Selecting an Engagement Ring
For time immemorial, the diamond has been the ultimate symbol of romance and love, and the ring, a symbol of fidelity, constancy and commitment. The ancient Romans believed that the fourth finger of the left hand was a direct conduit to the heart itself. But purchasing an engagement ring is part of a much larger decision that goes beyond legend and tradition.

STEP 2: DO YOUR DIAMOND HOMEWORK The first place most people start when shopping for a diamond, is with the The 4 C's ? Cut, Color, Clarity & Carat. This will help you to determine which traits are most important to you, and to find a balance between them which suits your needs. But however important the 4Cs are remember beauty is the only arbiter.
STEP 3: CHOOSE A SHAPE The shape of a diamond refers to the outward appearance of the diamond, not the ?Cut?. Diamond shapes are as varied as people. Whichever one you choose speaks to your own individuality and fashion.
