Buy engagement rings in-store vs online

Buying an engagement ring in-store

Going to the physical jewellery store is the more traditional method to purchase or design a ring. It has been the only choice for so long, but now times have changed. That doesn’t mean buying a ring in person has now been made redundant. In fact, it offers many benefits that online shopping cannot! 

Check out these points to see why going to the physical jewellers is still worth the trip.

It is easier to see the design you are getting

You have to see it to believe it! It is all good and well to see an image on a screen, but nothing will portray a ring better than seeing it in person.

When it comes to an engagement ring, you should carefully choose the ring you desire and make sure that all aspects are perfect. 

Seeing it in an image isn’t always true to size and can be quite deceiving to the final product’s quality. This is especially true for the stones used in diamond engagement rings. Checking the ring in person gives you more opportunity to thoroughly inspect the quality and how it looks rather than taking a gamble. 

The bottom line is you want a guaranteed and verified product for something as important as an engagement ring. Especially as it is a symbol representing the commitment and love you have for your partner.

You receive a more personal service

One of the top perks of buying in an actual store is getting a bespoke, personal experience that an online store lacks.

By visiting the jeweller in person, you are rewarded with an invaluable customer journey. 

At Midas Jewellery, we treat all of our customers with a warm and welcoming experience. Our unmatched service includes getting to know our customers, walking them through the design process and explaining each design to understand the high quality they are receiving.

If you shop online, you don’t get the personal face-to-face customer service. For a cherished possession as crucial as an engagement ring, you must understand the effort your jeweller puts into the process and creation of your ring. This is an experience you only get from shopping in-store.

Plus, the little details are taken care of. Final polishing and lifetime cleaning services are just some of the benefits you get from buying at a physical store.

You personally pick up the ring and keep it safeguarded

The positive of buying in person is you get to pick up your ring and ensure it is kept safe. You don’t have to worry about the handling or delivery of your ring at all.

There would be nothing worse than to pay for a ring you’ve never seen for it to go missing in transit! To add to the unmatched personal experience buying in-store provides, you get to see the finished product before taking it home, ready to be proposed with.

This means that after being in the jeweller’s safe hands, it is directly put into yours (unless you decide to have it delivered to you, but generally, it is picked up by the customer).
