This small circle of metal is a very potent and significant jewel. The unbroken circle symbolizes eternal love, a continuing, endless flow through time. This universal symbol has been an important part of the wedding ceremony for more than five centuries. Isn't it romantic to think that you and your mate are linked by this ancient tradition to brides and grooms who exchanged their vows through the ages? It not only symbolizes this marriage, it also links you to the chain of generations past and future who celebrate the marriage ceremony.

Step 1:

Establish Your Budget

According to the generally accepted convention, a man should spend roughly two months' salary on a diamond engagement ring. While this guideline is certainly not a law, polls show that many men agree with this spending recommendation, and in the minds of many women it's become an accepted standard. We recommend that you don't commit yourself to a dollar amount right away-familiarize yourself with the various options available before you decide how much to spend. The Hannoush Diamond Search is a good way to begin.

Step 2:

Learn About Diamonds

To begin shopping for a diamond, you need to understand the four C's of diamond evaluation: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. By understanding these qualities you can determine which traits are most important to you, and you can find a balance between them that best suits your needs.
