The gemologist gave advice on choosing an engagement ring for the bride

"First of all, the ring should reflect the taste and style of the bride. Pay attention to how she dresses every day, what jewelry she prefers," the expert said.

One of the main dilemmas that grooms face is the color and size of the stone, she noted. According to her, a white diamond is universal due to the fact that it remains timeless, retains its value and is combined with any jewelry. The number of carats is not always the main criterion — sometimes the purity of a stone or its cut play a more important role, Shamilova emphasized.

Colored diamonds are also gaining popularity in the world of jewelry. Everyone has their own story and character, the gemologist said. For example, blue is associated with fidelity, while pink is associated with tenderness and romance.

The expert stressed that when choosing an engagement ring, it is necessary to pay special attention to the features of the hands. So, according to her, elongated shapes such as "pear" or "marquis" look better on long fingers, and compact shapes such as "circle" and "princess" are suitable for small hands. It is also important to think about how an engagement ring will be combined with an engagement ring. It is better to choose an ornament with a not very massive and high central stone, so that both rings are combined on the finger, Shamilova recommended.

Another important aspect is the choice of metal. When choosing it, it is worth considering the skin tone: for example, white gold or platinum are better suited for cold skin tones, and yellow for warm ones. Titanium has also become popular now — it is lighter than other metals, but at the same time it is quite resistant to damage, the gemologist concluded.

On February 16, Sokolov jewelry brand expert Elena Rakutina told Izvestia that how to choose men's jewelry. According to her, any rings in a concise design will do. Of the watches, the most versatile will be products on a link bracelet, and it is better to choose a chain of medium length and classic weave. She advised choosing white metal and a minimalistic design without decor and stones for strict images, and gold for special occasions when you need to emphasize the importance of the moment.
