So, what is the obvious solution? There is no easy solution. You can't go wrong when choosing an engagement ring since it is, like any other meaningful jewelry, a reflection of you and your history.
With your individual situation in mind, we've collected some guidelines to help you choose the perfect carat weight for The Ring...
SUCH AS, WHAT IS A CARAT?
The foundational principles must be addressed first. Diamond weight is measured in carats. There are 200 milligrams in one carat. That's one-fifth of a gram. A diamond's carat weight is often used as a proxy for its size, but there are other elements at play, such as the diamond's cut, that might affect its carat weight.
RESPECT YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN
DISREGARD ADVICE FROM OTHERS AS TO HOW MUCH MONEY YOU SHOULD BE SPENDING.
The idea that larger is better is pervasive and simple to accept. To such outmoded regulation, we retort, "Says who?" The Oval Cut In Diamonds
If you're shopping for an engagement ring, your budget will dictate the size of the diamond you can afford. Don't listen to those who say that throwing money about is the only way to show you care. You should be trustworthy with yourself, set a reasonable boundary that you won't feel compelled to beyond. This will provide you and your jeweler a solid starting point as you look into other alternatives, and a reputable jeweler will be happy to walk you through the pros and cons of various designs that are complementary to your starting point.
Keep in mind that a diamond's cut, clarity, and color gradings in addition to its carat weight all contribute to its appeal and, in turn, its price. The source of a diamond is often the fifth consideration in determining its price in the context of ethical engagement rings. In this case, the price of a recycled diamond of the same weight as a diamond with a known origin—in this case, Canada—would be around 15% lower. It's possible that the history behind your diamond will have more value than its carat weight. The same holds true if size really matters: adopting the recycled route is a great way to stretch your dollar farther.
The size and shape of her hands are important details to consider.
It's true that every person is cut from a different diamond.
How is it going to appear on their hand should be at the heart of every imaginative choice you make when selecting an engagement ring. Each person's hands represent their own genetic makeup as well as their life's worth of memories, emotions, and accomplishments. Each pair of hands is unique.
They don't need a huge diamond if theirs are delicate. While a diamond with a carat weight of 0.2 ct. to 0.3 ct. will always appear demure in any setting, you could be pleasantly surprised by the impact achieved by a smaller diamond with a carat weight of 0.4 ct. to 0.6 ct. To the contrary, broader fingers tend to look their finest in larger, more opulent sparklers, often between 0.8 and 1.5 carats in size. Assuming your intended is aware of your intentions to propose, scheduling a couple of jewelry consultations ahead of time will give them a chance to try on a variety of rings and see what looks best on their finger.

Consider the fact that everyday people wear engagement rings.
Are they an active, physically involved person? Do they do physical labor as part of their day job? Do they like to play sports or work in the yard in their spare time? If they answered yes to any of these questions, it's possible that their engagement ring may need to be functional as well as beautiful. Diamonds, fortunately, are very difficult to shatter since they are the hardest naturally occurring material on Earth. It's a bit of a stretch to claim they're completely safe, however. If a large, flashy rock is what they have their hearts set on, a sleek rub-over setting that encases the centerpiece in a sealed dome may be the way to go to prevent accidental damage.
In this article, you will get some basic knowledge regarding diamond mountings.
FIND THE MOST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY
In MANY CASES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO MORE WITH LESS
Even if you can't afford an engagement ring in the heavyweight class, there are still plenty of creative methods to make it seem like you've gotten your money's worth and more.
Those who find the conventionally white and transparent ideal of excellence unappealing may find more satisfaction in trying out alternatives that are deemed less "desirable." Heavily included diamonds, such as salt and pepper diamonds, may have a poor clarity rating yet make for an interesting piece of jewelry because of its unique look and personality. Diamonds with yellow or brown undertones are given a low rating on the color scale, although they look stunning next to warm skin tones or when set in yellow or rose gold. The profusion of these stones goes hand in hand with their 'imperfections,' which make them considerably cheaper than high-grade diamonds due to their rarity and quality. The possibilities for stone size and cut are thrown wide open at this price point.
If you want your diamond to shine brightest possible, the halo setting may be just what you're looking for. The halo is a nimbus of smaller diamonds that surrounds a larger diamond to produce an enlarged optical effect, greatly enhancing the center stone without breaking the bank.
When compared to their brilliantly brilliant diamond counterparts, white sapphires have a far lower refractive index. However, their durability and colorlessness make them an excellent replacement, and their relative cost makes huge sizes and elaborate cutting much more accessible. Choosing a fair-traded white sapphire may be the better option if you'd rather have a bold statement than dazzling flashes of light.
