Purchasing a diamond engagement ring can often be a difficult and scary experience for a man. The majority of men are basically not interested in diamonds. When they pop the question, they want an engagement ring but have no idea what to look for.
This article provides a number of simple, straightforward advice for guys who don't have a concept about choosing their first diamond engagement ring.
What style of engagement ring should I be looking for?
Unless your girlfriend has told you she has a particular model in mind, the safest bet is to purchase a very simple and unique gold ring setting with a single diamond set at the top. This is called a diamond solitaire engagement ring. The gold setting alone will cost you less than $200. If she wants to select a fancy setting later, you can eliminate the single diamond from this ring and use it as the center diamond in a fancy ring setting without sacrificing much on your first investment.
What color gold should you pick out for the diamond ring?
Take note of exactly what your girlfriend would wear. Yellow gold girls usually wear bright colors and have olive or darker skin tone. Most girls these days choose white gold. If she has darkish hair and tends to wear a lot of black or white clothing, she is a white gold girl.
Exactly what size should the diamond be in her engagement ring?
This is the answer that's going to hurt your budget. A 1/4-carat diamond is out of the question, way too small for a solitaire engagement ring. A 1/2-carat diamond may be okay if that's all you can afford, but it is not going to be an impressive engagement ring. A diamond between 3/4 and 1-carat is going to really get her fired up. When she displays it to her girlfriends they will be a tiny envious that she got a man of status (you) and they didn't. This is good for her self-image, and every woman needs a little boost in that area.
Where should I shop for my diamond band?
First take a visit to your local mall. Look, but don't buy your diamond ring there. In a couple of hours you will become familiar with "The 4 C's", and you want to determine with your own eye balls the difference between the cheapest grade diamond, and a superior grade expensive diamond. The jewelry salesperson will most likely pressure you to purchase their most expensive diamond. Don't be shy: ask to see their least expensive diamond as well. Then move on to the next jewelry store.
