Engagement rings can be customized in various ways. Everyone knows to pay attention to the four C’s when buying: cut, clarity, color, and carat. Clarity refers to the amount of blemishes in the diamond, color refers to the diamond’s grading system, and carat caters to so many couple’s favorite: size. Cut means the shape and finish of the stone.

When proposing, consider whether or not your special someone is going to love a round, princess, cushion, asscher, marquise, oval, radiant, pear, emerald, or heart cut. If she wants something a little more traditional, you might look at the first three cuts; if they have unique style, they may love the last cuts mentioned. Still stuck? It sometimes helps to ask your future fiancé’s friend or family members for advice.

Ask those who have gone through it before
This is just too big of a purchase not to get an opinion on. And even if you are a private person, ring shopping is the time to open your inner circle and invite in someone with experience. Ask previously engaged friends for great jeweler recommendations. You might even want to take that friend with you on your first ring shopping trip to help offer support and back up your opinions.
