The Rules (and Tips) To Keep in Mind When Buying Diamond Engagement Rings

Prior to starting the engagement ring shopping, it is recommended that you go through some of the rules and tips on finding the perfect diamond engagement ring. Keep in mind that the whole process will not be easy and it may confuse you from time to time. This can all change once you have equipped yourself with the right knowledge about diamonds.

Here are some of the tips and rules that you should know about before you go engagement ring shopping.

1.    Know The Shape.

Even before you take a look at the diamond's 4C's-- cut, clarity, carat and color), the first thing that you should think about is the shape of the diamond that you wish to give your significant other. The most common shape would be a round brilliant cut diamond engagement ring. Aside from this, you can find various diamond shapes like pear-cut, oval, princess cut and heart engagement rings. Take time to understand the pros and cons of each shape to know what shape your diamond should have.

2.    Think of The Setting.

The frame of metal where the diamond is mounted on will also play a very important role on how the ring would look like. In addition to that, it is also important in protecting and maintaining the integrity of the diamond. Keep in mind that the right combination of setting and shape must be achieved.

3.    Keep A Close Look At Her Style.

If you have decided to buy the ring on your own, then it is best that you do some research or seek recommendations from the people closest to her. Another great idea is to take a look at the types and styles of rings that she usually wears.

4.    Take A Look At the Metal.

The band is as equally important as the diamond. You can choose from a wide array of metals-- gold, silver, platinum and many more. Today, white gold engagement rings are becoming popular.

Now that you have all the basics down pat, then it is about time that you enjoy your ring shopping. Good luck on finding that perfect diamond!
