Diamonds are women’s best friend, that’s what people say. Many women dream to wear jewelry jewelry in her life, and men think if they buy jewelry diamond ring, she will be with him forever as the diamond is forever (or at least attract her attention)

You might think why diamond is so expensive; maybe it cost one or two month salary. I’ll tell you why, it’s because it takes millions of years to form a diamond; and now it’s still year 2009! Fresh diamond please?.. Fresh diamond will be ready in next million years, or it’s free!

Ok, now you know why it’s so expensive and you still want to buy her jewelry diamond ring. Here are things you should know:

Jewelry reflects personality

The most important thing is to know your women style, because there’s a chance she will never wear jewelry from you because she don’t like it (she appreciate it, but she never wear it). If she is casual, you don’t have to worry, just buy her simple one and not too flashy. If she is glamour girl, buy her jewelry with a lot of diamonds (more sparkle is better…but its sounds more money to me ) If she’s eccentric, buy her some unique jewelry diamond ring, with a tribal motif, animal, etc

Learn about the diamond

Learn about the 4C (clarity, Color, Cut and Carat). This is important, especially if she knows a lot about diamonds. If she’s blind about diamonds, you can take a deep breath, because with the current technology, the quality of diamond imitation is going better and better. She will not notice it if it’s fake or real… at least if she dont take it to the jeweler. However, it’s better to give her the best you’ve got, you can think that as investment too

Shopping Place

You can buy a jewelry diamond ring at the jewelry store, but it needs more time and effort. Nowadays, buying jewelry on the internet is easier, but you have to choose carefully, some online stores sell fake diamonds.
