Choose the Perfect Engagement Ring


 
Relationships

Getting engaged can be one of life's most exciting events; it can also be somewhat stressful. Once you've made the decision to propose, you'll want to start thinking about an engagement ring. Choosing the perfect ring for the love of your life can be a daunting task; however, if you take time to become educated, it can also be very rewarding. There are many styles of rings available. For example, you may want to consider a rose gold micro pave engagement ring, or a traditional diamond solitaire. You can begin your search online or in a local jewelry store.

How to Shop for the Perfect Engagement Ring

  • Decide before you start shopping what your budget is, and stick to it. Be upfront with the jeweler about how much you can spend, and remain firm. It's hard to resist an enthusiastic salesperson, but remember that it's your time and money. You may be able to find the style you want at more than one jewelry store. Take time to shop around for the best price.
  • After you decide to propose, start listening for hints as to what your partner likes. You may hear them mention a friend's ring or a style they like. If it's mutually understood that you are headed toward marriage, you may want to take a day to casually browse jewelry stores together. You can learn a lot about personal taste by the clothes and jewelry they wear. Hopefully you know them well enough to decide if they will like something traditional, classic, or contemporary.
  • Friends can be a great resource. Ask your friends if they have a jeweler they recommend. If your partner has a close friend, consult them to see if they have any helpful advice. You can even consider taking them shopping with you, if you're sure they'll be discreet.
  • Once you have an idea about the style you want, start thinking about the band. The band is usually made from yellow gold, white gold, silver, or platinum. The more you know about the different types of metal, the less chance you have of being taken advantage of. Gold is yellow in color and is usually blended with other metal to make it more durable. White gold is mixed with other metals to make it silver in color. Platinum is hard, strong, and naturally silver, but the finish will dull slightly over time. The metal you choose should complement the color of the stone and the skin tone of the person wearing it.
  • The stone is the centerpiece of an engagement ring. It can be sapphire, ruby, emerald, topaz, or any other type of gemstone; however, a diamond is far and away the most popular. A diamond is the hardest transparent substance available, one hundred times harder than a ruby or sapphire. Before choosing a diamond, educate yourself on the 4 C's of diamond classification.

The 4 C's of Diamond Classification

  1. Cut: The cut is possibly the most important factor in a diamond's beauty. A diamond's cut and proportion determines its brilliance. Each facet disperses light; more facets create more beauty. Remember not to confuse cut with shape. Shapes can include round, brilliant, oval, pear, baguette, and marquise. A round, brilliant-cut diamond has 58 facets, which makes it more brilliant than the other shapes.
  2. Color: A diamond's color is given a grade from D, which is colorless, through Z, which is yellow in tone. Natural diamonds can also be found in various colors, such as blue, pink green, and black. Colored diamonds are becoming more popular for engagement rings.
  3. Clarity: The clarity of a diamond is rated on internal imperfections and external blemishes. The fewer inclusions and blemishes, the more the diamond is worth.
  4. Carat weight: Diamonds are measured by their weight. A carat contains 100 points; if a stone weighs 50 points, it's a 1/2 carat stone.

Now that you have done your research and found the perfect rose gold micro pave engagement ring, or another perfect style, all you have to do is propose and live happily ever after!
