How to Get The Best Value Diamond Engagement Ring
The engagement ring is the most important jewellery you will give to your partner; therefore, you need to get the best value diamond engagement ring that fits your budget. An engagement ring is essential to your marriage proposal and a symbol of your love and commitment. When your partner wears an engagement ring on her finger, it shows that you have committed to your partner and want to spend your entire life together.
A diamond engagement ring is the most expensive and valuable piece of jewellery most women own. You do not want any kind of problem with the engagement ring. You will have to think carefully before buying the engagement ring because it is one of your life's most important purchases. The engagement ring is probably one of the most expensive things you will buy in your life, so you should spend wisely.
You need to consider the main things when choosing an engagement ring. Read on for a brief introduction to the most important matters to consider before you take out your credit card and make a purchase!
The Design Of Your Diamond Engagement Ring
Design plays an important role in the ring because it will be one of the most expensive things you will buy. You must choose a design that suits her perfectly and is special for your fiancee. A plain band won’t be able to show her personality, and it will be boring. There are a multitude of different design possibilities. You do not need to stick to the classic white diamond solitaire on a white gold band. You can, for example, select different colour diamonds. We offer a range of yellow diamond engagement rings! You might also consider using different precious stones, such as sapphires with diamond halos or side stones.
We suggest that you make the choice of engagement ring a joint process. If you surprise her with an unusual design that she does not like, she will likely accept it and wear it, but it will not bring the years of delight and pride that having exactly the right ring can provide.
Quality And Your Diamond Engagement Ring
Because a diamond engagement ring is so costly, you must be careful when choosing the quality. If you are planning to get a high-quality engagement ring, then you need to learn a little about the 4Cs of diamond quality. The 4Cs are an industry-standard set of terms used to describe the quality of a diamond. We have an article about what the 4Cs are and what they mean. This information will enable you to choose a beautiful ring that your finance will be proud to own without overspending on poor-quality diamonds.
Diamond Clarity
The clarity of the diamond is the most important factor that determines its price. The clarity of the diamond refers to the absence of any flaws in it. Almost all diamonds have some flaws, but a well-cut diamond will minimise their visibility. Clarity is one of the 4Cs of diamond quality.

Diamond Cut Quality
Cut is a way of cutting the stone. There are different cuts that are used to cut the diamonds. The round cut, the emerald cut, and the princess cut are the most popular cuts. However, in diamond grading, the cut quality is the standard of the craftsmanship used in making the diamond, how well the diamond has been cut, the quality of the polishing and the symmetry of the facets. A poorly cut diamond will not have the brilliance and sparkle of a diamond cut to a higher standard.
The Correct Ring And Diamond Size
If you want a perfect ring, you need to ensure that it is exactly as per her ring size. You can check her ring size by measuring the fourth finger on her left hand. You can learn more about ring sizing and ways to find the right size without her finding out here.
Don't think only of the ring's size. Consider the size of the main diamond. The weight of a diamond is measured in carats.
As a rule, women like to have as large a diamond as possible. However, there are ways to get a more impressive diamond without paying a premium for a larger diamond. For example, most engagement rings have a round diamond. These are more expensive per carat than many other shapes because the process of cutting and polishing the diamond causes a lot of wasted diamond material. A cushion-cut diamond with its rounded square shape looks larger than the same carat weight round diamond and costs a little less per carat.
Another option is to choose a design with a central diamond surrounded by a diamond halo. This gives the visual impression of a much larger stone with extra sparkle and brilliance from the diamond halo at a relatively lower cost.
Precious Metal and Diamond Colour Considerations
You can choose the colour of her engagement ring according to your preference. You can choose yellow or white gold if she likes bright colours. White gold or platinum are very popular among women because of their pure look. Some women enjoy classic yellow gold or even rose gold. We suggest you choose the precious metal colour according to her taste, rather than simply sticking to the conventional white colour!
When you choose a white diamond, you want to buy one that looks as brilliant and white as possible. Still, there is little visual difference between adjacent colour grades, and most people can't tell the difference between the best colour grade (D - colourless) and G (near colourless). The G graded diamond will cost far less per carat than the D graded diamond.
Most of our engagement rings have G colour graded diamonds as this is a sweet spot in terms of value and colour. We do not recommend paying extra for quality that nobody except professional jewellers will ever be able to see. You can pick up this information from knowing a little about the 4Cs of diamond quality mentioned above!
How Much Should You Pay?
How much you spend on the engagement ring is one of the most important factors you need to consider when looking for the best-value diamond engagement ring. We cannot suggest an amount to spend, and we do not hold with the old-fashioned "rules" about how many months' salary a ring should cost.
You need to make sure that you are getting the best deal. You can check the market price of various rings and then compare them to make a decision. We strongly suggest that you do not spend more than you can afford. Getting married is an expensive business. Overspending on the engagement ring may affect your budgeting for the rest of the wedding.
One option to consider is to choose a relatively low-cost ring and agree with your fiancée to replace it with a 'permanent' engagement ring after the marriage when your finances are more stable. Even wealthy people do this; David Beckham has bought his wife, Victoria, several engagement rings over the course of their marriage.
