Engagement Ring Tips

In the vast world of engagement rings it's difficult to know which one to buy. Engagement rings have traditionally symbolized the promise of a lifetime of love and commitment. You want to give her a ring that shows you understand her taste and style. Find out if she gravitates to a specific style or prefers a particular type of stone.

Diamond Shapes
Diamonds historically are the stone of choice in this type of ring. With some planning and research, you are sure to find a ring that will thrill the recipient. Diamonds come in different shapes; an "ideal cut" diamond means that the stone was cut to bring out its best qualities. This cut showcases the diamond's brilliance and allows light to travel down and come all the way back up. Needless to say, these rings are generally the most expensive.

Many engagement rings have a round stone; they complement a wide variety of fingers. Likewise, a square diamond comes in an emerald, princess or radiant cut. They are both classic and elegant. Heart-shaped cuts are a little whimsical and are perfect if your loved one has an eclectic style. Other shapes include oval, Marquise, pear and trilliant, an upscale cut in the shape of a triangle.

Gem Stones
If you are buying this ring for someone who is a bit nontraditional, you might want to go for an atypical engagement ring. Gem stones come in a wide variety of colors and types. You can choose a stone that is the favorite color of the woman you love. Choose a gem stone that has a high ranking on the Mohs scale. This is a scale that determines the hardness of the mineral. Turquoise and opal rings are gorgeous, but after years of wear and tear they will break apart.

Sapphires are a great choice, because they've received an 8 on the scale. Many people choose blue sapphires for their engagement rings, but these stones come in many colors.

Another unusual choice is topaz. This gem also has a rating of 8 on the Mohs scale. Though this stone comes in an abundance of colors, pink is highly valued because it's so rare.

You can also pick out your partner's birthstone. January is garnet, February is amethyst, March is aquamarine, April is diamond, May is emerald, June is alexandrite, July is ruby, August is peridot, September is sapphire, October is opal, November is topaz and December is tanzanite.

Picking the Ring Out
No one ever said that picking out the engagement ring had to be a solitary event. If you can without your intended knowing, ask one of her friends or family members to go with you. Be sure to know her ring size before you go. A lot of couples actually shop for rings together. It's can be a bonding moment to try on rings. You don't have to buy the ring then; go back at a later time and pick it up.
