Diamond Engagement Ring Buying Guide

There is a lot of pressure that comes along with buying a diamond engagement ring

. Clearly, you want your girlfriend and future wife to be very wowed by the sight of her engagement ring, and that means picking out the right one. The question is where do you begin?

One of the first decisions that you have to make is what your budget is for the engagement ring. Everyone has his own ideas about how much he should spend on this purchase, and there used to be a jeweler's rule-of-thumb that said you should spend up to three times your monthly salary on the engagement ring. In reality, you have to look at your own financial situation and determine what you can afford to spend. The last thing you want to do is to start your marriage deeply in debt because you bought a very expensive diamond engagement ring that you couldn't really afford.

There are lots of places to shop for diamond engagement rings. Some are pretty standard, like the chain jewelry stores at the mall, or the small local jeweler downtown. Others are newer, like utilizing the Internet to find online sellers. Rather than going the traditional route of buying an engagement ring, you might consider finding a jewelry craftsman who could design and make a ring for you. If you want to have a unique ring that is just as one-of-a-kind as your fiance, this might be the way to go.

You might not think there are many inexpensive diamond engagement ring options out there, but as it turns out there are a few. For example, you might have a relative that has is willing to part with an engagement ring. It doesn't come too much cheaper than free! Another interesting option is to ask your relatives if they have another ring that they might be willing to part with that could function as an engagement ring. If neither of these options work and you are strapped for cash, you can turn to other less expensive gems or artificial diamonds as a temporary measure.

The point to keep in mind is that there are many options for finding a great engagement ring that your fiance will treasure. It is a matter of taking some time to think about what she would like, do some shopping, and maybe get a bit creative. But always remember, whatever you select, if she is as perfect as you believe she is, the ring will be perfect for her because it came from you.
