Press Release Body = The moment has come – you want to propose and you need to
find the perfect engagement ring. How to choose it though is a though question.

The first thing to do is to set a budget. Yes, it is not really connected with the
ring she will love but it is important for you. Budgeting will help you find the
best deal and also prevent unnecessary overspending. Obviously setting a budget when
you have no idea about the diamond engagement ring prices is impossible. Take a
quick look online to get an idea and then set a realistic budget.

Once you know how much you can afford start looking for the engagement ring. The
first thing to consider is the style of the ring. You should find a jewellery piece
that your partner will like and will love wearing. Finding a piece of jewelry for a
woman is not easy, indeed. You can ask her friend what she would like or simply play
the old spy game. Take a good look at her jewellery and especially on her other
rings. See if she likes simple, classic stuff or fancy and extraordinary pieces.
That should be enough to give you a clue what you are after.

Aimed with information about the ring you want to buy you already have the initial
selection. If your partner prefers classic jewellery, you should be looking for a
classic diamond engagement ring. This means a round cut diamond, claw set in four or
six claws. If she likes fancier jewellery, than search for princess, pear or heart
shaped diamonds, side stones or even gem set diamond engagement ring.

What you should do next is to decide about the metal part of the ring and the
diamond itself. There are diamond engagement rings crafted from 9K or 19K white and
yellow gold and platinum. surely platinum is the not luxurious option but it is the
most expensive one as well if you cannot afford go for a 18K gold engagement ring.
it look beautiful and is a real classic.

The final step is to find the diamond. There are a lot of things that characterize
the perfect stone – its carat, its clarity, its colour and cut. Larger stones
are not necessarily better if the other three characteristics are poor. Have thins
in mind when choosing the stone. Sometimes it is better to go for a smaller stone
that has superior colour and clarity than for a large stone with inclusions and
tinted colour. You can find a lot of information about diamond quality on the web
and in any jewellery store. As a staring point, keep in mind that the colour should
be at least H and the clarity at least VS1. The rest is up to your budget.
