The Bling
For Your Budget
First thing's first: determine your budget. It's been said that you should spend about two to three month's salary on an engagement ring, but it's also important to be realistic. Going for a diamond ring? Get to know the 4 C's (cut, clarity, color and carat) and certified vs. non-certified diamonds; it'll be easier to figure out what fits your budget. You'll also find gorgeous gemstone pieces that are equally as stunning.
What's her style?
Take a peek at her jewelry collection and note her style and ring size. Is she into simple pieces or does she gravitate towards a specific look? Does she wear gold or rose-gold jewelry or prefer silver tones more? This will narrow down the right stone, style and metal for the band. Still not sure?
