Diamond Engagement rings

Sometimes we all are preoccupied by the common opinions and do the things accordingly without thinking much over it. This is true also when purchasing diamond engagement rings. Many beliefs are in circulation about the purchasing, the ring which may bar you from making a good deal.

Often, couples are told that they need to spend two months' salary to purchase diamonds. This also is not true, as you have to spend according to the cost of the diamond which may be less or more than your two months earnings.

Another belief is associated with the size of the diamond. It is said that a greater size of diamond engagement ring is more beautiful. The fact is that size of the stone does not matter. It is the settings, design, cuts and style that make the diamond and the ring appreciable. Even with a well cut smaller diamond, the ring will look equally great if overall designing of the ring is done with craftsmanship.

Yellow gold was once popular and was the only choice for diamond engagement ring for its metal. People still tend to carry that image. Today, besides yellow gold, you can opt for platinum as well. White gold is a perfect option for the metal band.

In fact, white metal is a perfect backdrop for enhancing the glitter of the diamond on the ring.
A belief has been that there should be only one diamond on the ring. diamonds to give a unique look to the ring.
