While an engagement is, first of all, an emotional occasion, a good part that goes into it is its physical manifestation, represented in the biggest part by the engagement ring. This is something one must search a lot, as it is one of the most important pieces of jewelry you’ll buy.
If you want to make a really special purchase, you can go for a diamond ring, as there are few things that are so strongly attached to the idea of elegance, style and luxury. However, even with diamond rings, there are so many options to choose from out there, given that the market is so diverse, but to narrow it down, you should definitely check out diamond ring prices, as this will narrow down the number of options to choose from, which will be easier for you to decide.
Once you got your budget down, you can begin to look for options to pick from.
Here are five suggestions that will help you with your decision.

A platinum diamond ring
Diamonds are set in platinum because platinum loses little metal to everyday wear. Platinum offers a very secure setting for diamonds which means that the parts of the ring won’t become thin over time. In this sense, a diamond set in platinum is a symbol of a strong, everlasting bond.
An infinity ring
Infinity rings are highly popular when it comes to engagement rings because of their clear-as-day symbolism. The simple infinity design is loved by many and is an effective thing. Surely, some people see it as too obvious, so if you are considering this design, you should really think of whether it works for your partner and you. Infinity rings are a popular choice, but they are not for everyone.
The huge rock ring
Some people just love to wear a huge diamond on their finger. And, you can’t blame them; it is a rather good look on most people. The trick about wearing such huge jewelry though is that you should make sure you don’t do it for others. Big rocks are going to be noticed by a lot of people, but in the end, your engagement should be about you and not what others think. So, if you are going to go for the huge rock (which we encourage), make sure you do it for the right reasons!
An engraved ring
Those who like to keep it simple can go for a subtle design that they customize with an inscription. The text can be something personal and intimate or something more general, such as the date of the engagement. Many couples these days like to wear matching engagement rings, so an identical inscription on two different models could be the red string you’re looking for.
A simple band with small rocks
Sometimes, the best way to go is simplicity. If you don’t want to do anything that feels forced or exaggerated, you can always opt for the classic but very elegant and effective choice of a simple ring with small rocks. A simple gold or silver ring with a touch of bling can really go a long, long way. And, it will be definitely something much appreciated as well.
In the end, whichever type of ring you may choose, it is important that you and your future spouse are happy with it. An engagement ring is a symbol that is very personal and that must reflect a bond and your intentions.
