Once you have decided on a diamond for your wedding ring, learn about the different settings that your diamond can be placed. The most common settings for diamond engagement rings include the Solitaire, the Cathedral setting, the Prong setting, the Channel setting, and the Bar setting. Engagement rings should reflect a woman's style, so be sure that the setting not only matches the diamonds in it, but the woman wearing it.

Diamond Engagement Ring Tip #3

The metals most commonly used for wedding bands are: gold, white gold, platinum, and titanium. The metal you choose should be determined by its wearability as much as by price. Platinum and titanium wedding bands are becoming more popular (and are more durable than gold), but gold wedding rings can be found at a better price. BE SURE that whatever band you choose looks good with the diamonds (and setting) you select for your ring!
