Diamond Engagement Rings

There are so many beautiful diamond engagement rings to choose from. Your fiance may buy your ring and surprise you.

I did not have a clue that my husband was going to propose. He went out on his own and bought a ring. Then he surprised me with it.

Perhaps you will look at diamonds together first and then he will surprise you. Maybe he will enlist the help of your mom, your sister, or your best friend. So let them all know what you like.

Diamonds can be cut in different shapes and sizes. Usually the bigger the stone, the more it costs.

Diamond engagement rings can have one stone or multiple stones. There can be a mix of tiny precious stones with a larger diamond at the center. A colored stone (not a diamond) can be at the center, with small diamonds all around as well.

The diamonds can have different shapes or cuts. There is a big variety. Oval, round, emerald, princess, pear, rectangular, heart-shaped, and marquise are popular. Try several types on to see which looks best on your hand.

If your hands are large, a large stone with a large setting will look fine on your hand. It will not look as though it is overpowering your hand.

If you have tiny hands, a smaller stone in a smaller setting would work better for you. A single stone instead of multiple stones would look better.

If your fingers are wide, you will need an elongated cut like a marquise or and oval to make your fingers look longer and slimmer. Slimmer cuts of pear, emerald or rectangular would work as well.

If your fingers are slim, try a rounder or wider cut. A marquise turned sideways would work also.
