Introduction

Engagement Rings are one of the most popular ways to propose. They show your significant other how much they mean to you, and they symbolize that promise forever. But buying an engagement ring can be stressful! That's why we've put together this guide on everything from choosing the right diamond to budgeting for the perfect fit.

Diamonds and engagement rings have a long history.

Diamonds and engagement rings have a long history. The first diamond was found in India in the 4th century and it's still rare to find diamonds that are as clean and beautiful as those found today. Diamonds are the hardest substance on earth, which makes them extremely valuable for jewelry purposes. In fact, some experts say diamonds can be worth more than gold!

There are many different types of diamonds available today: round brilliant; princess cut; marquise cut (oval); cushion shape (pyramid); ovoid shape (pear); heart shape; square cut (hexagon). Each type has its own unique characteristics that make it perfect for certain occasions or styles such as stacking rings on each other or wearing alone as earrings!

Diamonds are forever and worth every penny of their price.

Diamonds are forever.

Diamonds are worth every penny of their price. They're a girl's best friend, and they symbolize love and commitment in so many ways: from the way you wear your engagement ring to the way you say I Do when exchanging vows at the altar (or wherever it is that couples exchange their vows). Diamonds can be found in every color imaginable, which means there is something for everyone--even if you don't like yellow or red diamonds!

Buying a diamond engagement ring takes planning, so you should be prepared.

What you need to know is that buying a diamond engagement ring takes planning, so you should be prepared.

• Know what you want: If all the ladies at your local jewelry store are trying on the same ring, it may be because they're looking for something similar to yours. Before going shopping with your fiancé or spouse-to-be, take some time and think about exactly what type of stone would be best for him/her (or both). This will help narrow down what types of settings might work best for his/her finger size and style preferences as well as budget restrictions.
• Know how much money he/she can spare: This may seem obvious but many couples don't realize just how much money they'll need when buying an engagement ring! It's important that both people involved understand their individual budgets before starting any shopping process because there will undoubtedly be costs associated with purchasing anything beyond just plain old "diamond." For example: if one person has an allowance of $10k per year while another person only makes $5k per year then those two people probably shouldn't get engaged until one earns enough income overall so that neither needs financial assistance from anyone else (or maybe even themselves).

You must research the type of diamond you want before going shopping.

The first step to buying a diamond engagement ring is to decide on the type of diamond you want. While there are many different types of diamonds, it's important that you choose one that is cut in the right proportions and set into a ring that complements its inherent beauty. Here are some tips on how to select which type will work best for your engagement ring:

• Buy a size 5 or 6 if your hands are average-sized; if they're larger than average, consider buying an 8 instead.
• Make sure all sides of the stone face outwards so light can reflect off them more easily (this will make them sparkle).
• Don't worry about getting something too small because this could cause problems later down the road when things get bigger!

Consider your budget when buying an engagement ring.

Before you buy, consider your budget. You can get a good quality diamond for under $1,000. You can get a good quality diamond for under $2,000. And you should be able to find something in the mid-$3K range if you are willing to pay more than that.

If your budget is flexible and there's no problem with spending money on Wedding Rings, then go ahead! But if you're looking at buying something as an investment or if he/she is going to give it back when they get married (and even then), keep these things in mind:

Your engagement ring should be the perfect fit for your ring size.

• Your engagement ring should be the perfect fit for your ring size. Diamonds are measured in millimeters, and the smallest diamond you can purchase is 0.03mm. If you're not sure of your size, it's best to get it sized by a jeweler so they can make sure that the diamond fits properly on your finger.
• Look for diamonds that have an H-I color grade (which means their shape is flat or slightly domed and has no inclusions), as these are more likely to sparkle brightly when exposed to light and enhance any other sparkling stones in the design (like rubies). A diamond with an E-F color grade may look more brilliant but won't sparkle as much because it doesn't reflect light well enough--but this doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them! While diamonds without any sort of imperfections may cost more than those with small flaws or blemishes, they still won't look exactly like what we see above:

If you have small hands, go for a smaller diamond than if you have large hands.

If you have small hands, go for a smaller diamond than if you have large hands.

The size of your diamond is measured in carats. A carat is the weight of one gram; therefore, a 1-carat diamond weighs 1 gram and has an equivalent value of 0.2 mm or 200 thousandths of an inch (1/32nd). The larger your diamond will be in comparison to its weight, the more expensive it will be per carat. However, there are factors that affect how much money it costs when choosing between various sizes:

• The price range varies widely depending on where in the country it's being sold and whether or not there are any additional costs associated with purchasing from overseas dealerships
• In general terms though - expect to pay about $2-$3 per mm ($0-$0) for round cut stones up until about 4mm which would require an oval cut stone at least 5mm wide (which can also cost upwards of $5)
