Now when you are ready with the budget, time to explore the types of diamonds that are under your defined price range. Keep the “4 C’s” in your mind as these are the factors to determine the cost and quality of diamond: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight.

Select the preferred ring setting

Ring settings can be defined as a method in which the diamonds are arranged on a ring. You can also try a combination of settings if you are going for a customized your ring. Some of the popular ring settings for engagement rings are pave, channel, bezel, Tiffany, halo, three stone, and an eternity band.

Pick your ring metal

Ring metal makes the ring design look more captivating. Moreover, it enhances the look of the precious gem it is supporting. You will get numerous metal types and colors while shopping for the ring. Gold and platinum are the most admired metals for engagement and wedding rings. However, gold is also available in varieties namely rose gold, yellow gold and white gold. If you are looking for durability, platinum is the appropriate metal choice for you.

Find the ring size

Make sure the ring is sized perfectly. That means it should slide in easily but should be having a resistance so that it does not fall off easily. If you are going to propose her with the ring, take the help of her family or friends in getting her ring size. Or you can take an idea from an old ring without getting noticed by her.
