Buying The Perfect Engagement Ring

Finding the perfect engagement ring can be a daunting task, but there are some steps you can take to make the process more relaxed:

1. Determine your budget: Before you start shopping, determine how much you can afford to spend on an engagement ring. This will help narrow down your options and give you a clear directive. 

2. Consider your partner's style: Think about the type of jewelry your partner typically wears. Do they prefer classic or modern styles? Do they like simple or ornate designs? This can help guide your selection.

3. Choose the right metal: Engagement rings are typically made of yellow gold, white gold or platinum. Consider which metal your partner prefers and whether they have any metal allergies.

4. Decide on the shape of the diamond: The shape of the diamond can greatly impact the overall look of the ring. Some popular diamond shapes include round, princess, cushion, emerald, oval, pear and radiant. If your partner might like something a little different consider a shape such as marquise, asscher or heart cut diamond.

5. Determine the 4 Cs: When selecting a diamond, consider the 4 Cs: carat weight, cut, clarity, and color. These factors will affect the appearance and value of the diamond. 

6. Consider a custom design: If you can't find the perfect ring, consider having one custom made. This allows you to create a unique piece that perfectly fits your partner's style.
