Diamond Engagement Rings

More Information About Diamond Engagement Rings

The giving of diamond engagement rings to signify a proposal and acceptance of marriage is a tradition that is centuries old.

Typically, diamond engagement rings are solitaires - in other words, single stone diamond rings. However, conflict-free diamond engagement rings with multiple natural diamonds set into them are becoming increasingly popular.

The choice of which style and diamond to purchase is as complex as you make it. Some people will believe the myth of a man needing to spend the equivalent of two months salary on a ring, whilst others will not spend enough time doing their research into what constitutes a good deal for them. The simple rule is to buy what you can afford. Set a budget and stick to it. Diamond engagement rings are no different to any other purchase - decide what you want, do your research, and buy the best you can for your money. Over the years, a common misconception is that men should spend the equivalent of two months salary on their diamond engagement rings - a clever concept and marketing campaign developed by De Beers in an attempt to increase consumer spending on diamonds. Don't believe everything you hear and read. There are no hard and fast rules - this concept is a myth.

Whilst representing an unrivalled resource for self-education, the internet today also provides a highly competitive retail environment where you can get more for your money than on the high street.

Diamond engagement rings are made in all the major hallmarked precious metals of white gold, yellow gold, 18kt rose gold, palladium and platinum, and represent one of the most important financial and emotional investments you are ever likely to make, so get it right! Because diamond engagement rings are typically worn every day, do make sure that you care for your diamond engagement ring as you would anything else. This means remove your diamond engagement ring when gardening or doing DIY, for example. Precious metals scratch, and diamonds can be knocked, both of which can lead to undesirable outcomes.
