The most popular engagement rings are the diamond solitaire rings. The term solitaire indicates the ring has a single diamond rather than a cluster of diamonds or side stones. The attraction of diamond solitaire rings is that they display the diamond to its fullest and draw all attention to the beauty of the stone.
It is generally better to purchase the diamond separately from the solitaire ring setting in order to ensure getting the highest quality diamond solitaire rings for the best price and the right size and quality that will make you a hero.
The first step in shopping for the right diamond solitaire ring is to determine what shape of diamond the girlfriend really wants. This can be a sizable challenge if the plan is to keep the ring a total surprise. It is important to keep in mind that even if you want to surprise your girlfriend, you don’t want to make the expensive mistake of buying the one diamond shape she really does not like. It pays to ask some probing questions, do a little shopping together in jewelry stores or talk to her friends; anything you can to get some sense of what she really likes or at least what she really hates. Just because you like a certain diamond shape for diamond solitaire rings, does not mean she shares your views. Chances are she would not pick the same TV, stereo, golf clubs or fishing gear you would so why do you think you would pick the same diamond solitaire rings she would?
