The ring, while easily identified is also very feminine and modern looking.
Replicas of the famous pink diamond ring are now available for a moderate price. The cost of the replicas depends on the quality of the stones and the materials used in reproducing the pink diamond engagement ring.
Some replicas are styled as more antique diamond engagement rings. These rings have an everlasting quality and symbolize tradition and heritage. The recent engagement of Camilla Parker Bowles in February of 2005 featured such an antique engagement ring. The platinum ring has an emerald-cut center diamond with three diamond baguettes on each side. This ring originally belonged to the Queen Mother and is believed to be valued at over million.
Since few people can afford the original item, there will always be a market for replicas of these one of a kind diamond engagement rings. The quality of the replicas varies, as does the price. It is important to note that the styles of diamond engagement rings that are popular with celebrities will soon become the styles that are sought after by the not quite so rich and famous.
When should Mark select the engagement ring?
He may select a new ring, or he may have an heirloom he feels certain Caroline will cherish. He should make certain of the ring size, however, and have a good idea of Caroline's taste and preferences.
Customarily the engagement and wedding rings are chosen sometime after the proposal, and Caroline goes with Mark to make the selection. Young people today usually discuss frankly how much should be spent for the rings. The wedding ring is mentioned here because it is often purchased with the engagement ring" to match." If he prefers, Mark may make a preliminary trip to the jeweller and arrange to have only those rings shown which are within his budget when Caroline later comes with him.
There are times when a bride desires to give her fiancé an engagement ring. Should she decide to do this, it is important that she think in terms of a ring suitable for a man. It should not be too "light" a type, should possibly be plain gold or a gold seal ring. Birthstones are considered good taste for a man's ring. Unless she is quite sure of his taste and his ring size, she would probably do better to take him along in the selection of the ring.
