Asking a woman to marry you should be an event to remember both for you and for your woman. If you are looking for a good way to make an impression on her, you know that a diamond ring will work out great. Diamond rings have been for the longest time the face of engagement rings, but they can also work okay for wedding rings. The engagement should be a surprise for her hence you will need to go through the purchasing process alone.

This should however not worry you because working with a few questions you will find the right diamond ring for her without spoiling the surprise. Here are some of the questions that can guide you to the right engagement ring when shopping.

How much do I want to spend?

This question is very important considering that diamond rings can be quite expensive. The choices are also quite numerous and it can be tedious to make a choice when you are not working with a budget. When you have a price range in mind, you will manage to narrow down the choices and hence get a ring you can comfortably afford.

What jewelry does she love?

You can tell by what she already wears. Does she love sophisticated and feminine, modern or classic, gold or silver, chunky or delicate, ornate or simple? They are important considerations that will ensure you get her a ring she is bound to love. Getting a ring similar to her jewelry preferences should work excellently well.

What is her ring size?

Nothing can be more frustrating than proposing with a ring that is either too small or too large for her finger. This makes it important to at least know the right ring size to get the perfect fit. You can use any ring she wears to trace the inner circle or simply press the ring on a bar soap to get the impression. This will help your jeweler find the appropriate size for her finger. In case she wears no ring you can work with, you can make excellent guesses by looking at her fingers.

What diamond shape is most suitable?

Diamond can be cut in different shapes and when buying a ring this is amongst the things you must consider. Remember that some shapes work well with other ring gems while others are better standing alone. Emerald and square are higher in clarity and have fewer facets; hence other inclusions will be more visible. You can consider her lifestyle and preferences to choose from the many shapes available.

What diamond setting is best?

Solitaire remains to be most popular with engagement rings. The single stone makes the ring stand out, simple and stylish. You can however consider other settings such as side stones or three stones or even smaller stones running around the band. Her preferences should work well in leading you to the most suitable setting for her. Consider the wedding ring too when choosing this setting.
