Discover Which Diamond Engagement Rings She'll Love

Diamond engagement rings have been given to brides-to-be traditionally since the year 1477. Maximilian is the first man that has been recorded as using the mystery and brilliance of a diamond ring to help him ask for his love’s hand in marriage.

He wanted to impress his future father in law and apparently using a diamond ring worked. History states that Maximilian married his lovely bride within the next 24 hours after his proposal.

In those days only an elite few could afford to buy diamond rings. Men that used diamond engagement rings to ask for a woman’s hand in marriage were looked upon with respect and envy. Having the ability to afford a diamond ring sent a message to the public that this man was powerful and privileged and had a lot to offer this lucky woman.

The tradition has held strong into today’s culture. When a man proposes to a woman, the majority of the time he’ll present her with a beautiful diamond ring. When shopping for a ring many men are confused as to what ring to buy. When you start shopping for a diamond engagement ring it may be overwhelming so it’s a good idea to have some styles in mind before you start.

Finding out which style of diamond rings she likes is the tricky part. Does she like solitaires, marquis, round, or square cut diamonds? Would she like diamonds to be flush with the ring or does she want a humongous rock that everyone will notice?

If your proposal isn’t a surprise, go ahead and ask her. If it is a surprise then you’ll have to do some investigative work. Next time you’re in the mall together wander over near a jewelry counter and casually point out some rings to her. Then start a conversation about what she likes. Or just keep your eye on her and see what section she wanders over to. You can always return to the store later and look in that section to see which diamond engagement rings she was eyeing.

Take a look in her jewelry box. By looking at the other jewelry she owns you’ll get a good idea of what kind of ring she would like best. If she doesn’t wear a lot of jewelry she might like something a little smaller or simpler; maybe something that will not feel heavy on her finger or get in her way when she’s working.
If you need a little more help picking out which diamond engagement ring to buy for the woman you love, employ the help of friends and family.
