Your Diamond Jewelry Guidebook
Fancy diamond jewelry is no longer just for the rich and famous. It’s not just the Hollywood starlets who wear fancy diamond jewelry and engagement rings anymore. All of the latest, hottest styles of engagement rings are now affordable for everyone. While all of the diamond jewelry choices may seem overwhelming at first, all you have to do is ask yourself certain questions about what kind of ring she would like.
-What type of style would best suit her? Contemporary? Vintage? Large diamonds? A solitary diamond? Flashy? Simple yet sophisticated?
-What is her favorite color? Diamond cut engagement rings come in every color imaginable.
-Would she prefer white gold, yellow gold, platinum, or silver? Keep in mind, though, silver and gold don’t last forever. They can fade in time. Thankfully, contemporary rings are usually made with more than one metal.
-What is her ring size? Try to get an idea. Some jewelry stores offer a free “ring sizing kit”. Order one and measure her other rings with it.
-What type of budget are you going by? Traditionally, the amount a man spends on an engagement ring is two months worth of his salary. If you have good credit though, you may be able to finance a more expensive ring. Make sure you’ll be able to pay it off in time, though.
Once you get an ideal of the style, color, ring size, and price, you can begin looking for the perfect ring. Diamond jewelry stores are making engagement rings more affordable these days. You can also customize the ring settings yourself, to make it more personal for her. Asking your partner to marry you should be a very romantic and memorable moment. If you also have the perfect ring to suit her, it will be a moment neither of you will ever forget.
