3. Before selecting your ring properly think about the
four basic features- the metal, the collection, the
stone and the fit.
4. The Metal- What are the precious metal that is ideal for that
special finger? Surely you have something in your mind. Go
with your passion. But first check your budget and plan
accordingly.
5. The collection- Do you like to explore the precious jewelry collection
when it is a question to impress our loved one? Actually, who don't?
Silly question. Go for it. But, once again, check your budget first.
6. The Stone- Next it is the question of choosing the right stone for it.
What do you want to surprise her? A Sapphire, Emerald or a Diamond?
The options here are endless. Let's check one by one.
8. Sapphire: Just check the royal example. Father and son both
proposed with the same one. In 1981, Prince of Wales, Charles
proposed to Lady Diana with an oval-shaped blue sapphire
surrounded by a halo of tiny solitaire diamonds on a white gold band
which she chose herself.

10. Back to 2010. Duke of
Cambridge, Prince William,
proposed his Duchess-to-be
with the same ring. The son
keeps the memory of his
mother alive through this. A
timeless beauty.
12. Emerald
Emerald: After United Kingdom, its USA. This time, John F.
Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier with a Van Cleef &
Arpels ring with a stunning 2.84-carat emerald beside a 2.88-carat
diamond with a spectacular diamond open-halo setting. The date
and venue? It was back in 1953, on June 24th at a restaurant in
Boston.

14. Diamond
Diamond: This time you can
consider the example of a
famous lady who had eight
such rings. Yes, it is
Elizabeth Taylor, who
married eight times in her
lifetime. But what was her
most precious engagement
ring? That was from her
third marriage with Mike
Todd, the film, and theater
producer. Todd proposed
her with a 29.4-carat
emerald cut diamond and
had referred to it as
Elizabeth Taylor's "ice
skating rink."

16. But that'a big story. When you want a diamond ring to propose
her don't forget to check the 4c's. The 4cs of a diamond are
cut, carat, clarity, and color. Check them like an exam paper.
17. The Fit
Whatever be the metal and stone of your ring it must be a
perfect fit because everything depends on the fittings of the
ring.
