When you are looking for the best engagement ring for your special someone, you will want to take several things into consideration.

Second, you will want to get an engagement ring that will make your partner smile for years to come. Third, getting the stone your partner likes best may be better than a traditional diamond. Finally, present your partner with the engagement ring of their dreams.
The Cost of the Engagement Ring
If you are a die-hard traditionalist you may think the engagement ring Toronto should cost equal to a few months of your salary. Most people today think this is too much or simply a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a ring. There are several ways you can work around this.
One of the easiest ways is to save up before you purchase the engagement ring. You can do this over the course of a year or more depending upon how much you plan on spending. Some other ways to reduce the cost include:
- Select Wider Cuts – Wider cuts makes smaller stones appear larger.
- Use a Family Heirloom – Family heirlooms can be modernized and updated to reflect the current tastes of your loved one.
- Choose a Slight Smaller Cut – A 1.9 karat stone is slightly smaller than a 2 karat stone. However, most people will not notice the difference and it can save you about 20% or more.
Look Through Your Partner’s Current Jewelry
