Choosing The Right Ring

Choosing the perfect engagement ring is really a matter of personal taste. Even though surprising your girlfriend with an engagement ring is well…. a surprise you might want to make sure the engagement ring you pick out for her is one she will adore and want to wear for her life time. After all she will be wearing it as a symbol of your lifelong commitment with one another. There are many styles out there to choose from classic, modern, vintage and antique just to name a few. You could talk to her about what engagement ring styles she would like and maybe look online to see what is popular and compare prices. That will give you some idea and direction. One thing to consider when looking for diamond jewelry online is that online retailers usually have much lower overhead costs and can pass those savings on to the consumer. Another benefit of buying an engagement ring online is convenience, you don’t need to travel any further than your computer to pick out your ring and make your purchase.
You will also need to consider the diamond shape that she prefers. Different shapes as far as popularity have moved in and out of style. For instance in the later 80’s and early 90’s if I remember correctly the popular diamond shape was the marquee. Now you rarely see them in engagement rings. The one shape that does seem to always stay popular is the round brilliant. Other popular shapes for the present time that I have seen are the princess cut, cushion cut and occasionally I will see an emerald or radiant. You will find that choosing the right diamond shape is also a matter of personal taste. You might want to be careful though when buying step cuts because some inclusions will show to the naked eye.
Good luck out there. Remember this is a joyful time in your life so make it fun. You are going to be picking out the most incredible gift you will ever give to the one you love.You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get what you want just shop wisely.
