"I have an engagement ring, which is my favourite accessory", said a woman once.

The statement clearly depicts the love women have for jewellery especially engagement rings. Marriage is one of those bonds that demand love, care and trust and thus engagement rings certainly act as a taken love. It’s totally up to you whether you and your partner prefer a gold ring or a silver ring or a diamond ring, but one thing is for sure that:

"Diamonds are trumps in the game of hearts"

Diamond engagement rings for women are undoubtedly the most beautiful and precious symbol of affection. The sparkle and glitter that a diamond possesses is bound to bring the same amount of sparkle on a woman’s face. But is it that easy to buy one? Obviously, no.

Choosing the perfect ring for your partner might be the most difficult task you end up doing for your marriage. Whether you buy diamond engagement rings online or otherwise, you cannot afford to be ignorant. Here is a list of factors that will surely help you in buying that flawless

" token of love".

• Budget - This the first and foremost factor that you should be doing before buying a ring for your partner. Make up your mind and decide how much you want to spend otherwise you will be confronted with a dizzying array of choices. Here the good news is that online portals allow you to set filters according to your range which in turn help in making a wise and right choice.
• The 4 C’s - These being carat, cut, colour and certification. Before buying a diamond ring, you should be well aware of these factors otherwise you might end up making a wrong choice.

Carat: The carat-weight of a diamond measures the physical weight of the diamond and not the actual size.

Cut: It has a huge effect on a diamond’s beauty. One should never mistake cut for its shape. If a diamond is cut properly, it will automatically imitate shine through the centre of the stone.

Colour: If you can put in efforts to find that colourless diamond for you or your loved one, then you got to have the most valuable and eye catcher ring. Though they are rare to be found, youcan always try for one.

Certification: Not every diamond comes with a certificate but if you are purchasing one and putting in your money and efforts, then don’t hesitate in considering documentation. Several brands that sell online, provide GIA, HKD or SGL certifications.

• Shape - Having checked onto the above-mentioned factors, your job is to look for that perfect shape that will best suit your partner’s hands and accumulate glances of appreciation. If you're uncertain about your partner’s diamond shape preference, it's sensible to stick to the classics, such as a round or square shape.
• Setting - Consider your partner’s lifestyle and how well a certain setting design will fit into it. For instance, if they are more active or outdoorsy then it’s always good to choose a ring that is less ornate i.e. less likely to get stuck into things. Otherwise, if your partner is more of a style-statement individual, then it’s always better to buy a one with a higher stone profile, more intricate ring detailing or a unique motif.

Other than these, the number of diamonds, type of metal (gold, platinum, rose gold, white gold etc.), choice of brand and taste also play a major role.

Summary: Diamonds are undoubtedly extraordinary pieces of purity, love, elegance, beauty and style. Though they are worn and liked by all, women top the list. Diamonds certainly make them go weak in their knees and especially when it comes to their engagement rings. So, boys beware and choose the best for your spouse.
