Buying engagement rings

Engagement rings are a big investment so take your time and plan ahead. First of all consider your budget, It is better to figure out how much you can afford to spend before you make your choice, the golden rule within the jewellery industry is apparently two month’s salary, so there is a good guideline to begin with. You are going to have to make a lot of choices, platinum or gold rings, modern or traditional designs, or maybe look at the jewellery your partner already wears, do your homework beforehand. Then you will have to choose a stone and setting. Sometimes you get a better deal if you choose the diamond separately; the most classic diamond is a round solitaire although there are several different shapes to choose from, namely pear and marquis.
