Choosing the Perfect Engagement Ring

So you've decided to propose - congratulations! This is a moment that most women have been dreaming about since they were little girls, so you will want to make it as special as possible for her. And because she is the most adorable woman in the world, you will want to give to her a diamond engagement ring that is as beautiful and unique as she is, so here are some tips to help you choose the ring that is perfect for her.
 

Engagement rings you choose will be one of the most enduring pieces of your wedding day. Your ring is not only a important element of becoming married, but its also a long lasting symbol of your love and commitment. Therefore, you'll want to choose rings that are timeless and high quality. Ultimately, you'll also want to be an educated consumer who knows what you're getting for your dollar.

Here are some tips in choosing the perfect Engagement Ring

Style:
Follow your instincts with the look and design of your ring, while asking yourself if it will be a design you'll be comfortable wearing every day for the rest of your life. The traditional plain gold band will be in style for years to come. If that's too plain for you, consider a beaded edge or an engraved style. For a slightly flashier look, what about a ring of channel-set diamonds? Ultimately, choose a ring that you feel is expressive of your style and personality. I've heard of a couple that chose to have rings custom-made that resembled bicycle gears, reflecting their mutual love of bike-riding. There's really no wrong answer as to what style of ring you should choose.

Gold, White Gold or Platinum?
Many couples choose the metal for their bands by matching it to their engagement ring. However, don't feel bound to this. A bride can choose to wear her engagement ring on her right hand, and wedding ring on the left. Also, each of you can wear a similar style in different metals. Consider which metals each of you wear regularly - is most of her jewelry white? Is his watch gold?
 

• Yellow gold:
  the most traditional of ring metals; for many gold is a symbol of the warmth and love of a marriage. Look at the mark inside the band to see what quality the gold is - usually 14k, 18k, or 24k. While 24k is the most pure, it is also the softest. If you work with your hands, you may want to choose 14k to prevent scratches.
   
• White Gold:
  A hot trend because it coordinates with both silver and platinum jewelry, yet is cheaper than platinum.
   
• Platinum:
  This very stylish metal is also the hardest metal, making it for many a symbol of enduring love. Also, because its not mixed with the lesser metals that gold rings are, platinum is safe for those with alloys. However, you'll pay more for platinum than for gold

Diamonds:
Looking to buy a diamond engagement or wedding ring? Before you do so, read this article to make sure you are well acquainted with the four c's - color, cut, clarity, and carat.

CLARITY - Clarity refers to the size and number or natural inclusions or imperfections in a natural diamond.  All natural diamonds have some type of imperfections. Most are tiny black carbon spots or thin lines called feathers.  Some diamonds of lower quality have obvious eye visible inclusions.  Diamonds that are considered "eye clean" start at I1 and up.  Even though, by definition, I1 means eye visible inclusions, many good I1 stones have inclusions that are only visible under very close examination under strong light. The best value are those stones that are eye clean but not loop clean.

COLOR - The color of a diamond ranges from colorless to faint color down to light color.  Usually, stones in the   nearly colorless range (G-J) are considered white with no appearance of yellow. This range gives you a good value for your money.  These are most popular in engagement ring center stones.

CUT - This is not the diamond shape. Shapes include princess cut, oval, emerald cut, radiant cut, marquis, and other fancy shapes.  Cut refers to the proportions and angles the diamond is cut into.  The reason cut is important in your diamond purchase is 2 fold.  First of all, a diamond with an inferior cut may be too shallow or too deep. Shallow diamonds look funny and let the light escape through the sides.  A deep stone may be brilliant but it will appear smaller than a diamond cut to the proper proportions.  So if you buy a 1ct deep cut, it will appear like an 0.80ct or 0.90ct diamond cut properly.

CARAT - This is how much the diamond weighs, which in turn determines its size. As cooking has ounces and pounds, and farming has bushels and pecks, diamonds use carats, points, and grains. 1 carat weighs .20 grams. But since diamonds almost never come out in nice round numbers (like 1.00 carat), jewelers use "points." 1 point = 1/100th of a carat, or if you prefer, 1 carat = 100 points. So if a diamond weighs 0.64 carat, you can say with great expertise that it weighs 64 points.

When comparing diamonds, always compare them loose, and not when they're in the ring. It's easier to see imperfections that way and make sure that you don't surprised sometime in the future.   It is always best to deal with an experienced salesperson who has the diamond in front of them and can point out the natural imperfections in your diamond.

How Much Should I Spend on a Diamond Engagement Ring?

Prepare yourself to face sales pressure by deciding on your budget for an engagement ring before you start looking, based on your personal financial situation. Don't be influenced to spend more than you can afford because of fear, a desire to impress anybody, or pressure from a salesperson who may try to make you feel cheap or question your commitment. A rule of thumb is about 2 months salary.
