During their cohabitation, many couples will buy at least three rings: an engagement ring, as a promise of future marriage, a wedding ring, and in order to celebrate important milestones in their marriage, an anniversary ring usually with multitude of diamonds, called "eternity" or "half-eternity" rings. Many young couples already have a budget in mind when they go to the jewelry store and buy their rings based on that. The usual tactic, still used today, is for the man to buy a ring of equal value with one or two of his monthly salaries. Of course, we mention this only as an example, since no one is forcing you to stick to this standard.

You should choose the ring design before you even start looking for diamonds. Only your budget, taste and imagination can limit your options, as there are classic engagement ring designs, designs with side diamonds, vintage, and halo. There are also some masterful engagement rings created by jewelry designers, that may be worth your attention.

What diamond should I get?

The moment a woman accepts a marriage proposal from her lover is one of the most important events in her life. She will expect to receive a diamond ring, that she will keep for the rest of her life as a sign of his love and devotion to her.

So, as you can see, it's best not to rush into buying an engagement ring. Many men need a guide, an alphabet that will give them the necessary diamond education, which will ensure they buy the right diamond. Since there are many styles, shapes and options available when it comes to engagement rings, it is a good idea to read the following which are intended to help you make the best possible choice.

Quality – Some say there is no such thing as low quality when it comes to engagement rings, but I personally disagree. Honestly, as soon as you choose a ring that does not include a diamond, then you are choosing low quality. Even though they look beautiful, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and amethysts do not possess that distinctive hardness and exquisite appearance of a diamond. And your loved one will know it too, and wonder who convinced you to buy this stone.

Style – You may or may not know her taste in jewelry. A ring style that always remains popular is the white gold solitaire ring or the simple gold ring which is also quite popular with women, but maybe your sweetheart would prefer a ring with diamonds scattered around. Since she's the one who will be wearing the ring every day, for years and years, she'd better be comfortable with the style she chooses.

Metals – The two metals that are mainly used in wedding rings are gold and platinum. Some dealers offer silver rings, but they look cheap and don't stand the test of time, so better forget them. The most popular metal is gold, 14 and 18 carat.

The Center Stone – Many women prefer to have a single stone in the center of their diamond rings, while others want side diamonds or three diamonds around the middle. The shapes of the diamond with which a diamond solitaire is combined are many. The most popular among them are the round, followed by the square with a cone (princess), emerald, marquise, heart, etc. Some people say that every shape has to do with some personal characteristics of the person.

Other information – You have probably heard about the 4 most important characteristics of diamonds. We've already mentioned cut, so let's get on with the rest. The size of a diamond is called the carat, while the color represents the natural color of the stone and it comes in grades. A diamond stands out for its purity or some other elements, each of which leaves its mark on it, elements that determine its purity. You can find beautiful diamonds that look essentially the same as the most expensive and high grade diamonds, but which are not at the top of the scale and are therefore cheaper and perhaps sometimes value for money.

Of course, when buying a ring, you should always keep your personal budget in mind, despite the popular belief that indicates spending two months' wages on a diamond engagement ring, DiamondJools offers gorgeous rings at really low prices. To find the perfect engagement ring weigh her needs against your financial capabilities.
