Are you planning to get engaged soon? Then certainly some planning is in order for getting the perfect engagement ring. Engagement rings can have various kinds of precious stones set on them, but diamonds undoubtedly make for the best appeal. In the past, the would-be groom would go alone to the jewelry store to purchase the rings. However, times have changed, and nowadays it is common for the bride and groom to visit the store together and select the rings that are perfect for them.

When choosing a diamond ring, the price tag must be taken into consideration. Here’s a secret! Usually, the groom is expected to select a ring that is priced at about twice his monthly salary amount. However, you need not stick to this rule. It is quite common for a groom nowadays to choose a diamond ring priced much higher.

Before you choose a diamond ring, you must decide on the way the diamond will be set on it. There are different types of settings, including Classic Solitaire, Pave Setting, Setting with Sidestones, Three Stone Setting, and Designer Jewelry settings. The diamond need not be white either, considering the seemingly endless number of collections of color diamond stones that are available. Your only factors for making a decision here will be your tastes in jewelry and the budget.

The diamond you choose will be priced according to the 4 Cs, i.e., cut, clarity, carat, and color. So, do a bit of homework beforehand to learn how to choose a diamond based on these criteria. When purchasing a diamond, be sure to check its shape, grade, cleaning, and light performance. When you have finally made a choice ask the jeweler for a certificate, which will signify that the diamond is genuine and has been tested for quality.

So, go ahead and get a pair of diamond rings for your engagement. These are sure to preserve the memories of the joyous occasion for years to come.

The Deutsch & Deutsch tradition of hard work and ingenuity has been the driving force behind its evolution from a modest 1920’s tourist shop into becoming respected as one of the most prominent jewelers in Texas. When Aladar Deutsch launched his business those many years ago it was with a commitment to grow with the needs of the consumer and for three generations the business has done exactly that. One of the great turning points came in 1960 when he handed the reins to his son. Russell Deutsch ushered Deutsch & Deutsch into the manufacturing and sale of jewelry touching off their transformation into the largest South Texas luxury jeweler offering some of the most exclusive brands of timepieces and high end jewelry.

Now, with three locations throughout the state of Texas and with Aladar’s grandsons at the helm preserving the relaxed family atmosphere while doing business with the same ingenuity and integrity that was his standard, Deutsch & Deutsch continues to become a special part of people’s lives and families with each transaction. Their offerings include the finest names in Swiss timepieces, Italian and designer jewelry along with estate jewelry, diamonds, diamond rings and engagement sets.
