Getting engaged is one of the most memorable events in your life and to have the perfect ing makes much better.
Before you go and spend all your hard earned money at your local jewelry store you might want to shop around a bit for a great quality engagement ring at a greatly reduced price. This can be done by designing your own engagement ring.
First of all you will need to find a wholesale diamond dealer that deals in only the highest quality GIA certified diamonds and also gives the option to design engagement rings.
Once you found such a wholesale dealer like the one I'll mention towards the end of this article you will need to study the 4 C's of diamonds a bit. The 4 C's stands for color, cut, clarity and carat. The better the quality of the diamond the more valuable it is and it also affects the price of the diamond. I would go for a colorless diamond with very few or no inclusions and a brilliant cut. The cut is the most important factor to consider.
Once the diamond is selected the next step wold be to choose the setting. You can choose a prong setting if you want to highlight the stone with a tight grip. Choose a channel setting if you want the stone to have a flowing look to it. If you chose a princess cut diamond I would recommend you choose a bezel setting as it protects the edges of the diamond really good.
Finally you need to choose the ring. Here you can get creative. Does your girlfriend like solitaire or maybe a 2 or 3 stone ring? Does she like white gold, platinum or maybe yellow gold? Platinum is very popular but it also costs more. I personally like white gold.
Finally you can add other personal touches such as etchings and other details to the ring.
People love to design engagement rings as it gives a much more unique and personal twist to the ring. Your future wife will adore you for taking the time to design her engagement ring. - 29871
