Establish a budget
Engagement rings come in a wide range of prices and are primarily based on the value of the center diamond, so it's essential to establish a budget that aligns with your overall situation. Remember that the value of the ring is not determined exclusively by its price. Focus on finding a ring that symbolizes your love and commitment within your budget.The 4 Cs
Diamond grading is based on four key characteristics, known as the "4Cs": Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat.
The cut (Cut) determines the brilliance and shape of the diamond, while clarity (Clarity) determines whether a stone has inclusions or not. The color gradations (Color) range from colorless to light yellow. Carat weight (Carat) indicates the size of the diamond. Understanding these factors will help you make an informed decision when choosing a diamond.

Select a setting.
The engagement ring setting holds the diamond in place and adds to its visual appeal. The most common settings are the solitaire, sunburst, pavé and three-stone (Trilogy) settings.
The solitaire setting.

Halo setting.

In a Halo or sunburst setting, the central diamond is surrounded by a circle or "halo" of smaller diamonds or gems.
The halo enhances the appearance of the central stone, making it appear larger and more radiant.
This setting adds sparkle and charm to the ring, creating a dazzling effect that captures attention.
Pavé setting.
Pave settings feature small diamonds set closely together along the band of the ring, creating a "pavé" effect.
The pave settings add texture and dimension to the ring, giving it a luxurious and glamorous look.
Three stone setting.
As the name suggests, a three-stone setting features three diamonds set next to each other on the ring band.
Three-stone settings are rich in symbolism and meaning, making them a popular choice for engagement rings and anniversary bands.
