\"You<\/div>\n

Many guys spend weeks on end picking out the perfect Loose Diamond<\/strong> (Certified<\/a> of course). <\/p>\n

\nThey purchase the stone and then are left holding an envelope with a loose Diamond<\/strong> in it and a Laminated Diamond Report (hopefully GIA<\/strong>). <\/p>\n

\nNow What?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWhat do you do once you buy the stone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDo you just give her the loose Diamond during your proposal<\/strong>? <\/p>\n

“Here you go!<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\n\"Give<\/p>\n

\nOr, do you choose to have it put into a mounting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAnd then, if you decide to have the Diamond set, which mounting do you choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThere are literally millions of different designs, styles, metals and mountings to choose from.<\/p>\n

Where do you even begin?<\/h2>\n

\nThis is where I come in… I’m here to help!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIn order to begin, you must first decide if you want the Diamond set or not. Personally, I say have it set into a mounting<\/strong>. Handing your girl a loose stone is not very romantic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAlthough I’m sure she’ll love getting a Diamond, it’s not very easy showing it off to family and friends. Plus, loose stones can get lost or damaged<\/strong> pretty easily!<\/p>\n

\nSo I always recommend having the Diamond set.<\/p>\n

What Mounting do you choose?<\/h2>\n

\nThere’s the Classic Tiffany Style Ring, Pave’ Mountings, Invisible Settings, Channel Sets, Custom Designs, and tons more (See More Here at James Allen<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\n\"Engagement<\/p>\n

\nIf you guys have been talking about getting married, I’m sure she’s dropped some hints<\/strong> as to what she likes or even may have pointed out some rings in a magazine or at the local Jewelry Store.<\/p>\n

\nGirls love to Diamond shop and look at Engagement Rings<\/strong> all the time. They dream of the day that they’ll get one of these beautiful works of nature. It’s like a fairy tale come true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIf you’ve done your homework, or paid attention, you’ll probably have at least some ideas of her likes and dislikes<\/strong>. Things like:<\/p>\n
