Imagine the scene. One woman walks up to a group of other women and announces the news: “I’m engaged!” Close on the heels of congratulations comes the timeless question, “Where’s the ring?” It’s perfectly all right for a man to propose and the couple to then go to the jewelry store together to pick out the perfect ring. Oh, who are we kidding? That’s not part of the perfect proposal! The classic proposal scene is the man on one knee, ring in hand, declaring his undying love. When it comes time to pop your own question, do it up right. Though gemstones as platinum halo engagement rings are gaining popularity, the diamond still ranks far ahead of other stones in the romance category. So, before you propose, you need to take care of the ring. First, find out her ring size. It’s a little difficult to do this secretly, so you may need to enlist the help of a trusted female friend.
Any legitimate jeweler would supply a loupe for you to inspect a diamond, which you the consumer have a right to do. You should also ask to see the GIA certificate or AGS certificate for your diamond. If they make up excuses or cannot produce this important diamond grading document, then you should assume the worst and leave, as they probably have something to hide. Avoid synthetic Moissanite diamonds unless that is specifically what you want for your platinum halo engagement ring. Some jewelers will try to rip you off by claiming they are real diamonds. To head this off, look through a 10x loupe and if you see double facets or a doubled diamond table reflection, then you most likely have a Moissanite synthetic diamond. A good way to spot Cubic Zirconia fake diamonds is to view a newspaper placed behind the diamond. If you can read the print, then it’s a fake Cubic Zirconia diamond.
The setting is the part that holds the stone. It can be “pronged” or “invisible.” The stone, of course, is the part everyone goes gaga over. Stones themselves come in many shapes and sizes. While size is a matter of budget, shape is something over which you have control. So, to pick the platinum diamond engagement ring, find out which shape will make your girlfriend’s eyes light up. Here are you choices: Round: This is the most popular style for rings. It’s supposedly the best shape to show off the diamond’s sparkle, and it goes in almost any setting. Oval: The oval cut is similar to the round cut, only…oval, of course. It can look bigger than a round stone because of its shape, but it also works best with larger stones. Marquis - Although it’s rounded on the sides, this cut is pointed at the ends, which makes it look longer than either a round or oval diamond. Princess: In diamonds, princess is another word for a square cut. The upside to the square cut is that it can-possibly-look larger than a similar diamond in a different cut. Emerald Cut: This is a rectangular cut. Some consider is more sophisticated than other shapes. Whether your lady love feels the same is up to her. Pear: The pear cut resembles just what it says…a pear. That means it’s rounded at the top but pointed at the bottom. It’s most recommended for hanging jewelry, such as necklaces and earrings, rather than rings. Once you know what shape diamond your fiance-to-be prefers, it’s time to think about fun words like carat and color and clarity. But that’s for another article!
You can also use your birthstone gem for your engagement ring. If you have a loose gemstone, you can just buy the setting for an engagement ring in jewelry shop or online. You can have your own design of engagement ring setting you like for the loose gemstone you have. Most modern rings are sparkly and sleek, the hottest trend of today’s generation. Some have simple sides which always look good on the finger and comfortable for daily use. Modern simple rings are never out of style as long as they made from quality parts. A single diamond with a simple design will always look glamorous and never out of style. Especially the princess cut diamond. As what the saying says, simplicity is beauty. Although the princess cut diamond is a little bit expensive, the design of the diamond is unique and rare. Modern engagement rings nowadays are not like before. In modern rings, most of the prong heads are shorter; it’s comfortable to use it daily. More elegant and glamorous to look at even no matter how simple is the setting. You can look for modern ring online or you can shop in jewelry stores. Online, is the more convenient In terms of time and days while if you shop from one jewelry store to others, it takes time. My advice is, shop first on the internet. Use it to compare prices, the quality of the metal and the quality of the gemstone itself.
