STEP 1. Establish your budget.
According to the generally accepted convention, a man should spend roughly two months' salary on a Diamond Engagement Ring. While this guideline is certainly not a law, polls show that many men agree with this spending recommendation, and in the minds of many women it has become an accepted standard. We recommend that you don't commit yourself to a dollar amount right away-familiarize yourself with the various options available before you decide how much to spend.

STEP 2. Learn about Diamonds.
