At one point picking out the diamond engagement ring was all up to the guy.  But now things have changed from the days of yore.   There are so many different choices when it comes to diamond rings that the decision cannot just be made on the whim.  There are of course those that choose to go in a totally different direction and chose a different stone.   But for those that have their eye set on purchasing a diamond, there are many different characteristics of the diamond ring to select.

But when it comes to diamond rings, there are certain things to consider like the color of the diamond.  Not only are future brides having white diamonds on their fingers.  There are many that have fallen in love with their yellow, pink, or black diamond rings. 

There is also the decision on what cut to have for the diamond ring. You may want a cushion, emerald, heart, marquise, oval, radiant, pear, princess, round, or trilliant cut.  Of all these cuts the round diamonds are more prevalent than the rest.

Going beyond the diamond you also need to choose the metal of the ring.  Silver, white gold, yellow gold.

So with that all in mind, who would you want to chose your diamond engagement ring?
