Buying an engagement diamond ring in Singapore and elsewhere is worthy of a big investment, loved by your girlfriend while being a wise purchase can only be possible by keeping these basic pointers in mind:- Determine a Budget: - The cost of an engagement ring is not directly proportional to the amount of love you have for your partner, regardless of what the sales people drill into your head. Figure out the personal budget that you can afford to spend before even stepping into a jewellery store.

Paying attention is mandatory: - It will be great time saver for you if you notice in advance the style of jewellery that your partner loves and prefers to wear to start the process of elimination and selection between gold and diamond, classic or modern, flashy or understated, etc. at the jewellery store. Check out the various options in gold, diamond, silver with intricate designs, diamond filigree rings, etc. and choose what works best for you both as a couple and falls within your budget.

Choose the Correct Stone: - Choose the band and the stone separately as it makes a better deal. You can opt for a stone as classic as the round diamond solitaire or something in a different shape like pear, marquis, etc. that your partner prefers. When choosing a diamond, always check the four C’s of carat, cut, clarity and colour before making your final choice.

Setting of the Stone: - Once the stone has been selected, it is time to decide the setting. Options include the simple solitaire setting, filigree designs, side stones, eternity bands, precious settings, etc. in gold, silver, platinum, etc.

Shop with a buddy: - You will be easy prey to salespersons if you walk into a jewellery store alone. If they can be trusted to keep the secret, bring along your partners mother, sister or best friend, else one of your own trusted buddies. Make sure you choose someone with similar tastes as yours as your shopping buddy.

Choose a quality jeweller- One whose work you identify with and is a part and parcel of the jewellery trade for years rather than new fangled designers and stores that peddle wares that are substandard and meant for mass marketing. Keep a track of their return policies as well in case of emergencies.
