How many stores should you visit to look at bridal rings?
Some people may be visiting a jewelry store for the first time when they purchase an engagement or wedding ring. Especially since it is a special ring, they may be worried about how many stores they should visit.
How many stores do you visit before deciding on a ring?
The average seems to be 2-3 stores. Most people seem to decide on 5 stores or less. Some people go to 10 stores or more.
Information gathering
Nowadays, most people gather information from social media and websites before visiting a store. When you look at a store's website, you can get a good idea of the store's atmosphere, the concept of the rings they make, what they focus on, and other characteristics, so it's fun just to look at it.
In the past, I also assumed that there wasn't much design variation for small wedding rings, and that all of them were set in stone, but I was very surprised when I realized that there are many different types, from the material to the setting of the stones, and that the atmosphere can change greatly depending on who makes them.
It's a good idea to make a reservation
If you find a store that interests you, try making a reservation first. It gets especially busy on weekends, so it's a good idea to make a reservation. However, reservations aren't absolutely necessary, so you might just pop in and find a great ring.
You should allow yourself an hour to get an explanation of the rings, try them on, and take your measurements. Most people stay in the store for about 70 minutes. It's the same at KARAFURU. If you have plans after your visit, please let us know.
Try it on
On average, you will try on about 10 rings in a store. The way they look and feel on your skin may be different, so try on as many as you can. Since you will be wearing them for a long time, it is important that they are comfortable to wear.
Also, when choosing your wedding ring, please bring your engagement ring with you. If you choose wedding rings that can be stacked together, you will be able to enjoy your rings in more situations and wear them for a long time.
Points to note when checking out the property
When choosing a ring, you don't want to compromise, so here are four points to keep in mind when going to look at them.
1. Decide on a rough budget
2. Understand your preferred design and taste
3. Try it on
4. Don't forget to check after-sales service
If you look at too many, it will be difficult to decide which one is best, so if you keep the points above in mind, it may be easier to decide.
How many stores per day?
The average number of stores visited in a day seems to be two to three. For women who are used to shopping, this may not be a big deal, but for men, two stores may be the limit. Try to relax and take a break at a cafe in between.
If your partner isn't keen on choosing a ring, it might be a good idea to look around by yourself after work or during your free time, and then decide on a store that's the one for you and go there together.
There are many cases where men or women come alone to look at properties. This is also common at KARAFURU, so please feel free to come.
Another option is to check out many brands at once at department stores, select shops, wedding fairs, etc., and then go to each individual store. This is an efficient way to see the current trends at a glance and compare brands.
We hope you will experience the excitement and thrill that can only be experienced when making a ring, and find that one wonderful ring.
