Need Suggestions about Diamond Ring

Greetings!
I am here after a long time. Yes, I am getting engaged in this March and as my fiancé is poor at the selection of rings that's why I am doing this my own.

Actually, I was willing to go with simple silver or gold ring with named engraving inside. But, he likes diamond ones that's why I am searching good ideas. I found this place to design diamond ring online but I am very much confused because all of them look so pretty but I can't buy all of them. All in all, I have a headache now and it would be great if you give me some unique ideas.

Secondly, tell me the diamond colour and shape. Do you think gold or silver a right ring with a single diamond stone?

I am currently on my third engagement-wedding diamond ring. Long story. A couple of years ago we took my then current ring to a jeweler we like because the prongs had worn down and the Florentine surface had mostly worn off.

I had been looking at settings for a couple of years but couldn't find anything I liked. The jeweler helped us design a ring and found a couple of matching diamonds to enhance the original solitaire.

You will probably be wearing this ring for decades, so make sure you get something that fits in with your style, and not just because it's pretty or fashionable. For me, simpler endured and I still kind of miss my old style ring. New one is very pretty, but it's meant that some of my other rings worn on the right hand don't look quite right now.

And probably needless to say, decide on the diamond you want before you choose the setting. We had my old diamond appraised and I was surprised to learn that it isn't quite as good quality as the guy who sold it to us claimed. We didn't get an objective appraisal then, just took his word for it.

And yes, I always like a single stone setting. I have a round diamond, and did have a beautiful marquis cut in a right hand ring, but that was stolen by burglars.

Good luck. Do you prefer gold or white/gold silver for other jewelry you have? I always preferred gold until I let my hair go gray. Mixing and matching gold and silver is now just fine, but it doesn't alway work.

Thanks for sharing detailed advice. Though I was considering prettiness without understanding either it would be fit well or not but yes, after your comment, I would go with a better comfort level.

Yes, I have plans to go with a single and round diamond and probably white gold will be a good combo. It tough to find exact quality that's why I want to buy from a verified company instead of jeweller or reseller. Let's see.

I decided on yellow gold for my rings. I have very warm colouring and yellow gold enhances my skin tone. If my colouring were cooler I would go with white gold. My engagement ring has a simple setting. There is one ruby and two diamonds.

Congratulations on your upcoming engagement. Our daughter recently got engaged and worked with a reputable jeweler (and her fiance) to create her ring. A good jeweler provides an education about diamonds while allowing you to try on different style possibilities within your budget. Using a jeweler that is very well reviewed or recommended by a knowledgeable friend can get you the best answer as to what is right for you. Consider going to more than one jeweler. They may offer equal quality and value, but feature different styles. Have fun with it!

I think it would be easier to pick one that is already made than to design one. Try them on and see what you like.

Actually, I found more variety in online designs especially in diamonds as compared to the jeweler. Yes, yellow gold is always my first love. But, I think white gold looks good for diamond.

In my case, we browsed a lot of Sunday circulars (this was pre-Google) to see what styles appealed to me. Then went to a jeweler to try on some examples and get a diamond education. Then my husband worked with a local goldsmith to design my rings using a diamond from an earlier ring.

For me: yellow gold, central oval diamond, surrounded by smaller ones, delicate scale, and durable.

25 years later it still works for me!

I think a Tiffany setting is a timeless look for a solitaire. I am partial to white gold/silver/platinum but I really think that's a matter of personal preference.

Congratulations!

My hubby and I went ring shopping in person and I ended up loving something I would never in a million years have chosen online. I think it's a good idea to try on some rings in person before making a decision.
