Engagement RingsEngagement rings are worn for a lifetime -- so make sure the engagement ring dazzles, delights and fills one with love. Many woman dream of an engagement ring their entire life - so if possible, find out preferences first.
Know that as this will be worn everyday, so one needs to pick a ring that fits ones lifestyle. If one is very active, consider a channel set ring as it is less likely to get caught on items. Getting a high quality ring will last longer. If you are looking for a unusual engagement ring, decide what you want different about it. Do you want a different stone, unusual setting, more elaborate ring, or just a unique style? Think about why you want it different and whether that difference will fit in the bride-to-be's lifestyle. One reason gold and diamond engagement rings are so popular is because they are durable. If you decide on an opal engagement ring, know that much more care for the ring will be needed -- and the likelihood of it lasting a lifetime is small without really persistent habits. So choose a ring with lots of care. When comparing diamond engagement rings, always note if there are several diamonds. Diamonds are priced by size. If the ring has "ctw" rather than "ct", that means that multiple diamonds are being used to determine the carat weight. A 1 carat "ctw" will be much less expensive than a 1 carat solitaire "ct" diamond ring. Be certain that you are comparing alike rings for price.
