Diamond Engagement Rings

Diamond engagement rings come in many different styles and can be fabricated with just as many different metals so that the task of picking the perfect ring becomes very daunting.

One thing that is common with most engagement rings is that they have a diamond in them. Cuts of diamonds can vary in size and clarity as well as many different shapes to choose from: round, princess, pear, oval, emerald, heart, marquise, and trillion to name just a few. What you want to consider is the style of the cut that you like and whether she would want something very traditional (round) or something more modern.

Now you may be thinking, “How in the world would I know what cuts of stone she favors when I can hardly pick out clothes she would like to wear?”

Here are a few tips:

Take a look at the style of rings your partner has already.
Then take note at which cut she favors and look at what types of rings her friends have previously purchased for her.
It wouldn’t hurt to ask some of her closest friends that can keep a secret to see which she would prefer.
While strolling down a shopping center, your significant other may pass by a jewelry shop, take note at which style and cut brings that sparkle to her eye.

After choosing the right diamond engagement ring cut, next up is the style. Solitaire diamond engagement rings have always been the tradition and a favorite amongst women; however, the more contemporary styles include clusters and three stone placements. One must also consider the size of the diamond. A large diamond is always nice, but bear in mind that it has to fit next to the wedding band while also suiting your partner.

If you can get into her jewelry box then you should be able to see whether yellow gold, white gold or platinum is her favorite. Try and take a ring with you to the jewelers so you can get the right size too. You want to buy a diamond engagement ring that she will be comfortable with and can also wear straight away.

To ensure you that you purchase the best you diamond engagement ring that you can afford then use what the industry calls the 4 C's. The 4 C’s are carat, clarity, color and cut. Ask the jeweler about each of these aspects and you will be able to determine the rarity of the diamond. Typical diamond engagement rings costs around 1 and a half to 3 months salary but if this is too expensive, purchase an engagement ring within your budget. At the end of the day, if you put a lot of consideration in to it then the ring should be fine.
