Engagement Ring Shopping: Tips and Tricks

If you're looking for tips to shop for diamond rings, look no further. There are tons of things to consider before you even step into a shop. Many of us know what a diamond looks like and have an appreciation for what we consider the “classic engagement ring” - a single diamond on a band of gold - but if you don't know how to at least get a good feel for the quality, you might end up with a less than desirable piece that won't stand the test of time. When it comes to honoring one of the most important bonds of your life, there's no room for poor craftsmanship or bad judgment. This is special and important - making this decision an informed one just takes a little bit of research.

Did you know, for example, that the way diamonds are judged isn't entirely dependent on the size? Color, cut, and clarity are three of the most important parts of judgment and can determine the worth of the ring itself. Understand that a smaller diamond may yield a higher quality ring in the long run. 

An engagement ring is much more than just a diamond. It's such an individualized process. After all, you want to make sure that you are getting a high quality, stunning representation of your eternal bond. When you find the right ring - and, much like you always know when you've found your future spouse, you'll just know - it will all click into place. Relax, know what determines a diamond's quality and what questions to pose to the jeweler, and be hyper aware of the multitudes of ways that personal style can be represented through the piece. I'm sure you'll find the right one in no time.
