Facts to Consider When Buying an Engagement Ring

Aug. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Diamonds really are a girl's best friend as they are pure magic, making them a perfect choice for your engagement ring. How about considering a traditional engagement ring like a brilliantly cut ring with rose gold vintage design band! A solitaire ring with single diamond may be stunning but it also comes with a hefty price tag to match.

The biggest mistake that buyers make when purchasing their diamond engagement ring is becoming blinded by the look of the ring itself, instead of finding out the facts about the diamond itself. If you are shopping for a diamond, make sure that it is a certified one. This certificate is your assurance that the diamond you are investing in is worth the money that you are spending. More and more people are buying loose diamonds these days and then having a reputable jeweler make the ring of their dreams. Do your homework and buy wisely!

Or if the bride-to-be isn't really that into diamonds, she may prefer one with other precious stones instead. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds...either way; this purchase will set you back a small fortune if you don't know much about engagement ring buying.

Likewise, you may like to purchase other gems for your engagement ring online. Online stores allow you to compare the gem prices and usually offer substantial savings. With a cheaper stone spend; you will have cut down the total ring costs by quite a bit. Who knows, with the money saved you may have the deposit to buy a home or spend it on your honeymoon that you couldn't otherwise afford?

Another important factor to consider when shopping for an engagement ring is that your wedding ring should ideally complement it; looking as if they were made to be worn together.

With the gem sorted out, what about the metal for the ring? White gold and yellow gold are very popular choices and you can easily compare prices. Most women have a preference for gold or silver colored metals, as most skin tones suit one better than the other.  Gold colored rings are available in a traditional yellow gold and a more contemporary rose gold.  If she prefers silver, you might want to consider platinum or white gold. Decisions, decisions...decisions!
