Okay guys, listen up: this one\u2019s for you. If you\u2019re in the market for a diamond engagement ring (by the way, congratulations!), then you\u2019ve probably armed yourself with your knowledge about the four Cs: cut, color, clarity and carat. While you might think this is enough to guarantee that she gets a perfect diamond engagement ring, the 4 Cs won\u2019t come to your aid when you\u2019re stuck for ideas about the setting, the type of precious metal for the band, and diamond engagement ring<\/a> insurance.<\/p>\n

With so many curveballs waiting to be thrown your way, how can you guarantee that she\u2019ll love her diamond engagement ring?<\/p>\n

Simple: by using this handy article as your guide!<\/p>\n

Get the Shape Out of the Way<\/strong>: Forget fancy gemology terms like \u201ccut\u201d, \u201cfacets\u201d and \u201cunderside\u201d; the first thing you need to get right is the type of shape she\u2019ll love to see on her diamond engagement ring.<\/p>\n

This is where you\u2019ll need to pull in advice from her (discreet) best friend. What diamond shapes make her happy? Which shapes make her not-so-thrilled? Is there a celebrity who is sporting a diamond engagement ring that she adores? Once you have the shape of the diamond out of the way, you can move onto the next step\u2026<\/p>\n

Selecting the Perfect Setting<\/strong>: Here\u2019s where your jeweler\u2019s knowledge will come in handy. The setting of her diamond engagement ring can help maximize the size of a smaller-carat diamond, or swamp it so that it looks miniscule. To help make your diamond look bigger \u2013 and put a huge smile on her face \u2013 remember that round and oval diamonds look great in prong settings, larger diamonds look fresh in bezel settings, and several smaller stones look amazing in eternity settings. Ask your jeweler to help you identify each type of setting.<\/p>\n

Select Her Favorite Metal.<\/strong> She may wear a lot of gold jewelry, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean she wants her diamond engagement ring to be made from gold. To hedge a safe bet, let the diamond determine what type of precious metal you\u2019ll be using. Clear diamonds look fantastic against platinum, palladium and white-gold, while colored diamonds stand out against a golden-yellow backdrop.<\/p>\n

Choose Customer Service.<\/strong> Despite these tips, you might not always get the diamond engagement ring right. If she\u2019s not thrilled with it, this is where having a jeweler with a fantastic return policy comes in handy. Some jewelers offer a generous 30-day return guarantee, while others won\u2019t budge on the sale. Be sure you know what you\u2019re in for from your jeweler before making the big purchase.<\/p>\n

With this article by your side, you can guarantee that she\u2019ll fall head over heels in love with her diamond engagement ring<\/a> \u2013 just like she did with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
