Engagement Ring Choices

We often get asked "what are the most popular engagement rings"?.
The purchase of a diamond engagement rings is such a personal choice with many factors to consider.
The choice of metal from white gold, platinum, yellow gold and palladium being the main options - people have different views on each of these metals but most popular so far in 2013 is white gold followed by platinum.
In relation to the diamond there are many factors including the diamond shape, the size of the diamond, diamond certificate, diamond colour and the engagement ring style (contempory or vintage or classic).
While people have their preferred style the most popular would be 0.75 carats to 1.0 carats round cut diamond with no certificate in a classic four or six claw setting

Antique engagement ring

Many people also opt for sapphire or coloured stone gems which are increasingly popular.
Vintage antique engagement rings are also a popular choice.

The main advice I would have would be to buy a nice engagement ring you will be proud to wear for the rest of you life and do your research before you purchase.
