Want to find the perfect diamond ring for your engagement? Well, the rule of thumb here is the bigger, the better. I am not taking about the ring size: it’s the size of the rock that counts. If you want to impress your girl, nothing short of a fist-sized diamond will make a dramatic impact.
Ask any girl about engagement rings, and she’d tell you that finding the right one would be a dream. Getting that perfect engagement ring doesn’t have to be a fantasy, however, if you plan out your budget with your partner and start hunting in advance. Diamond costs may fluctuate and other discounts you come across can help to reduce cost. You can fetch a better ring at the same price!
One of the most practical and wearable one is the 3 carat diamond ring. It has diamonds worth 3 carats available in gold, silver or platinum. Of course, you can opt for a solitaire or go for a cluster. Opt for classy and timeless designs since the engagement ring is there to last for a lifetime.
Another option is the solitaire ring, which usually costs a little more. But don’t shy away from this classic ring just because of the price. Remember that certified diamonds are an investment, so only pick certified and hallmark approved diamonds. Shapes of the diamond can vary on the cut, like square, rectangle, and round. I love the heart-shaped pink diamond solitaire rings. Sigh! They are so romantic.
You can also check out emerald diamond rings or even turquoise, ruby or sapphire with diamonds. These embedded diamonds enhance the look of colored stone and are more economical. Princess Diana had a blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which her son Prince William will present to his fiancée to keep her memory alive.
Remember when choosing your engagement ring that it is an opportunity to get one you’ve fantasized about since you were a little girl. Here are some tips that you should keep in mind while picking your engagement ring:
- Fashion trends come and go, but your engagement ring is forever, so don’t give fashion trends undue influence your ultimate decision.
- Pick a stone or ring-style that you adore.
- Platinum and silver rings are very popular, but I still love the matte gold or white gold engagement rings, especially with diamonds.
- Do ask your fiancé’s opinion (even if you know at the back of your mind what you would pick).
