In addition to this, sales associates are paid on commission, and it's in their own best interests to convince you to spend as much money as possible. Emma Parker & Co. is different. Nobody here is paid on commission. We are focused on meeting your needs on your budget. Doing business on the Internet, we operate with a minimum of overhead – and pass the savings on to you.
We can help you customize a ring and choose a center stone to meet your budget. Call us at (877) 446-4030.
