We asked thousands of women what they want in their dream couple wedding rings.

 Most people would prefer a Round Brilliant Stone of at least two carats with a Halo Style in white gold. Of course, this is not the whole story. Check out our infographic if you're searching for an affordable engagement or want to ensure you get her the ring she wants.

 Pear-shaped gemstones are also less expensive than other styles, despite their perceived higher carat weight. The International Gem Society has reported that pear-shaped diamonds are 10-30% less expensive on average than a similar-sized round brilliant cut.

 The pretty pear-shaped diamond is not without its downsides. The pear-shaped diamond's tip is known for being fragile and susceptible to chipping. A well-cut, pear diamond can also be difficult to find. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) does not yet assign quality grades to fancy shaped diamonds like emeralds, Asschers, marquises and pears. It is up to you to check the shape and shine of your diamond.

 Pear Shaped Engagement Ring Sets

 To prevent chips, pear diamonds must always have a prong set at the pointed end. The point of the pear-cut stone should never be left exposed. It can catch or snag on clothing and hair. The most popular settings of pear-cut engagement rings are six-prong and five-prong settings. These styles provide adequate protection for your diamond.

 A halo setting may also be used to protect the delicate pointed tip of a diamond pear shape. A halo setting completely surrounds the center stone with accent stones. This results in a sparkling engagement ring with added protection for delicate stones.

 Bezel settings are another option for your pear diamond. This setting offers the best protection for diamonds of any shape, as it wraps the entire stone in metal. Bezel settings are a great way to add a touch of modern style. They go well with minimalistic designs. A bezel setting may make your diamond appear smaller as the sides are hidden.

 You've seen them. You've seen the photos. You've probably seen this 'engagement selfie' all over your social media feed. Take the perfect shot of your engagement ring with these 10 tips!

 Get your nails done. The shine of your new polish and the smoothness of your hands will draw attention to that gorgeous ring. Just before snapping, apply a small amount of hand cream (remember to remove your ring to keep it looking sparkling and bright).

 Be mindful of your background. The best backdrops are breathtaking. You don't need to include an ocean view in your ring photo to make it awesome. Pay attention to the details. You can make a difference by moving your shot just a little.

 Relax your hand. It's easy to look stiff and uncomfortable when you do the ring selfie. Keep your thumb and fingers close together.

 Use a prop. It's a good way to make your pose look more relaxed and natural. We love coffee mugs and cute clutches. A bridal magazine or a glass of bubbly is also a great prop. You can also put your hand on your fiance's shoulder or a bridal magazine.

 Cover a part of your face. Cover part of your face if you want to include the engagement ring when taking a selfie. The ring will still be visible in the photo, and it looks effortless and cool.
