The Pear or ‘Tear’ shaped diamond is a unique and elegant choice for an engagement ring.  When paired with a plain band the gemstone emerges as an emotional statement of love and affection.  This style engagement ring best suits couples that are ‘down-to-earth’ personalities.  This understated and stunning combination is sure to elicit actual tears of joy when presented.

If you’re out to buy an engagement ring, you’ll probably have a lot of choices to make. There are so many styles available today, and there are also different colored diamonds. Some people choose to have other stones instead of diamonds in their engagement ring, too, or they use them as accent stones. One of the biggest questions, though, is whether you should get white gold, yellow gold, or platinum.

While platinum and white gold look very similar, some people have strong opinions about which one is better. Platinum is also much more expensive than white gold, so that’s something to consider. If you prefer the platinum or ‘silver’ look as opposed to the standard gold look that yellow gold has to offer you might want to consider white gold. The prices of white gold engagement rings are comparable to yellow gold but the look is very different, and the many styles means that you’ll find a lot of great choices that you can pick from.

Engagement rings are important and personal choices, so take the time to get one that looks and feels right to you.
