4 Basic Guidelines to Buy the Best Solitaire Diamond Engagement Rings
A wedding or engagement ring is the best piece of jewelry that you will purchase in your lifetime. A wedding is an important occasion and what can be a better choice than a gold ring studded with a sparkling diamond for sealing the treaty of love and pledging togetherness for eternity. While attempting selecting a diamond engagement ring for gracing the occasion, it is quite likely that you may get confused with the varied range of shapes, stones, styles, and colors. Below are some basic guidelines that will help you in choosing the right engagement ring.
- Consider the Budget- While shopping especially in the case of girls the budget is likely to exceed. Shopping for a diamond ring is indeed no different. In no way, the price tag represents the love that one has in her heart. One should not succumb to any external pressure while firmly deciding on the budget which she can afford. It is always best to purchase a ring within a budget. Always spend an amount which one is comfortable to pay. But in the case of the most expensive, most precious and the rarest, by every means go for it. Here the key is to decide the budget.
Engagement Ring Style- When it comes to buying a diamond ring you will come across a wide variety of choices. Right from white gold to solitaire gold diamond rings you have it all. The list includes everything from gold, platinum, modern, traditional, classy, elegant, and flashy to chunky. It is always easy to choose a wedding ring if one is sure of what she exactly needs. If one is in favor of platinum, white gold or silver ring with intricate patterns, choosing a platinum ring with filigree will be the right choice. If one is romantic by heart, platinum will be an excellent choice as it is a pure metal. In case one likes gold, you can choose a gold ring with a diamond setting. It is the classic appearance of gold that makes it a favorite. These days white gold is also highly favored as it is an affordable alternative. And if still in doubt, take opinions from family members or friends.
All Bling- Diamond is quite expensive so a sensible buyer must know everything regarding the clarity, cut, color and carat before investing in it. Two diamonds may appear quite similar but when it comes to cost it will be remarkably different.
Shape- One of the most popular styles is the round, classic diamond solitaire. This, however, is just the beginning. Look for a ring that sparkles enough and stands out. Jewelers can make newer cuts in diamonds through intricate refraction patterns. Novel diamond shapes are also available these days such as hearts which can be the perfect choice for you.
The bottom line is, always purchase a ring which will make you happy and content. As you begin to embark on the lifelong voyage of togetherness, there cannot be anything more precious than investing in a solitaire which is the epitome of happiness and love. So, what will be your pick?

Such important information for those investing in a diamond engagement ring. I have a solitaire and I love it.
These are great tips when it comes to buying a ring. For most people engagement rings or wedding rings are the most important jewelry they will ever buy. I knew nothing about jewelry when I got my ring. This is definitely a great post that teaches what to look for. That is something I wish I had back when I was looking at rings LOL.
I wish we had this when we were shopping for my engagement ring. My husband let me pick it out, but I had no idea what I was looking at.
I would also recommend to buy the biggest diamond you can afford. Diamonds definitely go up in value over time so it is a good investment as well.

I never had an engagement ring. I am not really into rings, I prefer necklaces. I love to look at them because they are so pretty. I do have two wedding rings though and one is white gold. I love that one.
