It covers 10 things you should know before you go out to buy an engagement ring.

If she has long fingers, you should choose a ring with an emerald or princess cut stone. This ring will complement the length of her fingers. If she has shorter fingers, go with a ring that won’t make her fingers look shorter. A round stone or a ring with stones set parallel to the band instead of perpendicular to it will look lovely.

You should also familiarize yourself with the kinds of stones your girlfriend loves. Does she want a diamond or would she prefer a ring with a colored stone? Do note that gemstones vary widely in hardness. Your best picks for a stone she’ll wear every day are hard stones like diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.
