The perfect stunning 5 stone diamond ring for your beloved

Posted June 30th, 2010 by Spike

If you’re in a serious relationship and are sure you’ve found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, it’s time to start looking for the one perfect shared prong diamond ring. What you’ll find out once you start your search is that the styles are endless, there are now dozens of designer collections to choose from, and in addition to your local neighborhood jewelry store you can also find engagement rings at “destination” stores that specialize in engagement rings, mass merchants who sell wedding ring sets, and online retailers. I’ve worked in the engagement ring industry for nine years and have consulted countless family members, friends and couples with their searches. Here are the top five things you need to know before you buy your engagement ring:

Make sure the ring has a thick metal shank and is stamped with the metal mark, for example PT or PT 950 for platinum or 18K or 14K for a yellow gold or white gold ring. The metal should be polished and should not have any porosity or rough casting spots.

Buy Something She Will Like

Easier said than done? Not really. Before you start to look for the ring, take a look at the types of jewelry your intended already wears. Is it yellow gold? Or does she prefer white gold? If she always wears silver, then she is a white metal lover, and would probably adore a platinum 5 stone diamond rings. However, if your budget will not stretch to platinum, then consider buying a white gold ring instead. Do not buy a white gold ring if you only ever see her wearing yellow gold jewelry!

Keep It Simple

If you are really unsure whether she would like a cluster, a trilogy, a channel set diamond band or a twin stone ring, stick with a classic solitaire. After all it has been the most popular style for engagement rings since the mid 1960s or thereabouts for a reason! Make sure you buy a good diamond and that the band is the right color metal and she will love it.

Only buy from a business that has been in operation for at least 10 years and can back up anything they sell with a 30 day money back guarantee and a lifetime diamond warranty. A B or better rating with the Better Business Bureau should also be considered when you are shopping around for your shared prong diamond ring.

Buy with your eyes, not with your ears. A salesperson should help you find the diamond and ring that is perfect for YOU and that fits into YOUR budget. If a salesperson tries to coerce you to buy a ring because it’s on sale, or tells you “this is the last one and might not be here if you don’t buy it today” exit the store immediately. When you find the ring that is exactly what you want, and the diamond sparkles just the way you imagined, you’ll know it’s the perfect ring for you.
