As Shirley Bassey puts it, diamonds are forever and who is to say that she was wrong? Diamond engagement rings show just how much your true love means to you! As the beginning of a relationship filled with love, diamonds portray just that. Diamonds are one of the toughest gemstones in the world which makes them such a sought after gemstone. When looking for diamonds, ensure they come with a GIA or an EGL certification as a confirmation of the diamonds' quality. White gold or platinum would work well with diamonds and is a popular choice just because of the harmony of colors between the band and the diamond. Regular gold on the other hand would have a higher resale value as they are in the purest form of gold, suitable to be melted and shaped into any other form of jewelry. With diamond cuts up till 4 carats, choose a design which works well within your budget and show her just how much you love her when you propose!
