You are preparing to ask your special someone to marry you, but you need a ring. With so many options out there, where do you start? First, you may need to know a little about diamond engagement rings in Colorado Springs and elsewhere. Also, it will help to know what your significant other likes.
Even with just the band there are numerous choices. Gold and white gold, silver, platinum and titanium are the most popular choices. If your bride to be is a traditional kind of girl, gold or silver may be your choice. If she has a metal allergy, platinum should be your choice because it is hypoallergenic. Then, select the type of setting you want to hold those precious gems. A solitaire band holds one stone of whatever carat you choose. An accent setting is a band that has a center gem with smaller stones inlaid down the sides of the band. Then there is the three stone setting in which you will have a larger stone in the middle with a slightly smaller stone on each side of the centerpiece. Finally, halo and fancy are similar, but halo is a single band with a center stone surrounded on all sides by smaller gems and inlaid down the band as well whereas the fancy is a double band but otherwise the same inlays.
Lastly, you need to choose your stones and their cuts. There is the teardrop or pear-shaped diamond, princess or square cut, baguette or rectangular shape, marquise or football shaped, and the traditional round or oval. Clarity and carat size will also play a part in selecting diamond engagement rings in Colorado Springs. Also, you may want to think about something a little unique such as selecting sapphires, rubies or emeralds for the smaller stones inlaid in the band. If your bride to be favors a special precious gem, select that for the accent gems.
Find out what your significant other prefers, do a little research on the different choices out there and find a local jeweler that specializes in custom made jewelry. They may have something special that will catch your eye, but if not, they can custom make a ring for a one of a kind bride!
