Purchasing an Engagement Ring - Don't Get Ripped Off. That brings me to the second point.

And with you being in an emotional state, you need to be even more aware of what's going on. And that's about knowing the terminology and the different grades of diamond. There are a lot of unscrupulous people out there including some jewelry salesmen that are out only to make the buck. These determine the quality and price mark of any one piece. First off, unless you have recommendation, I would stick with mainstream jewellers. Unless you know what to look for, it can sometimes be hard to spot one.

Unfortunately, there are some who don't care that they just sold you a fake.

They are Clarity, Color, Cut, and Carat weight. Purchasing an engagement ring can be a daunting experience.

For all you guys about to pop the question and searching for that one ring that will take her breath away, I want to give you a few pointers so you don't get ripped off in the process.
