Once you've decided on the number of stones, the next thing to consider is the diamond's shape. It's also important to consider the ring's setting. Most women don't want the ring to be set too high, but they want people to see the beautiful rock they've received. This setting shows off the stone very nicely. As far as the metal out of which the band is made, platinum is the latest trend.
Gold is the other prevalent metal.
Hopefully, knowing a bit about the most popular styles will you help you choose a ring, but it may still be difficult if you aren't sure what your fiancee likes. While it's romantic to surprise her, I'd suggest that you go window-shopping with her before you buy the ring and gauge your fiancee's reaction to different styles. This seems to be what many men do. So he is prepared and knows the type of style she is looking for, although she may not be right there when he chooses it. And, if you're feeling lucky, enter our contest to win a diamond ring.
