What is your budget?

There are a few things to consider when setting your budget. First, you need to find out the size of your partner’s ring finger. This will help you determine how much money you can spend on the ring and what kind of diamond you’ll be able to afford. If she has small fingers, for example, there won’t be much room for a large stone or intricate design.

You also have to think about her personal style and taste in jewelry: does she prefer classic pieces or something more trendy? If she prefers the latter, then it might mean that diamonds aren’t right for her—she might prefer another gemstone like amethyst or sapphires instead! You can talk over these details with her during one of your dates so everything feels special when it comes time for her birthday present (or anniversary gift).

What kind of setting do you want?

When considering a setting for your diamond, there are several options to choose from. These include:

• prong setting (the sides of the diamond are held in place by small metal claws)
• bezel setting (these diamonds are held in place by a rim around the stone)
• pave setting (this is an old-fashioned method that uses small diamonds to fill in the gaps between larger stones)

Another consideration when choosing your ring’s setting is whether you want it secured with a plain band or one made of precious metals. A plain band can be any metal, but a precious metal just refers to gold or platinum—or other non-precious metals like tungsten carbide or cobalt chrome if you’re looking for something less expensive than these two options. Gold is typically yellowish and white gold has been alloyed with other metals so it has more of an off-white appearance; platinum is generally whiter than its yellow counterpart but still not as white as stainless steel would be if used instead as part of its makeup.

Decide what your budget and style preferences are before you look at diamond rings.

There are a lot of factors involved in buying a diamond ring. One of the most important is the price tag, but there are also considerations like size and style that factor into your final decision. Before you start shopping, make sure to think about how much you can afford to spend on a ring and what kind of diamond ring you want.

In addition to cost, consider what sort of style works best for you and your partner. Do you prefer classic elegance or contemporary flair? If so, which look would be more appropriate for the occasion? Are more traditional settings right for formal occasions (like weddings), while more modern ones might be better suited for everyday wear? Once these questions have been answered by both partners in the relationship then it’s time to start looking at various options within those parameters!
