Because diamonds are such an investment, most modern couples discuss ring styles ahead of the actual proposal to avoid having an awkward, does-he-even-know-me moment. If you are on the cusp of getting engaged, make sure you really know what you want. To help, we enlisted Jerry Ehrenwald, the President and CEO of the International Gemological Institute. Using his expertise, along with rings from our favorite jewelry designers, we dive deep into the 4 Cs: cut, carat, clarity and color. By the time we\u2019re done, you\u2019ll be 100-percent positive which ring style best suits you. (Don\u2019t worry, we too met our spirit diamond before our soul mate.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/thezoereport.com\/gallery\/how-to-choose-an-engagement-ring\/?utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=thezoereport&amp;utm_campaign=TZR%3A%20How%20To%20Buy%20A%20Diamond%20Ad%3A%20Zella\" target=\"_blank\">Read full article here:<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;&#8221; font_color=&#8221;&#8221; overlay_color=&#8221;&#8221; overlay_color_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; overlay_pattern=&#8221;&#8221; overlay_pattern_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; full_page_width=&#8221;&#8221; parallax=&#8221;&#8221; toc_id=&#8221;&#8221; bg_image_fb=&#8221;&#8221; bg_image_repeat_fb=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text] Article by Shannon Nash A diamond engagement ring is usually the most expensive item in a woman\u2019s jewelry box.
