    Set A Price Range or Budget<\/h4>\n

    \"\"With so many different options when it comes to diamonds, its easy to go overboard.\u00a0 Before starting your search, figure out a reasonable budget for your engagement ring cost – taking into account the cost for the diamond and the setting (ring) itself.\u00a0 As you become more knowledgeable in the shopping process, refine you budget and stick within it when shopping around.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Figure out what type of ring she wants<\/h4>\n

    \"\"It shouldn’t be any surprise but women often say one thing but mean another!\u00a0 If she’s dropped a few hints here and there, you’re in luck – just make sure they’re aligned with what you think she really<\/span> wants.\u00a0 Keep in mind that your knowledge of gemstones will greatly outweigh hers soon so her subtle hints of diamond ‘size’ and diamond ‘color’ may leave a lot to interpretation.\u00a0 Try to figure out what type of rock and ring she’s expecting.\u00a0 Personality will say a lot about what to get her.\u00a0 If she’s very outgoing, something bigger might be right to draw the attention she’s used to.\u00a0 If she’s shy and introverted, maybe something smaller.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Start Shopping For a Loose diamond.<\/h4>\n

    \"\"Always buy a loose diamond to get the most value for your money.\u00a0 Loose diamonds allow you to see the natural beauty and character of a diamond before it is integrated into a ring setting.\u00a0 Remember that the setting will only work to enhance what you start with.\u00a0 Start by understanding the basics and the options and choices you have at hand.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Decide where to buy from<\/h4>\n

    \"\"Generally there are 3 avenues when it comes to diamond buying: (1) Online, (2) Chain Retailers or (3) Retail Wholesalers.\u00a0 Each of the three allow you to purchase that special something, just via a different means.\u00a0 Online chain retails often offer the best price; chain retailers offer the distinction of specialty cuts with the prestigious of their brand, and retail wholesales great prices and a more personalized purchase.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Figure out her ring size<\/h5>\n

    \"\"Most guys needlessly lose a lot of sleep over this one.\u00a0 If you’ve have been shopping with her and she’s tried something on, commit the size to memory.\u00a0 If you have to guess, don’t worry, jewelers can adjust the size of a ring easily.\u00a0 For those who want to get it right the first time around, try string around the finger while she’s sleeping and then match it to a ring size chart \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Figure out the setting<\/h4>\n

    \"\"This is a personal choice.\u00a0 Regardless of which avenue you choose to purchase from, each will offer a huge array of choice and options.\u00a0 Custom settings are a common option as well.\u00a0 Seen something exquisite in a magazine?\u00a0 Most jewelers can accurately create it.\u00a0 From there, you’ll just need to figure out the setting and that type of material you’d like.\u00a0 The usual options are yellow gold, white gold, and platinum.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Decide on the diamond extras<\/h4>\n

    \"\"Certification, value appraisal and laser etching are all extras that can be had and help bring piece of mind with your new purchase.\u00a0 Note that each there is generally an associated cost for each – something to take into mind while budgetting.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Because you’re shopping for that perfect ring to complement her for a lifetime, remember to take your time in the process!\u00a0 Good Luck and Happy Shopping!<\/p>\n
