When you choose an engagement ring for your fiancee, make sure that you are well-prepared for the shopping. Otherwise, you will be overwhelmed with the wide array of selections of engagement rings that jewelers may show you. You have to decide, prior to shopping, the right engagement ring that suits both you and your fiancee's lifestyles and tastes.

Carat, clarity, color and cut are the four things that you want to look for in a diamond. Cut is used to refer to the symmetry, finish and proportion of a diamond. A skilled craftsperson uses a mathematical formula to achieve a good quality diamond cut. A masterful cut creates facets and angles on the diamond that serve as miniature mirrors to disperse light. Experts stress the importance of this reflection or brilliance in assessing a diamond's quality, because cutting precision is essential to enhancing the gemstone's beauty.

The ideal cut is the round brilliant diamond, but princess cut diamonds are gaining popularity lately. Princess cut diamonds are square-cut with brilliance that is a little inferior to those of round brilliant diamonds. There are at least forty-five facts in princess cut diamonds, but round brilliant diamonds have at least fifty-eight facets.

Princess cut diamonds need four-pronged settings when used in an engagement ring. Ensure that these settings clasp the four corners securely since these are more likely to break. Cropping the corners on princess cut diamonds may reduce chances of chipping, but if such quick cuts are improperly executed the stone may lose some luster.

You can find an engagement ring with a solitaire diamond, or a combination of princess cut diamonds with other accent stones. Engagement rings with princess cut diamonds are either set in gold or platinum. As you know, you will have to increase your budget if you choose a platinum setting since this can be very expensive.
