Once you begin the journey of looking for engagement rings it’s time to think about how much to spend. Some experts say your groom-to-be should spend 3 months salary on your sparkler while others say there is no limit now a days. Let’s be a little more realistic. You shouldn’t go into debt trying to buy an engagement ring. If three months salary is pushing it you should check out other alternatives.
First you need to think about the style of engagement ring you like. Whether its a Halo, Princess, Classic or Round cut diamond there are a ton of styles to choose from and finding the one that matches your bride-to-be’s style is important. Once you’ve figured the style then you need her size because you don’t want to propose with a ring that doesn’t fit!
Do your research and decide what’s important to you. Size or the “4Cs” of diamond grading. Let’s hope you decide the “4Cs” of diamond grading are more important because your bride-to-be deserves a beautiful ring regardless of how big it is. Now the search can begin!
