Buying best engagement ring is not the easiest task, beside her preferences in matter of jewelry and your budget, there are quite a few things that u must be aware of . I think that the dream of the majority of women is to get a perfect diamond engagement ring.

How To Buy An Engagement Ring
If you feel like going to a trip to Europe you can go to Antwerp, Belgium. Antwerp is the world center when it comes to diamonds, and is a nice city to visit too. If you can’t find the one that suits you here then it doesn’t exist.
Of course if diamond engagement ring is not an option for you, then you can choose pearl ore other semi - precious stone.
Also zirconia in cubic crystallized form is best known diamond stimulant.
“Single crystals of the cubic phase of zirconia are commonly used as a substitute for diamond (diamond simulant) in jewellery. Like diamond, cubic zirconia has a cubic crystal structure and a high index of refraction. Discerning a good quality cubic zirconia gem from a diamond is difficult, and most jewelers will have a thermal conductivity tester to identify cubic zircona by its low thermal conductivity (diamond is a very good thermal conductor). This state of zirconia is commonly called “cubic zirconia,” “CZ,” or “zircon” by jewelers.” You can read more about this here.
Because some rings can cost a fortune in history were some trials regarding broken engagements.
“In some states of the United States, engagement rings are considered “conditional gifts” under the legal rules of property. This is an exception to the general rule that gifts cannot be revoked once properly given. See, for example, the case of Meyer v. Mitnick, whose ruling found the following reasoning persuasive: ‘the so-called ‘modern trend’ holds that because an engagement ring is an inherently conditional gift, once the engagement has been broken, the ring should be returned to the donor. Thus, the question of who broke the engagement and why, or who was ‘at fault,’ is irrelevant. This is the no-fault line of cases.
One case in New South Wales, Australia ended in the man suing his former fiancée because she threw the ring in the trash after telling her she could keep it despite the marriage proposal failing. The Supreme Court of New South Wales held that despite what the man said, the ring remained a conditional gift (partly because his saying that she could keep it was partly due to his desire to salvage the relationship) and she was ordered to pay him its AUD$15,250 cost.
In the United Kingdom, the gift of an engagement ring is presumed to be an absolute gift to the fiancée. This presumption may be rebutted however by proving that the ring was given on condition (express or implied) that it must be returned if the marriage did not take place, for whatever reason.
Recent court rulings have determined that the date in which the ring was offered can determine the condition of the gift. e.g. Valentine’s Day and Christmas are nationally recognized as gift giving holidays. A ring offered in the form of a Christmas present will likely remain the personal property of the recipient in the event of a break up.
Tradition generally holds that if the betrothal fails because the man himself breaks off the engagement, the woman is not obliged to return the ring. Legally, this condition can be subject to either a modified or a strict fault rule. Under the former, the fiancé can demand the return of the ring unless he breaks the engagement. Under the latter, the fiancé is entitled to the return unless his actions caused the breakup of the relationship, the same as the traditional approach. However, a no-fault rule is being advanced in some jurisdictions, under which the fiancé is always entitled to the return of the ring. The ring only becomes the property of the woman when marriage occurs”
