Diamonds On Web Tips for Choosing Your Diamond Engagement Ring

Your diamond engagement ring is a reflection of both your personal and cultural preferences. Diamonds On Web has some tips to help you make your decision about a diamond engagement ring a solid choice.

Joint Decisions?

Before you select a diamond engagement ring, make sure that you feel your partner would be pleased by your move. Take the time to reflect on the kind of relationship you have- would she be more comfortable choosing the ring herself? Or do you think she would adore the surprise? Traditionally, Americans have been purchasing diamond engagement rings and offering them together with the proposal. Yet in Europe, it is customary for the couple to select the diamond engagement ring together.

Preliminary Steps

If you feel your partner would enjoy the surprise of seeing a shiny diamond engagement ring in a box, you can try to discreetly try to find out her ring preferences beforehand.

Take a peek in her jewelry box, and see what kind of jewelry she likes. Colorful? Delicate? Classic? Chunky rings and necklaces? These can indicate her taste, and give you a sense of the kind of ring she would enjoy wearing.

Thinking Fingers

It's important to find out your partner's ring size before you make your purchase. Another aspect to consider when you choose your diamond engagement ring is the shape of the finger it is destined to adorn. A fine or delicate ring could be more easily lost on a long slim finger, while a shorter hand might wear it well. Conversely, if you are attracted by large and bold chunky stone settings, these could look awkward on a shorter finger.

The width of the band affects the appearance of the hand (and it rhymes!). A thick band works well longer fingers, while a thin band can help a short finger to look slightly longer.

The shape of the stone itself is also significant. Although the most popular shape for a diamond engagement ring is round, keep in mind that short fingers can be made to appear longer by an oval diamond engagement ring.

When In Doubt…

Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance! Diamonds On Web customer service representatives are always ready to answer any questions you might have.
