If your birthday falls in March, that makes you either a Pisces or an Aries, and your birthstone aquamarine. Aquamarine, like its name suggests, is blue or turquoise in color whose shade can look brilliant in large quantities and more subtle in small amounts. It is actually not a gemstone in itself, but a variant of beryl, a crystallized mineral that comes in various other colors like green, red, yellow and white due to impurities contained inside of it. Pure beryl without impurities has no color but this is relatively rare to find. You might be more familiar with green beryl as emerald, the birthstone of May.

The engagement ring is often the symbol of love between two people, and is only surpassed by the wedding ring in importance. Making a big impact with the ring when proposing is on every man’s mind and a custom engagement ring can accomplish exactly that.
When you start looking for a ring for your partner, you will see that there is a huge amount of options. Here are some of the popular engagement rings.
Princess cut diamond ring
The princess cut diamond ring is a very popular engagement ring. It has a classic look and the stone are available in different sizes. The stone can be set in a tapered or wide band, usually made of white or yellow gold, or platinum.
Six Prong diamond ring
Probably the most popular engagement ring, the six prong diamond ring has both a traditional and distinct look. The round diamond is supported by six prongs, leaving all eyes on the centered, round, diamond.
Eternity ring
The Eternity, or Alliance ring, are affordable and popular engagement rings to use as an engagement ring. It comes in many sizes, and with one to a full rack of diamonds.
Gem Stone rings
These rings are usually consist of one or more gems stones, with or with out a diamond in the center. Popular gems are sapphires, ruby, and emeralds. These can be set in platinum and white or yellow gold. Gem stone rings are great as a custom engagement ring because the options are so many, and you can pick and choose between stones to get the perfect match.
Tension rings
The Tension rings are pretty unique and distinct looking rings, but still popular engagement rings. They are characterized by their design where the stone is held in place by the ring tension, and not the usual prong or bezel mounting.
Celtic Harmony ring
The Celtic Harmony ring is a nice alternative to the diamond engagement ring. It features the Celtic love knot and is usually set in gold.
Pear engagement rings
Pear shaped diamond rings are very beautiful, but because of the shape of the diamond which mimics a pear they can be very expensive. These rings often have 1ct diamonds and above.
Engraved engagement rings
Most custom engagement rings can be engraved if the set is thick enough. Engraving the ring with some special words to your loved one can be a very romantic and long lasting symbol of your passion for her.
Taste and preferences
The engagement ring is important for both the person giving it away and the person receiving it. That said, the person receiving it will be the one wearing it. Buying a ring that you find gorgeous but your partner finds awful can be an uncomfortable situation for both of you. Keep your partners taste in mind when you consider the popular engagement rings above.

Planning on proposing? How about suprising her with a custom build, diamond ring!
Start with one of thousands of diamonds, choose a setting (ring), select a ring size, build you custom engagement ring, and have it delivered at your door a couple of days later.
It wasn’t long ago that purchasing products on the Internet was seen as risky. People were afraid that their credit card information was going to be stolen from the company they purchased from, or even worse that the company itself would misuse your card. No one would ever consider purchasing a custom engagement ring online, that’s for sure.
These days, buying on the Internet is very safe as both the companies selling, and the credit and debit card providers, have several new features and safe guards in place that protect the customer. Not only that, more and more products are being sold online, and the technology being used to offer virtual show rooms makes it possible to get a real life feel for the product before you hit the buy button.
One of those products is custom engagement rings. You can now choose between thousands of diamonds, and other gemstones, on a single web site like BlueNile.com, find the setting you feel matches best, choose ring size, and BlueNile does the rest. They put the ring together, complete with diamonds certificates, package it in the box of your choice, and have it send to you by delivery. Now, do you get that kind of options at your local jewelry store? Last time I checked, BlueNile had 27.212 diffent diamonds to choose from, in every possible size and cut.
Set a side the fact that you will probably save anywhere from 30-50% by purchasing from an online jeweler, versus buying at a local store. You also get a 30 day return guarantee, which means you can return the product for a full refund within 30 days of receiving the product.
Proposing is a special event in a man’s life, why not get the most out of your money and buy your lady a custom engagement ring.
