Here are the essential things to know when purchasing a diamond engagement ring that will get her the ring of her dreams & potentially save you thousands, without compromising on quality.

The general rule of thumb is that the lighter the color of your metal, the better your diamond in Amara Three Row Halo Emerald Engagement Ring will look, so most people opt for the white colored Platinum or Palladium.
