1. Diamonds Are A Must

Looking for a durable ring doesn't mean compromising on the sparkle of your ring. Maintaining the shine and brilliance of your diamond engagement ring is a must, hence choose a diamond size that you feel appropriate for your lifestyle. 

2. Setting Type

There are more than 10 types of Diamond Settings when it comes to jewelry making. Each type has its unique features, however there are a few settings that provide a really strong hold to the diamond! For example; in a Bezel Setting engagement ring, a protective metal rim circles around the center stone, that protects it's edges and significantly reduces the risk of the diamond being chipped or damaged. 

3. Stronger Prong

 One of the most adored types of setting is Prong Setting. Tiny metal pillars (prong) strike of out the band, that hold the diamond together. These segments help the diamond rise to the top of the engagement ring, allowing it to radiate it's maximum brilliance. 

Since the prong setting is widely preferred, we would suggest to choose a ring with six prongs instead of four prongs. The two extra metal pillars, add a great amount of stability and protection to the overall structure of the ring. 

4. Size Of The Band

The band of your diamond engagement ring plays a vital role in determining the ring's durability. A wide band would require more metal, which increases the overall strength of the ring. Moreover, it can endure alot more wear and tear. If your partner is an individual who is always on the go, choose a wider band, engagement ring.

5. Smoother Edges

Diamonds with sharp points and corners, such as princess, pear, and marquise cuts, can snag on clothing and hair more easily. Because of their pointed edges, they are more prone to chipping off.

Round and oval-shaped diamonds are the best shapes for an active lifestyle because their smooth edges are less likely to snag on things, and can withstand being knocked around better.

These are the factors that we feel should be taken into serious consideration while picking your engagement ring. However, buying jewelry, is an extremely emotinal experience. Hence, feel free to tweak around and see what's best for your partner.
