Top 4 Mistakes Men Make When Buying Engagement Rings

You have found the woman of your dreams, but can you find the ring of her dreams? Read these common mistakes to make sure you are on the right track.

1)Not knowing her style. An engagement ring is not just a prop to use while on bended knee -- it is a treasure that she will wear forever! Quietly talk to her friends, or better yet, study her other jewelry. If she only wears silver earrings, chances are she won't want a yellow gold ring.

2)Not knowing her ring size. This one doesn't require psychic abilities or even outright questioning. Just sneak one of her rings and bring it to your jeweler. If you don't think you can get away with it, try it on your own finger and mark where it lands. Just make sure you are using one that goes on her ring finger, and not, say, her middle toe.

3)Going it alone. You have probably at least heard of the 4 C's of diamond buying -- Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat -- but did you know that there are hundreds of ways to combine these elements into the perfect diamond for your taste and budget? www.diamondsonfifth.comcan show you how to get the best "fire," or how to fit that Big Rock into your price range.

4)Scrimping on quality. Not only will your future bride wear her engagement ring her whole life, she will pass it on as an heirloom. Invest in her pride, and your shared joy. "Two months income is the usual advice," That rough guideline should get you a ring that will engage the eye, and then the soul. Forever." .
