Jared is a US jewellery retailer, part of Signet, known for engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond jewellery and watches. It sells online and through its Jared Galleria stores.
A good Jared order depends on understanding diamond grades, getting ring size right, and choosing a metal and setting that suit daily wear.
Reading diamond grades
Diamonds are graded on the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity and carat. Cut affects sparkle most, so many buyers prioritise it.
Colour runs from colourless to faint yellow. Near-colourless grades often look white once set, especially in yellow gold.
Clarity measures inclusions. Many eye-clean diamonds sit in the middle grades, so check the grade and the photos on the Jared page.
Certificates and lab-grown options
Check whether a Jared diamond comes with a grading report and which lab issued it. That report confirms the stated grades.
Jared sells both natural and lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown stones are chemically diamond and usually cost less for the same size.
Compare the two side by side at the same grade. Decide based on budget and preference.
Getting ring size right
Ring size is best measured by a jeweller. Jared stores can size fingers in person.
Fingers swell in warmth and shrink in cold, so measure at a normal temperature. Wide bands usually need a slightly larger size.
If the ring is a surprise, borrow a ring the wearer already uses. Check the current Jared resizing terms in case it needs adjusting.
Settings and metals
Solitaire, halo and three-stone settings are the main engagement styles. A halo makes the centre stone look larger.
Platinum is dense and durable. White gold is lighter and may need re-plating over time.
Prong settings show more of the diamond. Bezel settings protect the stone better for active hands.
Care and protection plans
Clean diamond jewellery gently with warm water and a soft brush. Have prongs checked regularly.
Jared offers protection plans on many pieces. Read the terms and decide whether they suit you.
Insure an engagement ring separately if it is valuable. Keep the receipt and grading report safe.
Diamond shapes
Round brilliant is the most popular shape and usually the most expensive per carat. It gives the most sparkle.
Oval, pear and marquise shapes can look larger than a round diamond of the same carat. Princess and cushion cuts suit a more classic square look.
Emerald and Asscher cuts show clarity more openly. Pick a higher clarity grade if you choose one of these shapes at Jared.
Wedding bands and matching sets
Jared sells bridal sets with an engagement ring and a matching band. These are designed to sit flush together.
If you buy separately, check that the band will sit next to the engagement ring's setting. Some halo and low-set styles need a curved or notched band.
Men's wedding bands come in gold, platinum, tungsten and other metals. Tungsten is hard to resize, so get the size right first.
Watches and other jewellery
Jared also sells earrings, pendants, bracelets and watches from well-known brands. These are common gift purchases.
Diamond stud earrings are graded like rings. Check the total carat weight and whether it covers both earrings.
Check each watch listing for movement type and warranty. Jared's jewellery policies may differ from brand watch warranties.
Buying online vs in store
Seeing a diamond in person at a Jared store helps you judge sparkle and colour. Online photos and videos help but are not the same.
Online ordering suits buyers who already know the grade and size. Check the current Jared return window before you order.
Some pieces can be ordered online and picked up in store. That lets you check the ring before taking it home.
Setting a budget
Decide on a total budget before browsing Jared, then balance the 4Cs inside it. Dropping one colour or clarity grade can free money for a better cut or a larger stone.
Carat weights just under round numbers, such as 0.9 instead of 1.0, can cost noticeably less and look nearly the same. Compare these on the Jared site.
Leave room in the budget for sizing, engraving and insurance. Those extras add up quickly.
Where the Jared savings are
The enjoy code takes $25 off. On a Jared order, check at checkout whether there is a minimum spend.
The free shipping code helps on small orders like earrings or a pendant. On a larger ring order, shipping may already be included.
On a high-value ring, $25 is a small share. Sales events may save more, so compare prices before buying.
