Before we get into the crux of the matter, let us remind you that it would be nice that you ask her parents first. Yes, this is the new age and not really warranted; but it is a nice thing to do and they would respect you for it.
Choosing your Engagement Diamond Ring:
Budget – We understand that budget plays a big role when it comes to the buying of an engagement diamond ring for your girlfriend. There are some who might want to keep it simple and go in for imitations. But frankly speaking a diamond is a girl’s best friend and she would love it if you give her a diamond ring. Depending on your budget you can decide on the cut, clarity, shape, and so on. You can shop around, get some ideas of the pricing, get suggestions from reliable jewelers and then decide.
Metal – The kind of special metal you choose will also matter as far as the looks of the ring and your budget goes. You can go for platinum, palladium or yellow gold in 18k or 14k.
Diamond – Obviously, when it comes to engagement diamond rings, the most important selection is the shape of a diamond. The most common shape that people choose is round or princess cut. There are other cuts too like oval, emerald cut, marquise cut, pear shaped, heart shaped and asscher cut. Next comes the size of the diamond. Size largely would depend on your budget. Once that is selected you need to think about the four C’s of a diamond namely the cut, color, clarity, and the carat. All this together determines the cost and the brilliance of the engagement diamond rings.
- Cut – The cut of a diamond is one of the most important aspects. It is the cut that determines how much a diamond can sparkle and shine. A shallow cut won’t give you the shine you are looking for. If done in the right proportions, light literally emits out of the diamond.
- Color – Usually the colorless diamonds gives you the best value and price. If not try and go for at least near colorless.
- Similarly the carat and clarity (without any inclusions) of the diamond also matters a lot.
After this entire process, do not forget the engagement diamond ring's size. If you get that wrong, it could get quite embarrassing and awkward. You can always get it resized but it still wouldn’t be the same. So you need to find ways to get your girlfriends finger size. Maybe you could borrow a ring of hers (on the sly of course) as a sample.
