Do you dream of the perfect wedding ring? I do. Do you?

A sparkling diamond ring is what every girl dreams of wearing on her finger. You want the perfect ring to match the perfect wedding day.

Your wedding ring will last you a life time, which means a classic style will stay beautiful and timeless forever. Some brides like to design their own ring on sites like Seventy Seven Diamonds, whereas others prefer an inherited piece from a family member, to wear on their finger. It's personal preference.

Knowing your ring size is the first step to the perfect fit. Most jewellers use the lettering system to measure your finger's thickness. A size A is the smallest and Z is the largest. There are a variety of precious metals to chose from, such as gold, silver, white gold and many more. Some rings have jewels or diamonds embedded in the band, which adds an extra sparkle and glamour.

Couples often like to have a special engraving on the inside of a ring, whether it's their initials, or the date of their anniversary.

The next step is the gem and the cut. You can chose from round, oval, brilliant, cushion, princess, emerald, heart shape and many more. The brilliant diamond is the most sparkly cut diamond. It is a very popular design because it is classic and timeless to suit a contemporary or vintage ring. A Princess cut is very similar to a round diamond, but is more modern and is also a brilliant cut which gives it more sparkle. Cushion Cut Diamonds resemblance a pillow - hence the name. They were most fashionable during the 1800's but have had a recent comeback. They originate from an Old Mine Cut, which is a square shape with rounded corners. Emerald Cut Diamonds are the purest looking of them all. They are rectangular in shape with a large face which is clear in the centre and crystallised around the edges. There really is a diamond to suit every taste.

A diamond's clarity determines its quality and value. It is graded by the size, nature of the inclusions and internal characteristics of a stone. A high value diamond with an excellent clarity will have the fewest scratches, pockets of air, or blemishes.

With all this in mind, you are sure to find the perfect ring.
