Make it Perfect with the Style of Engagement Rings

When it comes time to popping the big question, I hope you have done your homework. I know that the more planning you put into something, the more opportunities you have for something to go wrong, but trust me: this is something you do not want to just ad-lib your way through. I have heard some great stories about proposals and I have heard some horror stories as well. Funny enough, many of the horror story proposals ended up not working out. You need to keep in mind that this is the most special day of her life. Whether she has told you or not, she has probably been dreaming about this day for a long time. I'm pretty sure her dream doesn't involve being asked over pizza and a six pack while watching ESPN, either. You want to do it right, you want to do all of it right, and that means making sure you select from the right style of engagement rings.

Yes, I said right style. Please don't tell me that you thought there was only one style to choose from. No two women are the same, something you have probably discovered over the years, and that means that not every woman is going to want the same style of diamond. So here's a quick course in not messing this up.

The most common diamond style that you're going to find is the perfect cut diamond. This isn't just hyperbole when they call it that. It is a precise number of cuts that maximizes the sparkle of a diamond. A quick survey of most married women's ring fingers will show you that cut of diamond. Thing is, you shouldn't be looking at their fingers. You should be looking at your girlfriend's fingers.

What style of cut does she like for other fine jewelry that she has? She may prefer a round cut, or an emerald cut, or a ruby cut, or a pear cut (do you see where I'm going with this?) so don't just buy a ring because you think it's the one she is supposed to have. If she doesn't wear a lot of rings, then ask her what she likes. If you're thinking about asking her to marry you, she's probably thinking about it too, and will tell you. Armed with this knowledge, now it's time to head down to your professional jeweler and select the right affordable ring with the right cut of diamond. You want this moment to be perfect, so make sure the ring is, as well.
