There are many considerations that arise when choosing an engagement ring. For example, which precious metal does the soon-to-be-betrothed prefer? There are many beautiful styles of bands and settings in yellow gold, rose gold and platinum, but once you have determined the color, there is the question of style. Does she prefer vintage styles of jewelry to modern pieces, would a ring that evokes simple elegance be best or does she prefer a bit of bling? The setting refers to the portion of the ring that is designed to the gemstone in place and is attached to the band. Generally, settings are either referred to as “pronged” or “invisible.” You should remember that the setting will influence how high the diamond sits. If your future bride is very active, a high setting may not be the ideal choice since the gemstone may be more susceptible to damage during her activities.
Then there is the shape of the stone and the 4Cs. All diamonds are rated in the categories of cut, color, clarity and carat – the 4 Cs that you will ultimately become very familiar with! The cut relates to the facets on the stone, which are the angles that reflect light. The cut has a significant influence over the brilliance and appearance of the stone. The shape is a different matter. Some of the most popular shapes are round, oval, pear, emerald, princess or marquis. You’ll need to find out what shape your love truly desires. Additionally, does your beloved want a single stone solitaire or would she prefer a halo of diamonds surrounding a center stone? Perhaps she has always longed for a setting that includes baguettes, smaller diamonds or contrasting gem stones flanking the diamond?
