Summary:
The evening was perfect. The lights were dimmed just right. The ring is in your
pocket, your heart in your throat! The food is untouched, and the wine is
nervously gulped down by you. Your girlfriend looks like an angel, the aura of
her beauty is leaving everyone speechless in the restaurant. Your blood
pressure is at an all-level peak and the world around is oblivious to you.
Finally you pop the question! The ring? Was it the 'right' one? The gemstone
you use, the setting and the metal you've used makes all the difference! There
are five important things to look for when you choose your engagement ring.
They include, firstly it has to be easy and practical to wear, secondly it has
to withstand everyday wear, thirdly it has to hold its gemstones securely,
fourthly the gemstone that is used and finally it should look good.
Let me elaborate. 1.Easy And Practical To Wear: Depending on the lifestyle
one can decide what is more practical and easy to wear. The higher the setting
of the gemstone or diamond the more the ring could catch onto things. Like if
one works behind a desk all day, then could wear a high set ring. But if one
works as a pre-school teacher or a hairdresser it would be very difficult to
wear a high set ring, a well and low set ring would do well.
2.Withstanding Everyday Wear: The metal used and the way the ring with the
gemstone is styled is very important. Especially in work places like factories
there is a higher possibility your ring wouldn't last long. Preferably the
rings should be made such that the part between the ring and the crown is made
strong. Gold wears off faster when compared to Platinum. Gold can be 18ct, 14ct
or 9ct and be either white, yellow gold. 18ct Gold, whether it is white, yellow
gold is the best and preferred choice for Gold Engagement Rings followed by
14ct. Platinum is now popular in the rings worn by almost one-third of today's
engaged women.
3.Holding The Gemstones Securely: The Gemstones have to be set well such that
they are safe and don't cause too much of a hindrance while doing anything.
Here are a few things you can look out for when buying the right ring:
1. 6 claws hold the gemstone better than 4 claws. 2. A heavier setting is better
than a light one. 3. A lower setting is less likely to be damaged than a higher
setting. 4.The Gemstone used: Many people like the idea of enhancing a
birthstone with diamonds; a very hot trend slowly catching up in the
market.

C's - Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat. One can choose from a variety of colors -
using the letter grading system for classifying the color of diamonds, starting
with D for the lightest blue tone to Z for the yellow stones. Higher quality
Diamonds reflect more light and have a crisp sparkle. The various types of cuts
of diamonds are the main reasons for the range of differences in reflections of
the Diamonds. < /P > < P > 5.The Looking Good Factor: If there's a design that
you really like, fits your budget and it complies the above four requirements
then what are you waiting for? It is difficult it is to find the perfect
Engagement ring for your loved one, no doubt but once you find that special
ring for that special Girl (Lucky Girl may I say...) it only symbolizes that
rare and strange thing called LOVE, treasure it! "Perfect love is rare indeed -
for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the
very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the
understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of
the scholar and the fortitude of the certain." -Leo Buscaglia Best Wishes For a
Great Engagement Ahead!
