Engagement/Gifts

Do not buy Diamonds, Emeralds or Rubies if you not are in love, they mean a promise even if you do not realize it.

Engagement Rings

The classic engagement ring is composed of two parts: a diamond and a setting. For the best value, find the engagement ring setting she'll love then devote the remainder of your budget to a beautiful, certified diamond or a CZ until you can afford the other one, maybe you want to buy your house first? Engagements are rarely an out-of-the-blue surprise, so it is common to discuss engagement ring choices with your partner. The only way to ensure you find a ring that will match her taste and style is to shop for a ring together. Find out her ring size.

How Much Should I Spend?

This is an emotional event, and a purchase that will last a lifetime. The two-month salary convention is a common starting point, but we believe that regardless of the amount you budget, your most important considerations should be quality and value. The classic engagement ring is composed of two parts: a diamond and a setting. For the best value, find the engagement ring setting she'll love then devote the remainder of your budget to a beautiful, certified diamond. This guide will help you choose an engagement ring setting she'll love, and decide on the right combination of diamond size and quality, so you're sure to choose the perfect ring.

Choose a Setting Style

More Than Gems offers a wide variety of CZ engagement settings. For help in choosing, here's a summary of the three main styles.

Solitaire Settings

This is our most popular engagement ring setting. The prongs position the center diamond to catch the most light. A four-prong setting shows a bit more diamond, while a six-prong setting offers a slight security advantage.

Settings with Side Stones

A setting with diamonds or gemstones adds additional sparkle or color. Channel settings protect side stones from abrasions by keeping them flush. The bar-channel setting allows more light to enter the side stones, and creates a scalloped edge of brilliance.

Three-Stone Settings

For a classic ring that's truly unique and created by you, choose all three diamonds to be set in a three-stone setting. The three-stone ring has one diamond for the past, one for the present, and one for the future. How do you choose a ring she'll love without her knowing? How do you know if she'll like the ring if she doesn't pick it out? If you consider her tastes and lifestyle, you'll be sure to make the right choice. 1. Take a good look at the color of jewelry your partner wears. What color is the metal? 2. Ask her friends or mother if she has mentioned a preference for a particular type or style of ring. 3. Is she very active or not used to wearing jewelry? If so, consider a cathedral or contour setting, which will protect a diamond from rough treatment.
