Try to find out what she likes. And I mean, really talk to her on the subject, not just assume. Otherwise, 50% chances are she gets a ring she isn't fond of and you don't want to see this happening... I'm talking from experience... Then, do your homework, study a bit on clarity, this might help you save money and not get tricked. More affordable are the so called “eye-clean” diamonds. These are diamonds with inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye. These diamonds are SI or SI2. Thus, (unless your GF is a gemologist :D), you can save money AND get a really astonishing piece. Also, make sure you know her measure. This is a tricky one... But then, not to worry too much about that, they can exchange it or make it fit. Before you buy, try to “spy” a little if you want to surprise her. Try to find out what she likes.
