How to Choose From Engagement Rings

When shopping for an engagement ring in diamond, platinum, or else, there are 3 main steps you should follow:

1. First you choose the center stone. Popular choices are diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. But depending on taste, some women may enjoy more unique stones that are not widely seen on other people's fingers.
2. Choose the shape of the center stone. Popular designs are: round brilliant, princess (square brilliant), emerald cut, marquise, oval, pear, heart, and trillion. Get a good feel of the look for your engagement rings.
3. Choose the precious metal and style of setting. Many settings are created for a certain shape and size of gems. First, study the type of finger jewelry that she wears to get an idea of her style and preferences. Then choose the setting that matches best with the stone. Some women prefer gold jewelry while others enjoy silver, white gold, and platinum - the white metals. If she like silver, you don't want to get an expensive diamond set in silver, so your best choices would be either white gold or platinum. Platinum rings are the most durable and expensive in all of ring making, and usually only go with really good quality diamonds and rubies. Emeralds are usually set in yellow gold because they enhance the color of green.
