How to choose a Diamond Engagement Ring

Select a band and shape: When choosing a diamond give the first priority to the band and the shape of the stone. If in doubt remember that round diamonds are the most popular style because of their light performance, brilliance, and fire.

Choose the size: When selecting your diamond, decide what is most important to you in terms of size and quality, and the trade off between the two within your price range. People usually start with the size because it is the most visible aspect of the stone. Remember carats are the weight of the diamond and can be used to estimate the size of a diamond.

Quality: The most important aspect of a round diamond is its cut which impacts the fire, scintillation and brilliance of the stone. Other major quality characteristics are the color and the clarity of the diamond.

In conclusion, the most popular category of engagement rings are the Solitaire rings which have a single diamond and the most common setting is the solitaire prong setting. The other major category is the rings with side stones. Engagement rings with larger diamond set in the center and smaller stones on the side fall under this category. Three diamonds in the ring are usually taken to represent the couples’ past, present and he future. However, some people give a religious meaning to the arrangement.
