Published on 19/08/08

People shopping for a diamond engagement ring should look into what type best suits their partner or themselves before heading out to make a purchase, it has been suggested.

Firstly, a budget should be set for the ring, Corsavoo.com suggests. Secondly, the diamond colour may be important, although engagement rings are traditionally clear stones.

The article then states: "You should know jewellery information before you begin shopping to make sure you find the best fine jewellery for your marriage partner so that it aptly displays your love and romance."

This includes considering the best cut to display the diamond. At this stage, it is wise to view a variety of options.

Brilliant cut diamond rings account for around three-quarters of the rings sold today, while princess cut diamond rings are becoming more popular for those people popping the question, according to the Diamond Buying Guide.

Meanwhile, pear-shaped diamonds are said to suit people with small fingers thanks to their flattering shape.
