First of all, make sure that you're keeping the four Cs in mind when you're shopping for a diamond ring. The cut of the diamond, along with the carat (weight), clarity and color will help you to narrow down your choices and select a diamond ring your loved one will never want to take off. The cut of the diamond shouldn't be too shallow or too deep, since this will affect how well the stone will set. And, you'll also have to figure out whether you want a diamond that is clear, blue, yellow or brown--colored stones are great ideas for gifts, but they can create unique engagement rings as well. Of course, the better the quality of the diamond, the more expensive it will be, but you can find lots of great deals on diamond by shopping at a few online stores and diamond emporiums that can be found on the Web.
The diamond rings can be purchased alone, or can come with a plain band that will be used for the wedding ceremony. If you're not getting the ring for a wedding, you may want to choose from the right-hand diamond ring collection available at stores like Zales and Tiffany and Co. These rings are just as exquisite and timeless, and your sure to find a style and design that you'll love.
The band for the diamond rings is also important. If your loved one wears silver or platinum jewelry often, you will probably want to get a band made of the same material. Gold bands also look wonderful with a diamond, and you'll also want to figure out whether or not you want something special inscribed on the band, such as the date the two of you met or married, or a special message that only she will see.
