Consider emerald cut diamond engagement ring if she has a taste of the highest class and desires bold look.

Is she has fun loving, lively and colorful personality?

In this case, you can contemplate colored diamond engagement rings. Also look around for diamond alternative engagement rings to choose from.

In fact, you can have diamond and gemstone engagement ring to have a fusion of diamonds' sparkle and gemstones' burst of color.  Emerald green is the color of this season, so you can also consider diamond and emerald engagement ring.

Is she a keen observer and notices finer details?

I’m sure your effort won’t go unnoticed if you go for an engraved engagement ring. Engrave something personal that you both share. Any personal message - could be the day or place you met - that only you both share.

Also, think about engagement ring setting. If she has a active style of living and her work involves working extensively with hands, go for engagement ring in bezel setting. Having knowledge of jewelry settings will allow you to make the right choice. She will be pleasantly surprised to see the effort you have put in buying her engagement ring.

Working on limited budget?

If you are on limited budget and want an affordable engagement ring, you have the wonderful option of cubic zirconia engagement rings and moissanite engagement rings. These inexpensive engagement rings can give you many options to choose from.

Don’t give her any false impression, just explain her about diamond simulants. I’m sure she will understand, and love you more for being honest and straightforward. Due to rise in price of gold and diamonds, lot of people are opting for simulated diamond jewelry.

Can’t place her in any of the above categories?

I understand she is fun loving and classic yet likes bold pieces and totally romantic too. Oh please! Don’t get confuse while choosing the best engagement ring for her. You love her unconditionally and after all Valentine Day is all about love and bonding.

A beautiful engagement ring will show your love to her but it’s your feelings and sentiments that will finally make her say Yes! So, select the engagement ring that your heart expresses, apart from what’s in trend.

So, this valentine don’t shy away, express your love and make her yours forever. All the Best! :)
