Buying A 3 Stone Engagement Ring For The Special Moment Is The Perfect Choice

Surprising the woman you love with a beautiful 3 stone engagement ring is a moment you both will remember for many years. It is perhaps the hardest decision you will have to make.

It's not whether to marry her or not, that's obvious. She is everything you have ever dreamt about. She is your best friend, soul-mate and your lover, she laughs at your jokes even when they are not funny.

She always makes you feel better when you are feeling down and she keeps your feet on the ground when your head starts to drift into the clouds. So marrying her is a given, but the toughest decision to make is which ring to buy. Will you choose the elegance of a 3 stone engagement ring or are still thinking of other designs?

Should You Select a 3 Stone Engagement Ring or Some Other Style?

Buying an engagement ring can be a very difficult decision. You want to try to surprise her but you want to know what she likes without having her actually pick out the ring. So how do you decide which ring is the right one? You may also be faced with how much ring is enough and how much is too much. If you are like most people, your budget is going to be an issue. It's common to budget one to three months salary but you don't want to overextend yourself. People often think a 3 stone engagement ring is a lot more expensive but are surprised to find out there is one for every budget.

What makes the 3 stone engagement ring so popular?

* It is a very rich, classic and elegant look. Your fiance will love the look.

* The side stones can both highlight and draw attention to a larger center stone and also make a smaller stone seem larger with more brilliance.

* The additional sparkling draws added attention to the overall beauty of the ring.

* Adding stones allows for more flexibility and personalization of the design. There is also the added meaning behind the three stones, which represent the past, the present, the future and the true nature of love.

In order to figure out which ring to buy, you can take her shopping, with you. Obviously, she will know what you are up to, but if you both are ready for this step of your relationship, then chances are you have discussed engagement. However, if you want it to be a total surprise then you may be able to ask her friends or her mother about which ring to buy.

If you think you need some help in choosing the ring, you want to be sure the person who helps you will keep your secret. Some potential grooms will confide in her parents when he asks for her hand in marriage. Some may think it a bit old fashioned but a lot of grooms to be are still asking them, especially if he is close with either parent.

When determining the ring that you should buy, you should base it on her personality. Pay attention to any other jewelry that she may have. Is most of her jewelry single stones or do they have clusters or groups of stones? Is she a bit more reserved and conservative or a real fashion trend setter? The 3 stone engagement ring style can be a perfect choice for her.

Once you decide the 3 stone ring design is the right choice, you'll still have several decisions to make, such as the kind of band. You can select between a yellow gold, white gold or platinum band. When choosing a diamond, you don't need to be a jewelry expert but it is important to understand the 4 C's of diamond grading. You will need to select the cut of the stone, the clarity, the color and the carat of the ring.

The carat is the actual size of the diamond by weight; typically the overall carat weight is how the ring will be rated. The cut pertains the shape of the stone, and the clarity is the rating of how clear the diamond is and the color is the amount of yellow shading in the ring.

The most important factor is often overlooked. Does she like the ring and is it a gesture of love from the bottom of your heart? When you give it to her, tell her the meaning of the three stones and how they represent the past, the present and the future of your love and relationship.

With your heart into the ring and your proposal, many rings will be a good match but there is no no doubt that the 3 stone engagement ring will light up her eyes and her heart.
