How do you find the perfect ring for your better half?

For most, the engagement ring symbolizes their promise of love and commitment. Proposing should be a very special, memorable and romantic experience. Since the engagement ring will be an intrinsic part of this pivotal moment, and the ring will be worn before and after the wedding, it is important to consider what would be the ideal ring for your loved one and their circumstances.

This means that planning and research are necessary before making a purchase. You might consider talking to friends who have been through the buying process, checking out Internet sites, talking to jewelers, and “shopping around.” Your research should include a comparison of styles, gaining knowledge about diamonds, and becoming familiar with prices and materials.

It goes without saying that your loved one is at the center of your search for the perfect ring. If you decide to search together, you should discuss your findings and preferences.

A custom diamond engagement ring is definitely an option to consider. Ideally, a personalized ring will meet your requirements and demonstrate your definition of the perfect ring, as you are an integral part of its creation. Imagine explaining to your better half that you helped design the ring and select the diamonds; how truly unique it is.

Also remember that there is no hard and fast rule regarding what percentage of your income you should spend on an engagement ring. Rather, consider the importance of the ring and the reality of your finances. The rarer the diamonds, the more expensive the ring will be.
