Finding the Perfect Engagement Rings

There have been many going trends for elegant diamond engagement rings. This is quite evident in the many engagement ring crazes the world has seen the past few years.

Even celebrities have gotten into this frenzy of finding the perfect, most different, even the most massive engagement rings. Actually, celebrities won’t really settle for less, and why would they, not when they can very much afford anything. We see the likes of Kim Kardashian sporting a 20-carat engagement ring, from (now divorced) Kris Humphries. We have Angelina Jolie with her 18 carat from the ever-handsome Brad Pitt and many more celebrities who just won’t settle for less.

            These celebrities have actually set the bar quite high for us normal folk, much to our normal guys’ chagrin. Yes, there are girls, and quite a few in fact, who just won’t settle for a measly .5 carat and ask, no demand, for a whopping 3 carats or more. Whether they are round cut diamond engagement rings, verragio rings, tacori rings, cushion cut sapphires or princess cut rubies, girls want them big and very sparkly. So, if you’re on of those lucky (or unlucky, depends how you look at it) gentlemen who have future brides with very high standards, here are a few tips and tricks to help you out, or at least get you a decent priced diamond.

            Keep looking. This isn’t the time to just go to one shop and buy the one that you think is right, look around other shops, in fact, look around many. Chances are, there are shops that charge cheaper and give the same quality of rings.

            Scavenge. And no we don’t mean the trash. Look for heirlooms, perhaps something from your grandmother, or her grandmother, anyone’s grandmother. Heirloom pieces are not only special because of the sentimental value they hold, but they also mean that you won’t have to spend a dime. Maybe a few embellishments or a few readjustments and some polishing here and there, but the good thing is you won’t have to spend a big bulk of it. Which saves you a boatload of money? If your family has something you could probably use, get it, hide it, use it, before your younger brother gets any ideas.

We really hope you don’t get to that part of desperation. But what we can suggest is try looking for engagement rings online. The good thing about this is that there are tons on online stores who cater to engagement rings and diamonds, and the best part is that they come in really good prices. Well, for guys, maybe the best part does not have to physically get them. All of you have to do click a few buttons in the laptop and then you just pay and they have it sent to you. These three tips are what we found most useful especially when it came to finding good rings and good prices. Hey, it might have took a bit of hard work, but it was definitely worth it. Now you get to spend that extra cash on something else, like that flat screen you’ve been eyeing.
