Most men are completely out of their depth when it comes to choosing rings. They know a few things. They know that engagement rings are smaller than wedding rings and they know that most bands are made of gold and the stone of choice and tradition is usually a diamond. Beyond that, though, they are clueless.

Men are very often let off the hook today because it is acceptable for them to take their fiance into the jewelry store to choose rings with them. Still, don’t underestimate the power of knowledge. She will be touched and impressed if you know some of the most important styles of rings.

When you walk in the store, keep an eye out for the rings that feature a single large diamond that looks a little bit like a lethal weapon. It’s easy to remember the name of these rings. They are solitaire engagement rings. Think of the card game you play alone when you’re bored. Remember that and impress your fiance with your technical terminology.

Another one that’s pretty easy to remember is the eternity ring. These rings are completely surrounded by a string of diamonds. Because the circle is complete, they symbolize eternity.

Eternity rings can be hideously expensive because of the numbers of diamonds on them. Mercifully, the people who design and manufacture rings have come up with a solution that is cheaper but retains the symbolism of everlasting love. These are trilogy rings. They are called this because they have only three diamonds, representing past, present and future.

All women want to feel like princesses, so if you’re out shopping on your own and want to be sure she’ll love your choice of ring, take a look at some princess cut engagement rings. They’re easy to spot. They are cut square. These rings are very elegant looking and it’s almost a sure thing that if you buy her one, she will love it forever and by extension, you. If you’re looking for a ‘yes’ answer, get her one of these.

If you want to really dazzle her with your expertise, you will have to learn some diamond terminology. You’ll need to read up on things like the cut, the color, the depth and the clarity of diamonds and how they are graded. Don’t worry too much, though. If you just utter the words, the sales staff will take over for you and make you look good.

If you memorize these few things, you should be alright. She doesn’t really expect you to know anything and will be flattered and impressed that you have taken the time to learn. Even if you mess it up, she’ll appreciate it that you cared for her enough to try.
