Have you found the one you are interested in doing life with and are about to ask them to go on this journey with you? There's no need to be tense about finding the right diamond ring for the occasion. We've put together an extensive guide to help you choose the perfect diamond ring.
How do you pick a diamond ring for the proposal?
It's easy to get caught up in the moment when faced with a variety of amazing diamond ring options. Nevertheless, you can still make the right choice if you follow the tips we are about to discuss below.
Find out what your partner wants
While a proposal may make her feel special and excited, it is only fair that you do everything right, including getting a ring that she truly loves. If you are planning a surprise proposal for her, finding out what she wants might be tricky. In this case, you have to be very strategic in asking her or better yet, ask her friends and family to help by subtly getting the information out of her.
Rings may not seem like a very important topic to discuss with your partner, but there's no harm in having an honest conversation about it. Ask her what kind of ring she would like and if possible, check out various jewelry stores online together and see what gets her attention. Also, you need to consider her style, daily lifestyle, and the type of jewelry she's mostly interested in. At the end of it all, ensure to consider your partners' comfort when selecting the ring.
Get familiar with the ring size guide- what is a good diamond size for engagement?
Knowing your partners' ring size is important because you don't want your special and perfectly planned proposal to be dented because the ring is too big or doesn't fit into her finger.So, shop for the ring together, or get her ring size either by asking her directly or indirectly. Once you know her ring size, it's time to choose the diamond size.
The average diamond weight for an engagement ring is between 1.00 and 1.2 carats. Note that the weightier it is, the more expensive it is, whether natural or lab-grown. So, don't get hung up on the size of the diamond; instead, consider your budget and what your partner will be comfortable with.
Diamond cut guide-Which stone is perfect for an impressive engagement ring?
Before we determine which diamond cut is perfect, let's first understand the difference between a diamond cut and shape. A diamond cut refers to how well a diamond is cut, proportioned, and polished to absorb and reflect light. The shape, on the other hand, refers to its silhouette.
Diamond cuts are classified into the following grade charts:
Excellent diamond-cut: This is the most expensive, and beautiful diamond cut because it reflects almost all the light that enters it and sparkles significantly.
Very good diamond cut: Only a professional can identify the difference between this, and the excellent diamond cut because it also reflects most of the light entering it.
Good diamond-cut: This is a budget-friendly option; it doesn't have as much brilliance and fire found in the first two above. Nevertheless, it still reflects a substantial amount of light and looks beautiful.
Fair diamond-cut: This will be ideal if you are on a budget but big on carat weight. Although, it reflects only a small portion of light and offers little brilliant. Better yet, it will be preferable to use a fair diamond cut as side stones.
Poor diamond-cut: This has no brilliance, sparkles, or fire as any light that enters into it escapes through the bottom and side.
The engagement ring guide: What is the best ring to propose?
As we discussed earlier, the type of ring you propose depends on the information you have found out about your partners' preference. It doesn't matter if it's lab-grown, man-made, or natural. You need to be more concerned about things like size, carat weight and color: if she would like a yellow, white, or rose color ring.
However, the core elements of an engagement ring design center on the following:
Band material - This is mainly metal such as white, yellow, or rose gold, silver, platinum, and mixed metal.
Ring style - The different styles include Asymmetrical, symmetrical, modern, traditional,
Shape - Round, Princess, Cushion, Emerald, Pear, Oval, Radiant, Baguette, Asscher, heart, and Marquise.

Go ready for a successful moment
Now that you know how to get the perfect diamond ring for your proposal, it's time to get ready for the big day. Here are some factors you need to put in place to ensure that all your effort does not go down the drain.
Start your plan asap
Don’t miss the most important part of the secret proposal: a lab-grown diamond engagement ring made of your hair or both of your hair. Customize it as soon as possible with your Sunny Eden professional consultant. Schedule it ahead of time and make the perfect surprise.
If you need to seek the blessings of her parents or anyone she holds in high esteem, do it. It will make her feel loved, respected, and valued. Consider her personality and use it as an advantage to plan the proposal. If she is introverted or likes to keep her private life out of the prying eyes of the public, it's only fair that you respect this and plan an intimate proposal. If she is an extrovert, something public might send her over the moon. However, ensure that both of you are on the same page about the future and marriage before pulling a private or public proposal on her.
Outline your schedule and budget
Create a schedule to find the right proposal venue, décor, a professional photographer, etc. Also, make a budget for the proposal and not just the ring. Planning and organizing won't be a hassle with a budget in place.
Edit/proofread your proposal
Saying words straight from your heart is not a bad idea, but you may get so caught up in the moment and end up forgetting just what you've rehearsed. To avoid this, it is only right that you write down those heartfelt words you want to say to her. And do not forget to incorporate what you find fascinating about her into it.
Be confident with love
Practice the entire scenario in front of the mirror, your friends, and your family as much as possible before D-day. You are in love with this person and want to spend the rest of your life with her; it's okay to feel a little tense, but don't forget to pop the question confidently with love.
In conclusion, finding the perfect diamond ring for a special proposal isn't the hardest task so far because once you have the necessary information beforehand, you will know what to look for and where to look for it. Better yet, wouldn't it be lovely if you could get it customized to add some significance and make your partner feel special. You do not have to break the bank to get her a diamond ring; as long as you have a budget, you will find just the right ring that fits.
