Start Google and Yahoo search: Start you job by searching online diamond selling portals through google search. Compare the price and carat size of the rings. You can also search for a good diamond ring on the trusted online stores like ebay.com and amazon.com . Also try to find if some online jewelers offer diamonds at wholesale price. Ask for certification for the genuineness of the diamonds engagement ring. Some jewelry is available on cheap rates. The most sought after certification is GIA grading. Many online websites on www also offer upto one month money back guarantee. In case you don't like diamond engagement ring, you may return it within one month and get your money back. Others let you pay only when you actually see the diamond ring with your eyes at your doorsteps. You can return the order if you are not satisfied.

When you go to a jeweler shop, be confident that you know more than anyone else about diamonds. Ask the salespersons some technical questions about diamond piece in which you are interested. This will make the salespersons realise that you are technically well informed and have a good knowledge of price. Since they want to sell you the jewellery in any case, they won't try to charge you in excess. They know that you will leave if they try to deceive you or tell you over price.

Don't buy diamonds when you are touring some place far away from your residence. This is because at tourist places, you will hardly get any genuine diamond ring. The 4 C grading or guarantee certificates provided by the seller are often void as you will seldom visit that place again to complain against the diamond engagement ring, wedding ring or set.

It is better to buy diamond engagement ring or diamond wedding ring from an old local shop. This is because you can use the guarantee certificate or grading certificate if you find the diamond ring fake or unauthentic. It is also easier to sue the local seller. Another thing is that local seller does not want to malign his reputation in local market by selling a fake diamond ring. After all he has to survive there for a long time.

Another option is to buy a ring from some mega brand like Nakshatra, Asmi, Tanishq or Blue Nile etc. To maintain a good reputation in the market, they keep high quality standard of their products.

• If you are buying a costly diamond ring, insist for a GIA / AGS diamond grading certificate or any other local certificate approved in your country. Some brands inscribe your GIA / AGS certificate number on diamond with laser ray. It will prevent swapping of your diamond ring when you go to a jeweler for cleaning the ring.
• Get a genuine sales invoice, get 4Cs grading of the diamond written in the sales invoice. Do not ignore to get genuine sales invoice just because you have to pay tax (generally 1%) for it. After all it is a matter of peace of mind. Just pay one percent tax and rest assured about 99 percent of investment of your hard earned money. Otherwise you have to take risk with 99 percent money.

Home work

Before going to market to buy diamond jewellery, you should know:

• How much money you want to spend on buying the diamonds wedding rings or diamonds engagement rings.
• In what material it should be embedded? Silver, platinum, palladium, yellow gold or white gold?
• Size of finger of your fiancee or fiance. For this, you can ask your fiancée to provide her finger size. Often, jewelers have a standard size-measuring steel rod. Ask your fiancée to go to some jewelry show room near her home and get her finger size measured. Alternatively, you can ask her to buy a cheap ring of artificial jewelry of correct size from some road-side vendor and send it to you. You can show that ring to your jeweler and get a new diamond ring of that size. If you do not want to ask her finger size, do one thing. See if she wears any ring. Some how get the ring from her, put it in your finger and see where it stops. Then tell your jeweler to make an engagement ring of diamond (or diamond wedding band ring) of that size. This will have a drawback. If the ring she wears is not of right size, the new ring you make for her will also not be of right size.
