What To Look For InDiamond EngagementRings

You've found the perfect
partner and life and want to
show her how much she
means to you by astounding
her with the perfect
diamond engagement ring
when you propose. What a
fantastic way to show
someone how much you
adore and love her than to
present her with a gem as
unique and flawless as she
is. There are so many
shapes and sizes of
diamond from which to
choose as well as a plethora
of settings. There are preset
diamonds and loose
diamonds to put into a
gorgeous setting of white
gold, yellow gold or
platinum. There are also
very different rings available
made of meteorite or
titanium.
Of course there are the
three "C's", cut, clarity and
carat. Cut and clarity
overshadow carat weight
because a bigger diamond
doesn't meant a better
diamond. They may have
more flaws which detracts
from the sparkle and beauty
of the diamond. It's not the
size of the diamond that
matters or the amount that's
spent. Should you choose a
preset diamond in a setting
you can find them at any
fine jewelry store and
anyone there would be
happy to answer questions.
Any reputable jewelry store
will offer a guarantee when
buying diamonds. All they
ask is that you have the
diamonds inspected a
certain number of times per
year.
The various shapes of
diamonds can add to the
splendor of it. There are
square or princess cuts,
round, oval, pear, marquise,
asscher, brilliant and
emerald. Each cut has it's
own splendid brilliance and
is really a personal
preference. If you are ring
shopping with your
significant other, pay
attention to her response to
diamond shape and
precious metal preferences.
If you are shopping alone
and surprising your lady
with the ring, be sure you
have the right size. Once
she accepts your proposal
and you place the ring on
her finger, she will NOT
want to take it off so having
the correct size is
exceedingly important. It
can be sized at a later time,
but no bride-to-be will want
to be without her token of
love.
Have fun shopping for the
ring and know that she has
probably dropped many
not-so-subtle hints about
what she desires. Don't be
afraid to ask her. Just as
every woman is special, so
should her engagement ring
be. Best of luck to you!
