Determining what is “best” for you is the challenge in purchasing a diamond engagement ring. Would you like the most superior, sparkling, biggest diamond of a specific hue? Factors such as those mentioned can impact your choices in engagement rings that you select to buy.

You may want to start with the setting. There are two main ways for this. There are professional jewelers ready with a wide range of previously made settings. Several of those are classic styles, with just small changes from one manufacturer to the next.

Almost everyone will feel these timeless pieces are excellent choices for their rings. Do you want to have the raised prong setting without much of embellishment? This type of setting is known as a Tiffany setting to jewelers. You can shop for the perfect ring from our selection of designs online, including 3-stone settings with a large stone and two side stones for a more dramatic piece.

You should go to jewelry designers to get more original piece. Friends can give you recommendations, you may also look in the phone book, do an online search, or by visiting high end jewelery stores or craft shows.

A jeweler who is classically trained will know more then a mere counter person or repairman. A jewelry counter person may not know or consider the materials, metal strength and other design augmentations which are the basis of true jewelry design.

First you pick a setting, then you begin the more arduous task of picking the right size, type, style, and price of stone. Both of the purchases do not need to be identical. Many couples can blend family history and future hopes by using a stone from a family piece that has become worn or outdated. A modern setting can provide a stronger ring with Grandmother’s diamond blessing the new marriage.

Work with a good jeweler if you would like a new diamond or if you need a new diamond. This is the part of diamond ring selection that usually is troublesome for the novice.  There are many questions when choosing a diamond, especially regarding issues of carat, color, clarity and cut. Which is preferable: a plain but perfectly clear stone, a large but somewhat flawed stone, or a small and perfect stone? Colored or clear? Which is the best stone to choose? Which is the best cut?

A trained , serious jeweler is sought who regularly deals in diamonds. It is advisable to seek an appointment with the jeweler, appraise him that you are a layman to stones and need his guidance, before you actually buy them. Make sure to request a large variety of options to view and let the jeweler know up front you will likely be asking a lot of questions.

If he is a skilled jeweler, he will only welcome your approach. Know your own limits and a good jeweler should understand them. Similar to how you would hire an assessor to look at a building, you give the money for a jeweler to look at a diamond you would buy.

Just because you can’t afford the price of a high quality diamond, remember that you can celebrate this love with a stone of a lesser quality or even a diamond substitute.  Perhaps for a later anniversary, when you have the money and the years in the relationship, you’ll be able to upgrade it to something even more special, to celebrate the years of your great love.
