One of the most important and memorable events in your life is the day you get engaged. This makes the ring also very important.


Before you go and spend all your hard earned money at your local jewelry store you might want to shop around a bit for a great quality engagement ring at a greatly reduced price. This can be done by designing your own engagement ring.

In order to do this you need to find a reputable wholesale dealer in quality GIA certified diamonds that also has the option to design engagement rings.

First of all you will need to choose your diamond by using the 4 Cs selection process. The best diamond to choose is one without color indicating the highest quality, the highest quality cut, the highest clarity and the largest carat.

After you selected your diamond it is now time to choose the setting. Here you need to look at how the stone will look in the setting. If you want the stone to have a flowing look about it then a channel setting might be your best choice. To highlight the stone in the ring with a tight grip you might want to select a prong setting.. A bezel setting will protect the stone better which can be used for princess cut diamonds.

Finally you need to choose the ring. Here you can get creative. Does your girlfriend like solitaire or maybe a 2 or 3 stone ring? Does she like white gold, platinum or maybe yellow gold? Platinum is very popular but it also costs more. I personally like white gold.

Finally you can add other personal touches such as etchings and other details to the ring.

The result is a home designed engagement ring that has a stone of the highest quality but a fraction of the cost that will be absolutely unique. You wife to be will adore it.
