As a token of everlasting love, your engagement ring has to be totally perfect and unique to both of you. After all, the diamond you choose will take you through life until your Diamond Wedding Anniversary and beyond, when hopefully, we'll see you at 'Monroe Yorke Diamonds' again.

Received thought is that an engagement ring will cost the purchaser about one month's salary. Research indicates that this probably true with a percentage raising the stakes to two months salary and beyond.

This is a substantial outlay in anyone's language and so the decision must be one that you are both completely happy with. Also, you must be confident that you have done your homework and that you are both up to speed on your knowledge of diamonds.

Step 1

Read the articles on the Monroe Yorke Diamonds website.

The articles are there to help you and to give you at least a background knowledge of the kind of diamond you should choose and why. Ensure you read the article about the 4C's grading principles and the importance that they have in the buying of your ring and the article on conflict free diamonds which will ensure that your diamond has not been sourced from those areas of conflict being supported by diamond sales.

Step 2

Decide how much you want to pay.

As with most large purchases you should be comfortable with the amount you spend on the diamond. If you've done your homework and read the GIA Diamond Grading report unique to your diamond you can be sure that you will receive value for money. In time, your fiancée's ring will increase in value. If you've chosen well, you can't go wrong with a diamond.

Step 3

Let her own good taste guide you.

Solitaires account for 76% of all purchases of diamond rings. When you begin to look for the perfect ring take her own taste into account. She may prefer a ring styled in a classic design or perhaps she is a women who prefers a traditional or more flamboyant design. The ring should reflect your excellent taste in choosing her for your future wife and her individual taste in jewellery style.
