For a woman her most valued possession is usually her engagement ring and wedding band. Due to the fact that women wear these rings every day of their married life they want something that looks beautiful on their finger and makes a statement. Engagement rings do not have to be huge, some women want small diamonds while other want large ones. It’s really a matter of the personality of the woman and what works for her. For instance if she uses her hands a lot for work she might want a diamond that is smaller because she will be less likely to get it caught on things and damage it. Whatever the circumstances may be these eight sites listed below can help any man (or couple) find a ring that signifies the love in their life.
The first step in finding a ring is knowing something about diamonds. Diamonds come in at least ten different shapes and a multitude of sizes and settings. At first this can seem overwhelming. The people at A Diamond Is Forever have designed many helpful tools for learning about diamonds. Their guides for the 4 c’s of Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat will be useful to any novice. In addition this site provides a link to find reputable jewelers in an area. This can be done by calling the American Gem Society of visiting the Jewelers of America Online Retail Locator. In taking the time to educate yourself on diamonds you will be better prepared for shopping. Jewelers tend to be more helpful to customers who are somewhat educated on the diamond market.
