After going out with my girlfriend for the past two years, I finally decided to pop the question – “Will you marry me?”  I honestly didn’t think that this day would ever come.  I mean, what actually wants to get married.  Okay, secretly, I knew that I would eventually get married, but I never really thought it would happen until I was forty. 

 

It’s been six years since I graduated from college, and now I started settling my career.  So, it’s the perfect time to start looking at engagement rings for my girlfriend and future fiance, Carla.  I can now afford to buy her a beautiful ring.  But what do I get?  There are so many styles to choose from!  That’s crazy.  Why do girls get so many options?  Guys only get a limited amount of choices in terms of fashion.  Maybe it’s because most guys are less picky.  Luckily, Carla isn’t that high maintenance, but I do know that she deserves the best.  But what do I get?  I should’ve taken notes when Carla would hint about marriage by telling me about what ring settings she liked.  Should I let her pick out her ring, or surprise her with an even awesome ring and make the wedding proposal magical?  See, now, I’m getting all mushy.  I can’t believe I’m letting you all know this part of myself, but then again, this is the internet, and all you know is my alias.  Anyway, I talked to my mom and her sister and mom to get clues as to what I should get her – I embarked in a dangerous territory since she’s close to her family, and they talk a lot.  I made them swear to not say or even give the slightest hint of anything.  I really wanted to make this special.  Well, I got this brilliant idea to take them all out to pick a ring and have some bonding time with my new family and my family together – just me and the ladies…fun.

 

Actually, we had a blast.  They were the ones who knew where to look and where to go, and most importantly, they knew what Carla liked.  Plus, if she didn’t like it, then I’m going to blame her mom and sister and also her future mother-in-law.  Carla’s mom and sister told me that she liked white gold or platinum diamond engagement rings, solitaire, so that’s what we looked at.  There were so many different kinds.  I eventually saw this 1.5 carat diamond platinum solitaire ring with scrolls and little diamonds on the side that I think Carla would love.  Carla’s mom started to tear up when she saw the ring.  I would definitely say that she, my future sister-in-law, and my mom agreed that Carla would love it and that it’s the one!  I must say, that I was the one who picked it out first, so I’m proud of that.  The ladies did check to make sure that the diamond was of good quality, following the 4 C’s, as well, so I’m cleared of that aspect of ring shopping. 

 

I’m really glad that my future in-laws and mother came out with me to pick out something that would symbolize my commitment to the one I love.  I know that sounds corny, but so what?  At least I gotta woman in my life!  Now, I just have to work out the details of my proposal, and you definitely know who I’ll be consulting to help me plan this event.

So you all know that I’m already going to propose – but my girlfriend still has no clue! I think she tried to give me another hint yesterday by making me watch one of those wedding TV shows. I just acted uninterested, but really, I was just trying to check out the bride’s engagement ring. Unfortunately, this show focused more on her wedding gown. I did try to see her left hand every moment it appeared on camera, but it wasn’t close enough. See, I’m trying to get an idea of what type of ring to get her. Should I get something that she would like, I would like, or both? I decided to do some research. That’s the analytical side of me talking. Anyway, I searched the internet to see what are the popular settings for engagement rings nowadays. Of course, my mom said to ask her mother, my FMIL (future mother in law) - I'm getting this wedding lingo down! I decided to share what I found, especially to the guys who have no clue as to what to look for in an engagement ring, and here goes: 1) Colored gemstones, especially sapphire. Sapphires used to be the popular gemstone of choice for engagement rings until the De Beers claimed the diamond to be the best gemstone for engagement rings. This colored gemstone is the second hardest stone, behind the diamond. The most popular color is blue. However, other colrs, pink, yellow, and purple are considered rarer than diamonds. Now, brides are starting to pick bold colors for their center stone. If you still want to get a diamond but want something rare, choose a colored diamond. 2) Different designer cuts. Jewelers apparently reported that people are straying away from the princess cut and choosing more designer, yet not too trendy, cuts, such as the cushion, emerald, and other cuts. 3) Modern vintage look. More people are choosing rings with a center stone that is surrounded with small diamonds, like a halo. This ring has a “cleaner,” polished look, giving it a more modern feel. 4) Round, brilliant stone solitaire. Yes, the solitaire is still popular. Perhaps because it’s beautiful and elegant and, yet, a safe choice. 5) Three stone rings. Although these rings were given as anniversary rings before, this past, present, future setting is gaining popularity with a lot of engaged couples. Some people even choose to have small diamonds along the shank to give it an extra sparkle. 6) White metals. White metals, such as white gold and platinum, are currently more popular than yellow gold. They have a classier look and make the diamond sparkle even more. So there you have it. Those are the engagement ring trends of today. I think I may choose the solitaire…maybe because it’s a safe choice, and I’m not a risky guy. But I’m still undecided as to what ring setting to choose. I guess I’ll see what my FMIL thinks.

