Pear Shaped Engagement Rings - Tips for Choosing and Buying

If you're shopping for pear shaped engagement rings, you probably know that this will be no small task.

Do you choose a larger, less perfect diamond, or should you opt for a perfect, smaller diamond?

Do you know how much you're going to need to spend to be able to buy her the diamond of her dreams? Do you really know what it is that she wants?

It's likely that your girlfriend has been dropping hints for some time, and if you're sure she wants a diamond and you're ready to give it to her, now might be the time to start paying closer attention to some of the smaller details.

1. Do you know that she wants a pear shaped engagement ring? Sometimes, women will leave pictures of the rings they really like laying around. When she doesn't know you're looking, memorize the details of these rings and get a good idea of what she thinks is beautiful.
   
   
2. Set a budget. How much can you afford to spend on a ring and can you really save up to get the pear shaped engagement ring she wants? Being spontaneous isn't a good idea unless you're certain that you have the funds available to pay for that shiny bauble that proclaims your love right now. Instead, start saving for a while and then get to the shopping. A good way to get an idea of how much you will need is to shop online for diamonds that you think will cost about what you're looking to spend. Consider going to a website that will let you build your own ring, so you can choose the diamond and setting and get a good idea of how much you will be spending.
   
   
3. When you're ready to shop, you should choose a place to purchase your pear shaped engagement ring. Consider a good jeweler who will help you to design the pear shaped engagement ring of her dreams.
   
   
4. Familiarize yourself with what you should be looking for in a diamond. Color, cut and clarity are the guidelines and you'll have to know about the quality of the diamond you're planning to purchase. For instance, the cut of a diamond can make all the difference, and that's not the shape. So, look for something that is ideal, very good or good to increase the amount of sparkle the ring will offer. This will force the cost of the diamond up, but it will also make it more noticeable.
   
   
5. Are you more about quality or quantity? Sometimes, even though we want to give the woman of our dreams a really big diamond, but we find we are forced to choose between size and beauty. Sure, you can get a really big diamond for a really good price, but how will it look in the long run? Sometimes, choosing a smaller diamond that is higher in quality can be well worth the investment.
   
   
6. What else do you want her pear shaped engagement ring to say? Are you planning to have it engraved or specially made? When you're ready, consider sitting down with a good jeweler who can help you to custom design a ring that will be made just for her.

By working to make sure that you have the pear shaped engagement ring down to a science, you can ensure that you get her the ring of her dreams and don't get a bad piece of jewelry in the process. Take your time, educate yourself and set a budget to meet your needs, and you're off to a really good start.
