Number 1: What kind of style do you think they would love?
This is always a very important factor in deciding what engagement ring to get for your loved one. There are three main styles, classic, modern, or vintage.

Modern styles are designs that are in style currently and have very clean looks. One of the most popular modern designs currently is the halo design. Halo design rings are very popular because they accent the center stone with a beautiful frame of smaller diamonds making the center stone appear larger.
Vintage designs have intricate designs usually involving filligree along the sides of the ring and a lot of detail. These style of rings have an older feel and style to them, but don't take that as outdated. Many people love the craftsmanship of vintage style rings.
Number 2: What kind of center stone would they love in their ring?
The center stone is one of the most important things to consider when planning on buying an engagement ring. It is the focal point of the ring and knowing what shape your loved one would want is crucial to finding the perfect engagement ring. Here are some of the main diamond cuts:
Number 3: Their finger size!
In the quest for the perfect engagement ring this is one of the most overlooked details. When you present the ring there is nothing worse than it not fitting properly. So figuring out their ring size is very important, but how do you figure it out without them knowing? Some tips on finding out their ring size include using a ring that they already wear on their ring finger, having one of their friends descretely find out their ring size and relaying it to you, or just simply asking them. That last option may tip your significant other off, but at least you know that the engagement ring will fit them perfectly.
