Getting The Best Engagement Rings Provides Outstanding Results

By Paul O'hara


Getting down on one knee and popping the million dollar question can be slightly daunting. Proposing is for the not so faint hearted. This is usually a success however, so do not hold back on the question. The big deal is about finding out where the perfect engagement rings can be found.

Going around the finger is the band. This band is usually made of gold, platinum or silver. There are also other different metals that can be added for durability of the metal used in the creation of the perfect ring for the perfect lady. In its natural state, gold is usually a yellow-orange. Some people prefer the less brighter color of the gold which is generally a less pure gold and is roughly 14 or 10 carats. The best idea is to actually purchase a pure gold ring to encourage the life time thereof.

Most rings are made of gold, silver or platinum. This band can be broad or thin, depending basically on the setting you desire. The setting is the part of the ring that the stone is set in. This setting should have a bezel or will have up to six prongs.

The carat, clarity, cut and color are the 4 C's that you need to be on the look out for when choosing the ring for the lady to whom you are going to propose. There is of course another C. Always set a limit to what you are prepared to spend on this special and important ring.

In the diamond field, it is important to keep the 4 C's in mind. That is the clarity, cut, colour and carat. These are good to know about before purchasing any type of stoned ring. Then of course, there is the other C. Diamonds, being precious stones tend to get more expensive the bigger they get. It is important that you set a price limit on the ring you are about to purchase. Smaller diamonds do tend to be a little less expensive, but they do resemble your devotion to the lady.

When choosing a diamond ring for your beautiful bride to be, it must be kept in mind the 4 C's. Cut, clarity, colour and of course the carat. Then without saying, comes the 5th and the most important part, the cost.

Ask the lady what she would like in an engagement ring and get going with the proposal. Taking your lady shopping with you is a good idea, as this way she gets what she wants within the budget allocated for it, the most valuable and important part of any lady's heart.

Having purchased the ring, it might be a good idea to have it insured. Once the ring is bought, it is an idea to have it evaluated and then insured. Insurance for Engagement Rings is not always a pricey thing to do. However it may be the best thing to do if your lady is active and wants to wear her beautiful ring all the time. Being very active may induce the stones getting loose and possibly lost. Some jewellers will offer the service of tightening the stones into the setting if they get too loose. This is usually a service offered by good jewellers. Remember, you can find reputable jewellers by asking your married friends or family where they went to get their prize possession.
