Think about it this way: Approximately 250 tons of ore must be mined to yield a one- carat polished diamond. That helps explain the rarity of large diamonds. However, bigger isn’t always better, which is why smaller stones with a better cut, color and clarity can be more ex- pensive. As engagement rings go, the fa- vorite remains the brilliant-cut di- ond solitaire. But don’t over- ook other shapes, such as oval, pear, marquise or emerald. As with any jewelry, you'll want 0 consider its function when you hoose a setting. If you'll be wear- g the ring all the time, opt for a ow-profile setting that helps pro- fect the stone. If it’s something you'll wear mostly on special oc- asions, you can choose a high- bronged setting that shows off our treasure. Since a diamond engagement ring is often the most valuable piece of jewelry a young bride pwns, it’s wise to have the ring properly insured.

If the en- gagement ring is elaborate, the wedding band should be fairly simple. If the engagement ring is small and basic, a more substan- tial wedding band will enhance it. Some brides even choose to forgo a separate wedding band al- together by having the gem for the engagement ring placed in a more substantial setting.
