An engagement ceremony can be a memorable moment. You don't want to mess up. Picking out the perfect engagement ring with the best fit, look, color, and shape can be cumbersome. If you are confused regarding which ring to select, Here are 6 tips for picking out the perfect engagment ring.

The Style of the Ring

Rings can be of different shapes and styles. For this, you should know the styles preferred by your partner.

Shape

Rings can come in various shapes. Some common shapes for diamond engagement rings are

●Round cut

●Pear-cut

●Cushion-cut

●Emerald-cut

●Marquise-Cut

●Oval cut

●Radiant cut

●Heart cut

●Trillion cut

The most common cuts people prefer are round, emerald, oval, heart, and radiant. Try figuring out which shape your partner likes. Does your partner like round-shaped rings or squares?

Size of the Jewel

Does your partner prefer a tiny crystal or a medium-sized one? Try asking these questions with your partner a month before you want to select the perfect ring. On some hands, a tiny sized stone will look good and on some hands, a bigger stone will ehnance the look.

Color

The ring color matters a lot. Usually, engagement rings should be white gold as it is easy to pair a white gold ring with any dress. However, other colors also look classy. You can go for the following colors.

●Aquamarine

●Radiant yellow

●London blue topaz

●Emerald green

●Brown

●Light blue sapphire

●Rose gold

Price of the Ring

You need to see your budget and then go for the ring. The price of engagement rings depends on the ring's style, cut, and size.

Size

A bigger diamond will be more pricy than a smaller diamond ring.

Cut

Round-cut diamond rings are more pricy than other cuts because they have perfect radiation. However, oval, pear, and marquise cuts are less expensive. You don’t always have to go for the cliché round cut. You can get unique engagement rings for less.

You can adjust the color and stone type to cut the price. You can get a 0.50Ct diamond at a reasonable price. For better quality, increase your budget and get a perfect quality diamond of 0.70Ct.

Buy the Ring from a Wholesaler

Fancy brands charge a lot of additional markup on diamond rings. The best option is going to a wholesale diamond market or a retailer that is not traditional. Purchasing the ring from a non-traditional retailer will save around thirty percent on cost with almost the exact services.

Trustworthy Ring seller

Investing in an engagement ring is a hefty investment; therefore, it is essential to go for someone you can trust. Avoid shopping online and making a prepayment because you can lose money this way. Select a seller who is well-known and has a good reputation and reviews.

Measurements of the Ring Finger

What else can be perfect than an ideal engagement ring fitting perfectly on your partner's finger? When buying the ring, make sure you know your partner's ring size. You can take your partner's old ring with you for guidance. If you cannot get hold of your partner's ring, measure the ring finger size when your partner is asleep.

Finalizing the Gemstone

Some people think an engagement ring should be a diamond ring only. However, it is just a myth. You can have an engagement ring of gold and other gemstones too. When you go for a gemstone engagement ring, you will save money, which can be used to buy a diamond ring for your wedding.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
