Buying an engagement ring means the biggest milestone in your relationship. The first thing you need to ask yourself before you even start looking for a perfect ring is which ring will fit her personal style and aesthetic best. If your beloved one likes a more elegant and classy style, you certainly don’t want to go for something dramatic and flashy. The best way to find out what kind of an engagement ring she would absolutely love is to pay attention to the jewelry she usually wears.

Take a closer look at her bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings.Are they vintage, minimalist, statement, or elegant? Does she prefer plain jewelry or something decorated with colorful gems? Finding the answers to these questions will help you gain a closer insight into her preferences.

If she doesn’t wear jewelry at all, it’s highly likely that she would love an engagement ring which is plain and tasteful. A ring that doesn’t have too many details or a big stone.

Her favorite color to help you choose the stone

After getting a closer look at her personal style, you want to make sure that the color of the stone will match the colors of the clothes she usually wears. If you want to buy something other than the traditional diamond ring, there are plenty of popular options to choose from, such as emeralds, rubies, sapphires, opals, pearls, and moonstones, all of which have different colors.

However, if you think that diamonds are a girl’s best friends, you need to know that they too come in different colors. They range from completely clear (the most expensive kind) to yellowish or brownish.

Ring size conundrum

Probably the most challenging aspect of this whole process for most men is the size of the ring. Many guys are afraid that the ring they buy won’t fit, but you don’t have to worry about that if you know how to find out her size.

This involves some sneakiness – take one of the rings she usually wears when she is not looking and try it on. This will give you a picture of her ring size. If this seems too inaccurate, you can always take the ring to the jeweler’s so that they can determine the size.

If this is too risky and you’re afraid she’ll find out, there is yet another option! You can find a ring size guide online, print it, put it next to some of her rings, and you will be able to tell the size instantly. If allthis fails despite your efforts and sneakiness, don’t stress.Every ring can be resized.

What kind of cut would she like best?

When opting for a diamond ring, experts say that you should understand the 4 C’s:

clarity

color

carat

cut

Pretty much everyone knows what clarity, color, and carat of a diamond are, but many get confused when it comes to the cut.

While many people think that cut refers to the shape of the diamond, they are actually very wrong.These are two completely different things. The cut is the ability of every diamond to sparkle or, in other words, to reflect light.

Every diamond has its own cut grade. The more expensive the ring, the better it’s ability to transmit light. Some of the most popular cuts include princess cut, cushion cut, and round brilliant.

When it comes to the shape of the diamond, there is a wide variety of options to choose from such as:

heart

triangle

oval

pentagon

hexagon

trapeze

dahlia
