1. The color is very important in the value of a diamond, but because the eye at first glance do not appreciate (as you yourself seem all the same), the more colorless, the more pure and valuable the stone is.
2. Purity is another factor to consider. Any crack and impurity, however small, detract from the piece, and your girlfriend does not want for nothing more than your best! Right?
3. The size of a diamond is the only feature that is closely related to the taste of every woman. Some prefer the type size "baguette", pear shaped or sized princess. This little detail will have to go to her best friend, unless the item has left any chance in your conversation with your girlfriend and she has hinted his preference ...
4. The weight. It is not the same for choosing a diamond solitaire for an alliance with five or seven pieces

The ring as a circular object, it has been since ancient symbol of unity and eternity. Has no beginning or end, has no corners or edges to form and share the Sun and other stars, which has given some very positive connotations. So they are two very powerful symbols that come together to shape the wedding ring, sealing the covenant marriage covenants.

In ancient times, when life was harder and shorter life expectancy, the husband held a ritual to ensure that the spirits of their women do not leave too soon. Tied ankles and wrists of women with ropes of grass with the aim of maintaining the spirit inside the body.

Over the years and the evolution of religious beliefs, the ropes were tied only to move a finger through the ring, which had all the symbolism mentioned above.

Roman used to deliver their boyfriends sponsalitius the annulus during the second century becomes gold as a more durable metal. So I had assumed that the union would be more permanent.

Such symbolism was slow to be accepted and incorporated into religious ritual of the Church, which occurred during the century V. The custom was widespread from the time between the Germanic peoples, and became a legislated their use among the Visigoths and Lombards.

Set your budget

How much should you spend? The old "three months’ salary" advice may be a useful starting point, but it’s not a hard-and-fast rule. You can spend less and still find a terrific ring, or you can spend more and splurge on size or quality. The only "correct" amount to spend is the amount that fits your budget. With our enormous inventory, Amazon can help you find a beautiful ring at any price point.

Know her style

The best way to find out what she likes is to ask her. Better yet, look at rings together. If you want the ring to be a total surprise, though, you’ll need to do a little sleuthing. Pay close attention to her style. Check out the jewelry she wears. Is it traditional? Romantic? Modern? Practical? Does she like showier pieces, or more subtle styles? What color of metal does she usually wear—white or yellow?

Don’t be afraid to enlist her friends and relatives to help. Ask her mom, her sister, or her best friend for advice (but first, make sure they can keep a secret).

Choose a diamond shape

We're talking overall geometry of the diamond here. By far, the most preferred diamond shape is round-brilliant. With its 360 degree symmetry, it gives off the most sparkle. Princess shapes are the second most popular choice, with their clean square lines, modern look, and beautiful sparkle. Other choices include the regal-looking marquise (which has the advantage of lengthening the finger), the classic emerald cut, and the radiant cut (a blend of emerald and round-brilliant). The oval diamond is an elongated variation of the popular round brilliant, while the asscher diamond resembles an emerald cut, but with a squared shape and unique blocked corners. Other fancy shapes, such as pear, heart, and cushion, round out the list of possibilities.
