Congratulations if you plan to propose! The next step is the most exciting (and nerve-racking): selecting the perfect engagement ring.
Other factors will influence whether or not your partner will say yes.
This guide will help you find a traditional diamond engagement ring. You can also get some inspiration from celebrity couples that have tied the knot with style.
Search for Diamonds Larger than 1.25 Carats
If you want to create your own diamond engagement ring, it is important that you know the most popular choices. Diamonds are the most popular choice for engagement rings. The diamond ring is also called “a girl’s best friend”, or love story ring, and has been associated with romance for centuries.
The engagement ring is traditionally a platinum or white-gold solitaire diamond. You can still customize it however you like.
Popular styles include:
- The classic round brilliant shape (a shape that has 58 facets).
- Princess Cuts (a rectangular or square shape with 57 components)
Select the right cut, clarity, and color for your diamond
Cut is the most important factor when calculating a diamond’s value. The overall value of your ring is determined by its shape. It should be as perfect as possible to achieve the best brilliance. Cut grade is also affected by the diamond’s symmetry and polish.
There are four main types of cuts: round brilliant, princess, cushion and pear. There are several types of diamonds within each class, including step-cut or radiant-cut diamonds that have been manually faceted. Each diamond is hand-cut, allowing the cutter to adjust its proportions slightly so that it reflects light best.
Be Careful with the Measurements
The ring should fit perfectly on the finger of your partner to ensure the best possible design.
- Try on different rings and measure your fingers to find the best fit. The ring shouldn’t be too loose or tight. It’s too big if it spins on your finger.
- Ask someone (preferably someone with experience) to measure the engagement ring for you before buying it. Some jewelers are happy to do this at no charge.
Consider an Antique Ring or Vintage-Style Engagement Ring
Antique rings are often passed down through generations and considered family heirlooms. They are made out of gold, silver or platinum but they can also be palladium or platinum. These rings are unique and beautiful because of their ornate designs. They’ve been around at least 100 years.
These beautiful vintage-style rings share a similar aesthetic, as they are inspired by antique designs. However, modern elements have been added to their classic design. These rings are more simple than contemporary styles, but still have diamonds and other gemstones such as sapphires and rubies.
See Celebrity Engagement Rings for Inspiration
You can get some inspiration by looking at celebrity engagement rings.
Look at the rings that your favorite celebrities wear and decide what you enjoy about them. Are there any features that they have in common? Consider choosing a ring that has similar qualities if you are drawn to a particular style or cut of diamond.
If you love Angelina Jolie’s emerald diamond engagement ring, then consider getting an emerald for your own engagement ring. If you are unsure of what you want, you can choose a style you like.
Other Tips
Follow these tips to find the perfect traditional engagement ring.
- Pay attention to quality workmanship: When selecting a ring pay close attention to quality craftsmanship. The setting must be stable, and the gemstone or diamond should be placed so that it can sparkle and shine.
- Select a reputable jewelry store: If you are investing in a traditional wedding ring, it is important to find a jeweler that can help you make the right choice and give you a piece of jewelry with lasting value.
- Select a ring with the correct size. When your partner has never worn jewelry before, you should have her finger measured to ensure that it fits perfectly. Consider a delicate ring for smaller fingers.
