Okay, so trying to choose the perfect ring for the person you love is down to one particular type now, solitaire engagement rings. Yet, despite this narrowing down of choices to a certain style, you still find it somewhat mind boggling as to which one of the different solitaire engagement rings you encounter is “the one.” There are ways to get the kind of ring that you know will make your future partner, and yourself, happy.
First Considering Your Budget
Of course, choosing the right solitaire ring from the many engagement rings you find on sale online or even near you may not really be much of a problem if your budget is set at a certain limit. You cannot really aim to buy a ring from the solitaire engagement rings you see on the sites you browse if you do not have the funds to do just that. A lot of these rings you do find on sale come at a certain premium, especially if the rocks on these rings are rather sizable or are of a superior quality.
Considering your budget before you go shopping for a ring is one of the ways you can avoid getting a headache from the many choices that are available to you. With a buying limit imposed on the kind of ring you can buy, the number of solitaire engagement rings you look at could also drastically decrease, giving you a bigger chance of finding the right ring in a shorter period of time. Once your budget is set at a certain bracket, you can actually try and choose rings within that particular bracket from a few jewelry sites.
Choosing the Diamond Cut and Setting
Once you have established the budget for your engagement ring, you can next narrow down the choices to either the kind of cut you want for the ring or the kind of setting you want the ring to have. There are a lot of solitaire engagement rings that come in the more popular cuts of diamonds, like the emerald cut or the more common round, brilliant cut. There are also solitaire diamond rings that have stones cut in some of the more unique cuts for diamonds like the present favorite, the princess cut or the pear shaped diamonds. Some solitaire engagement rings have diamonds that are cut in the heart shape or in the marquis style.
After choosing the kind of stone cut, you will then need to narrow down your choices to the kind of setting the diamond should be in. Solitaire diamond rings are often best seen set in either gold or platinum since these two precious metals are the most popular metals to pair with a precious diamond. There are times that the setting is made of a combination of both precious metals or different shades of gold.
Depending on the jeweler who sells these solitaire diamond rings or on the craftsman who will make the ring you want, you can mix and match the metal with the stone.
There are actually a lot of sites that let you build your solitaire engagement rings from scratch and they often let you start with their online diamond ring creator that features many different stones in different sizes, different ring settings. Each of these components for the ring already has prices on them, making it easier for you to assemble the perfect diamond solitaire ring for your loved one in the budget you can afford.

Synonymous with diamonds is the word “forever.” This is basically why most people-especially couples-choose this as a symbol of their affection and eternal love for their partner by putting it in a ring or any other jewelry. Unless stolen or lost, real diamonds are meant to stand the test of time and generations. No wonder these are considered as the most expensive mineral used as a gem.
For men, a pair or two of jewelry is enough. But when it comes to women, it is altogether a different story. Most of the time, men have to contend in buying the engagement or wedding ring alone to keep some element of surprise while women would want to have a companion while choosing a ring to get better perspectives.
A ring to stand the test of time
If there were one kind of ring that exemplifies eternal sparkle and beauty, that would be the diamond eternity ring. Long before, diamond eternity rings were already described as the as the best “dress” or the “best wedding ring” because its endless or eternal loop is great symbol of love that would last for eternity.
Generally, all diamond eternity rings are set with a stone or diamond set. These are categorized as a “full eternity” ring-that has stones set completely around the shank-and a “half eternity” ring-which has stones set partially around the shank. Today, many eternity rings come multi-stranded or plaited, among other themes or designs.
If you are looking forward to getting a diamond eternity ring-whether as a wedding or engagement, for purely personal satisfaction, or a major investment-take note of its special characteristics aside from carefully examining the 4Cs-the cut, clarity, color, and carat weight.
In a jewelry store, two diamonds may look alike but they can be very different and just like two diamonds of equal size that have very different values. The four qualities of a diamond namely color, clarity, cut and carat weight determine the real value of the gem you are looking for. These standards are also applicable to most gemstones.
Usually, a full diamond eternity ring costs twice or thrice as much than the half eternity because it has more diamonds. More and more people-especially women-focus in buying half diamond eternity rings that have stones concentrated in the “head” or front of the ring because they can easily be sized compared to full eternity rings, more comfortable to wear, and less expensive.
Bear in mind that square, oblong and round stones are excellent choices for diamond eternity rings because of its continuity.
Don’t forget to compare prices. Diamond eternity rings need not always be expensive. If you have found a design that you really admire in a specific jewelry store or an online jeweler, try looking in other stores because they might be selling the same product with the same specifications for a lesser price. Make sure that you at least have a minor comparison of prices from several different jewelers before you finally buy that princess cut diamond engagement ring.
Check and double-check the bill of sale carefully. After buying your dream diamond eternity ring, make sure that everything about the ring is fully described in written from and explained to you by the jeweler.

The ring was 5 karat (avalible in 4.5 and 4) princess cut diamond on a platinum band. Flawless. It has one stone on either side each being 1 karat. It was breathtakingly beautiful but the price wasn’t listed. I really need to know how much it would be. I wanna propose to my gf. I’m prepared to spend from 10 to 60 grand. Is it in my budget or do I need to take a second morage on my house?
How much is the 5 karat?
The 4.5 and the 4?
Start at 100k+ for the center stone of 5 carats that is very good quality.
Here is one at bluenile and it isn’t flawless for over 100k.

Which one do you like better? and why?
I prefer the round or ‘brilliant’ cut as they call it because that shape is timeless, it’s not a trend. It tends to sparkle a LOT more than a princess cut diamond as well.
Ask your jeweler to look at both under a microscope so you can see the difference in shine (your eyes work too but the microscope gives you a better idea.
If you saw the princess and fell in love with it though go for that. You have to follow your heart and sometimes no matter what logical reasoning someone else has for making the opposite decision it won’t sway your mind. Please make sure though that you aren’t getting the princess cut diamond because of it’s name, it does sound pretty but that’s kinda the idea.
