Many men spent February 29th working themselves into frenzy, nervous about the prospect of their girlfriend asking for their hand in marriage. But while some were undoubtedly afraid of commitment, others simply wanted the opportunity to be the one doing the asking. Now that the 29th has been and gone, many men will now be turning their attention to diamond engagement rings. If you’re in this situation but don’t have the first clue about choosing diamond jewellery, where do you begin?
Four Cs
A great place to begin is with the four Cs – carat, colour, clarity and cut.
Buying diamond jewellery of any kind will always include a compromise across these four criteria, with the price varying depending on the quality of each. The most important thing is to think about what matters most. For example, if you want a quality diamond but aren’t concerned about the size, then you’ll be best to focus on colour and clarity in your search. However, if you want a large diamond with plenty of sparkle, carat and cut are most important.
Other important considerations when choosing a diamond engagement ring is the style of the ring itself and how it matches your loved one’s tastes. For example, they may want a ring that has a very elegant, classic style. Others may prefer a more unusual, but no less beautiful, option such as blue diamond rings or black diamond rings.
It always helps to play close attention to the types of jewellery your girlfriend wears and, if you’re still unsure, talk to her friends or family for advice. It’s also a good idea to know her ring size so that when she say yes, it slips onto her finger effortlessly and you can both enjoy the perfect moment.