Regardless of how much you spent for the diamond wedding rings or how you got them, one thing is for sure: they are precious. Thus, you have to do what it takes to make sure that they can be properly taken care of. You can start with the following tips: 1. Do not wear them when you are doing manual work. When you are doing the laundry, gardening, or even taking a bath, make sure that you can remove the jewelry. You may not be aware of it, but the diamond could have already fallen off from its setting. Sure, you may have the money to replace the stone, but the value and meaning of the ring will never be the same again. Not wearing it during manual work will also prevent you from creating scratches into the stone. 2. Separate your pieces of jewelry properly. Avoid putting your diamond wedding earring along with earrings and necklaces. They may have pointed objects that can scratch the diamond. In the same way, the stone itself may cause damage to your other pieces of jewelry. 3. Use a cleaner that is meant for a diamond. When the diamond is already losing its luster, perhaps it means that you should already clean it. Now, it is important that you can keep in mind that you cannot make use of any kind of cleaning material. It may contain chemicals that will only worsen the problem you have with the diamond wedding ring. It may damage not only the diamond itself but also the metal used for the setting. For cleaning, you can buy a diamond cleaning set, which can be valued at $20 or even less than that. If you are not too confident about cleaning the diamond on your own, you can bring the wedding ring to the jeweler and let him or her do the task for you. 4. Insure your diamond. As mentioned, diamonds are valuable. Like gold, their value can increase over time. Hence, you have to insure them for protection. Just in case the wedding ring gets stolen, lost, or damaged, you can recover an amount that is equal to the value of your diamond or depending on what insurance policy you got. 5. Do not expose your diamond wedding ring to harmful chemicals. This is also the reason why you have to take off the ring for a while when you are doing household chores or other strenuous activities. It may come in contact with particular chemicals that can alter the wedding ring’s properties. They may start to stain, or they may change their color. The bad news is that the damages done by chemicals to wedding rings are irreversible. 6. Bring your diamond wedding ring to the jeweler at least once a year. You must bring your diamond wedding ring to the jeweler at least once annually even if you do not see anything wrong with it. Unknown to you, it may already have loose prongs or there could already be slight flaws on your diamond. Your jeweler can then teach you how to properly take care of your jewelry.

Diamonds, the world’s most sought-after gems, has had a rich and interesting history throughout the years. Long before diamond wedding rings became famous, these precious stones have been treated not only as gems but also as talismans. Diamonds were said to have originated in India about three thousand years ago and were valued primarily because of their brilliance. In those early days of diamond history, people thought diamonds were mystical stones that could be used to ward off evil spirits or as protection from harm. Some believed they were good protective talismans for battle. At a certain point, diamonds were even thought to be powerful magical gems that could heal wounds or even cure sickness! By the time the Middle Ages came, the lore surrounding the so-called mystical stones had dwindled, and public interest in the aesthetic and commercial value of diamonds perked up. Giving diamond wedding rings to bride-to-be’s turned into a trend after Duke Maximilian of Austria presented Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring as his betrothal gift in 1477. In later years, after the Indian diamond supply had diminished, a few smaller mines were discovered in Brazil and Borneo. These, however, were not enough to address the rising demand for diamond wedding rings and other jewelry. A sizable supply of diamonds was found in South Africa sometime in the 1800s, which set the precedent for the world’s largest diamond rush. It wasn’t until the later part of the 1970’s that the world’s richest diamond deposits was discovered near Lake Argyle in Australia. To date, a significant percentage of the world’s diamonds are supplied by the Argyle mines. With this development, diamond wedding rings and other jewelry have become so much more available to the public. Today, diamond wedding rings have become a staple for marrying couples all over the world. Aside from the ever-popular colorless diamonds, more options have also become available for all kinds of couples, individuals, and personalities, especially with the recent advancements in technology. There are now lab-produced diamonds, which are not actually mined from the earth like naturally-occurring diamonds, but still as brilliant and beautiful. Colored or “fancy” diamonds are also now on the market, whether natural or treated to enhance their color. Rare red or pink diamonds, stunning canary yellows, or elegant black ones – there is a diamond that can fit one’s personality and budget. The story of diamond is wrapped in magic and romance. It is no wonder, then, that diamond wedding rings have become a significant part of marriage ceremonies everywhere. It is not just the beauty, brilliance, or the prestige of this popular gemstone that makes it so special, but also the rich history and symbolism that goes with it as a couple exchanges their vows at the altar. Just imagine, you and your partner are giving each other a gift of man and nature that has been thousands of years in the making – perhaps even as old as time itself. Now that is a perfect moment for an enchanting wedding!

One might think that the glitzy diamond might be too much for masculine tastes and render the groom effeminate. Diamond wedding bands are also perfect for men but a perfect wedding band should complement the groom’s personal tastes, style and lifestyle. Diamond wedding bands for men are often very simple pieces: a metal like gold, white gold, platinum, chromium or even titanium holds a single and beautifully cut diamond. Elegant, masculine and timeless, diamond wedding bands are a perfect testament to a man’s love for his wife. Most couples also opt for matching diamond wedding bands. Remember that even if the bride wants a more ornate piece, men's rings should stay as simple as possible. This is because an ornate piece would look odd and quite off on a man's finger. A more compelling reason for staying simple, however, is his active lifestyle. Additionally, most people also think that diamond wedding bands for men are expensive. Well, that is true for the most part. Diamond wedding bands are more expensive because a diamond is a valuable and well-known symbol of love and timelessness, which is why it is also quite pricey. Take heart, however, that budget conscious men have some alternatives that can save some dollars. For one, there are diamonds that have a lower grade or rating. Diamonds are rated based on its 4Cs: color, cut, carat and clarity. It is close to impossible to find a diamond that rate high on all four qualities, so it is really up to the groom to choose which diamond he likes. A smaller one, or one with a slight haze, or one with some cutting imperfections are of course more reasonable price-wise. Even with its imperfections, lower grade diamonds can still sparkle brightly if set right. Choosing a cheaper metal might also help keep the price down. For example, if you have wanted a platinum ring for so long, you might sacrifice a little and get a gold ring. Gold costs much cheaper than platinum but is also valuable. Another thing that adds to the final tag price is engravings or markings on the face of the ring itself. A beveled ring is not necessarily better than a flat one. So choose for a ring that is simple. So you see, scrimping in this case does not really mean you are stuck with cheap-looking pieces of jewelry. Basically choose one that celebrates love yet also maintains his masculinity. You should also address his personal style and lifestyle. For most men, their wedding bands may be the only piece of jewelry other than watches and cuff link that they would own, which is why choosing diamond wedding bands for them becomes doubly important.
