Diamond Engagement Rings: Diamond Cuts

When it comes to shopping for diamond engagement rings, there is no better way to make a good decision than by educating yourself on the subject matter. Not only will you learn a lot of interesting facts about diamonds in the process, you will also be able to purchase a ring confidently, knowing your lady will love it forever. Her taste is the only taste that matters in this process so make sure you are familiar with her style in jewelry. First things first, though, learn about all of the diamond cuts so when she does talk about them, you will not be lost!

With so many different shapes to choose from, it can get a little overwhelming for the purchaser of the diamond engagement ring. The cut of the diamond will largely determine the overall appearance of the ring so let's get to discussing which is which! The marquis cut is an oval with pointed ends. This style is splendid and some would call it vintage.  The cushion cut is a cross between two shapes: rectangle and oval and is shaped like a pillow.

Diamond Engagement Rings: Different is Okay

Your three stone diamond engagement ring will be a spectacle people will notice all the way across the room. If your lady does not mind a little attention then this could be the most perfect ring for her to wear for the rest of her life. This will be stunning because there is not just one, but instead, there are three stones on showcase. She will love the bling and you will come off as a loving man who gives his wife whatever her little heart desires. 

 

Solitaire diamond engagement rings can be just as much of a spectacle as their three stone counterparts. Sometimes less is more. You have all heard that saying and if you have seen a stunning solitaire diamond ring then you know this statement to be very true! Some women just need one large stone instead of three decent sized stones. It all boils down to her taste and it really is that simple. There is no “right” answer or ring when it comes to diamond engagement rings. What matters most is that you have each other and are willing to do whatever it takes to enjoy one another forever and then some.

Diamond Engagement Rings: Do You Really Like It?

When it comes to diamond engagement rings, every girl wants the biggest and shiniest one. Although this may not always be possible, it never hurts to dream! Having a clear idea of what you want is usually a good thing in life, but if you are too picky when it comes to this particular item, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment. You must remain flexible and also focused on what is really important: you are marrying the man of your dreams and as long as it is him at the end of the altar, nothing else really matters.

Your man will probably have a hard time choosing this diamond engagement ring so let us not make it any more difficult for him. If you do not love the engagement ring he has chosen for you, it is probably best to just keep your mouth shut. You can always try to get another one on down the road, but he will be very hurt if you say you hate this ring. Of course, men should understand that women are picky about their jewelry so this is definitely one of those things where you should talk about everything long before you even become engaged.

Diamond Wedding Bands and Wedding Etiquette in 2015

We live in a day and age where social media dictates many things. There are not too many people who do not have a Facebook and Twitter account. With this new way of thought comes new etiquette that dictates how you are supposed to act when you are getting married and when you are a guest at someone else's wedding. You certainly do not want to step on anyone's toes the day they exchange their magical diamond wedding bands, so make sure you pay attention.

If you are going to a wedding, make sure you wait to publicly congratulate them. If your sister has told you she just got engaged, do not immediately go to Facebook to congratulate her. Instead, wait until she has said something on Facebook. That means it is safe for you to discuss. It is NOT your place to tell people she is engaged. That is her responsibility, especially in the very beginning. Also, keep any wedding planning discussions to a private message. Not all of the friends on your friends list will be invited so it could breed some feelings of resentment for those who are not invited. Additionally, this is a very intimate event so the entire world does not need to know every single detail about the engagement ring and wedding plans. Be respectful of people's privacy.

Wedding Bands and Wedding Day Moments

Your wedding bands are the most precious gifts you could ever give another human being. Short of the family keepsake from your grandmother that has been handed down for many generations, your diamond wedding bands will be the single most important item you wear. And they should be worn at all times. No matter what you are doing (unless it involves hazardous chemicals), you should wear your wedding bands every single day with pride and cheer.

Planning your wedding will take a long time, but it will certainly be worth it. When he sees those doors open and you are dressed to the nines looking your absolute best, his eyes will radiate with love, affection and forever kind of feelings. Certainly you both have felt this way before, but there is just something about a white wedding dress that truly make these feelings hit home. Cherish these moments and do not forget to actually soak them in instead of letting them pass by as you stand there in shock. This entire day (and the week of your wedding) will seem to fly by so make sure you take a moment, even if it is just sneaking away from the ceremony with your husband for three minutes, to stop and smell the roses.
