Accompany someone while shopping.

Choosing a gold ring for your father may not be an easy task. It is better to consider the opinions of someone else as well. We recommend you go with your mom, sister or brother. If they are busy or unable to come, you can go with your friend. It will help in choosing jewellers as well.

Type of gold 

Choosing what kind of gold you will use for the ring is very important. There are many options to choose from. 14k, 18k, 22k and 24k are a few of those.

There is yellow gold and rose gold, and you can choose from these according to your preference.  

Price comparison

When choosing a gold ring for your father, meeting a few jewellers is better. It will help you to get an idea about the prices of gold jewellery. Hence, do not buy the first ring that you see. Take your time and visit two or three shops at least. There is a chance of finding the same jewellery at a lower price at another store. One more thing. You can shop at online shops as well. On certain occasions, the prices in online stores could be lower than in physical ones. Here is another tip. With the help of Google images, you will be able to locate what you want with ease. 

Other than this, you should check the weight of the actual gold. If there are additional stones on the ring, it is vital to get measured for the gold in it. But why? The stones on a ring can make the ring heavier, and you may eventually pay more for the gold ring.
