Your search for the perfect engagement ring, may be very difficult and time consuming due to the various designs, styles, settings and sizes.
In addition, many women have a very specific idea of how their engagement ring will look.

These helpful steps will help you find your perfect engagement ring and save you time and research:

1. Budget
The first thing you should do before beginning your research is determine your budget.
This will help you eliminate the irrelevant rings and diamonds, and will start making your choice a little easier.
Even if your budget is not as high as you would like it to be, know that you can always reset and add stones later on.

2. Personal taste
If your engagement ring is a surprise, you should do some research.
Try to observe her jewelry and notice if she likes white gold or yellow gold, big flashy jewelry or more delicate jewelry and etc.
Asking her close friends for advice always helps- they usually know.
If the engagement ring is not a surprise, or it’s an upgrade to a prior ring- we suggest making the decision with her.

3. Learning about diamonds
Learning about the 4 C’s- Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut, is an easy way to learn basically everything you should know before purchasing diamonds.
This will help you understand the cost and quality of diamonds.

4. The diamond
Now that you have learned about the 4 C’s, it’s time to choose your diamonds.
Diamonds come in many shapes and sizes.
A very popular shape in diamonds is the round brilliant.
We suggest looking online at loose diamonds for various shapes, sizes and prices.

5. Settings
Now that you have chosen your diamond, you can choose a setting to mount the diamond on.
Some of the most popular settings for engagement rings include the solitaire, the prong setting and the channel setting. These are available in white gold, yellow gold and platinum.

Good luck!
