Finding the Perfect Engagement Ring 

perfect engagement ringFinally! You’ve met the perfect person. They’re everything you have ever wanted, and you can’t imagine your life without them. You know you want to pop the question, but you don’t have a ring yet. It has to be perfect. With so many different ring and gem styles you may feel you’ll never be able to narrow it down to just one.

Choosing an engagement ring doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether you’re shopping on your own or plan to have your fiancé in tow, knowing what you’re looking for will help make the process much easier. Typically rings are judged by the “Four Cs:” cut, color, clarity and carat. Keeping these aspects in mind will help you focus on the right ring.

You’re most likely not looking for something run-of-the-mill—you want something that will dazzle her for years to come. The most important factor when choosing an engagement ring is to consider what it is that they want; after all, they are the one that will be wearing it daily. Would they want a larger gem, or are they comfortable with something smaller? What shape would they like? Do they prefer a traditional gold band, or would they opt for something different? You know they are going to show it off to all of their friends and family, so you want to make sure it’s something they’ll wear proudly.
