How much to spend on an Engagement ring?
How much to spend on an Engagement ring should be a phenomenon of individual circumstances, not a preconceived notion put forth by fashion magazines, celebrities, or jewelry designers. It is a personal decision depending on your employment status, general credit standing and your financial status. Your Purchase should be approached with a sense of reason.
It is the ring that symbolizes your relationship and not the size of the diamond shackled within it. Outsized diamonds enclosed in luxurious metals are no proof to greater love and commitment.
Before you board the glittery and dazzling world of jewelry store, prepare yourself or you might end up paying a huge chunk from your pocket to make a fantasy come true. Identify what your stipulation is and what you should be looking for so you do the best for the money expended. Browse magazines, talk to friends, surf the internet, recognize the quality factors so as to ease your process of juggling them for the perfect combination. Shop around to educate your eye, ascertain what really appeals to you and make yourself acquainted with current styles.
Here are few tips that will be of use while you take your decision when buying a diamond engagement ring:
1. Buying multiple stones with combined weight equal to that of one single stone for less money, is often a better choice to go in for, if budget is your priority.
2.Choosing White Gold rather than Platinum will emaciate your expenditure on engagement ring.
3 .If size is of prime importance to you then take into consideration shapes other than round as it normally looks smaller than diamonds cut in other shapes.
4.Wider designs tend to create impressive, notable designs for diamonds under 1-carat.
5.When colorless diamonds don’t seem to fall within budget, using White Gold or Platinum setting for stones within the top 10 color grades and Yellow Gold setting for stones with a noticeable yellow tint is a good idea as this will make the stone look Whiter.
6.In a brilliant cut no one can differentiate between a diamond graded as Flawless and one graded as Slightly Included. So if you plan to ignore diamonds in the SI range, give it a second thought.
7.Make an informed buying decision.
8.Don't overburden yourself when making the purchase.

What Engagement Ring Will She Like?
What engagement ring will she like? Would she prefer a single big diamond or small diamonds with more count? Will she like a yellow setting or a white one? What cut of diamond will suit her hand more? Should I go in for a colored diamond or a colorless one?
Wooooooooo! CONFUSED!
Worried about what engagement ring to pick up for your girl? Do away with your fear now. Though it looks complicated but it as a matter of fact is very simple a process to find out what exactly is the type of ring she would love wearing all life long.
Get to know what you should pick in 5 simple steps:
1. Listen: Most of the time half of your job is done by just attentive listening. Girls tend to speak out what they feel. Most of what you need to know to understand her choice comes to you even without asking. Listen to her comments while you shop. See what she has to say about rings that others are wearing.
2. Identifying her taste: Carefully notice the kind of jewelry that she wears or has bought recently. Does she pick up bold jewelry or contemporary looking one? Is silver color jewelry preferred over yellow? If it’s silver colored jewelry, then a yellow ring will not match with her other pieces. This can be done by observing what she wears on a regular basis and not on occasions.
3. Recognize her style: Is she a simple or a typically girly girl. Sometimes a simple classic solitaire ring is what impresses her and sometimes it’s the band detail or diamond in an antique setting. Is she in a professional set up where an elaborate design of the ring will look out of place? The selection of your engagement ring will be largely based on her style.
4. Understand what will suit her hand: Identify what will look good on her hand. The shape and design of the ring selected should complement her hands. For instance, oval and marquise go well on short finger while long fingers carry the princess cut better. Also a delicate design is what will suit small hands with short fingers and bold designs complement long fingers.
5. Ring Size: Though it seems to be almost impossible to know her size of the ring with her knowing it can be done very easily. Just ask someone who is very close to her mother or a close friend and swear them to secrecy.
Once you are confident that you have figured out what ring is she going to love it is time for you to know what diamond it should carry. Understand the worth of your money, take your time to browse the internet, ask friends, check out magazines and then get going.
