Things to Remember While Purchasing a Diamond Engagement Ring

While you want to gift a diamond engagement ring to the girl you love, you want it to be the most perfect one available in the market. But, at the same time you have to be practical and sensible. Although you want to buy the best engagement ring for her but you should remember that a luxurious engagement ring may not always be the best ring.

An engagement ceremony is the first step of a new phase of one’s life, followed by wedding bells. This means there are possibilities of more expenses. If you are a good earner and have a fat bank account then you don’t have to worry about budget, but if you are one among the common people who are not lucky enough to have big savings and salary then you should consider the word budget.


Before you plan to go looking for engagement rings, it is very important for you to set a budget first as in the first consideration. Once you have determined your budget for the ring, you can start your diamond engagement ring shopping. Here are some steps which you need to follow before purchasing a ring.

The very first thing that you need to consider while purchasing a diamond ring for your partner is to know what specific type of jewelries your future fiancĂ©e like to wear most of the time. If she doesn't have any particular choice then at least try to know what type of jewelries she likes. If you're not sure about her types of jewellery then you can ask her best friend or family to help you find out. However, you can always opt for a diamond solitaire ring as most of the women desire to possess one.  

Secondly, looking for an engagement ring you need to be sure about the 4 C's. They are- clarity of the stone, the color, the cut and the carat. Here, it is necessary for you to know that diamonds are imperfect and there are some diamonds that come with lots of tiny scratches on them.

The diamonds with lesser scratch and which are more colourless comes with a higher price tag. The cut of the diamond is an important thing to be considered since it is the cut of the stone that give brilliance and incredible look to the diamond. 

A diamond of 1 carat is equal to 100 points, or to 0.2 grams. Smaller diamonds are easily available while large diamonds are rare. This is one of the main reasons that a ring set with a bid diamond is more expensive then the rings studded with smaller diamond. However, the carat only refers to the weight of the diamond you still have to check on its color, clarity and cut in order to purchase a good Diamond Engagement Ring for your lady love.

If you are planning to buy a 2 carat diamond band for your future bride then you should check on your budget first whether you would be able to afford a 2 carat ring for her or not. You have made up your mind for a 2 carat diamond band then you can go for a simple cut that would show of the brilliance of a 2 carat diamond and are more affordable than intricate ones.

You should keep all the above mentioned things in to consideration before you go on shopping for an engagement ring. You should also make a smart choice from among the different types of rings like the diamond solitaire ring, eternity, cluster and the others.
