Shape of her hand should be his guide in selecting a flattering. ring. The round diamond,° shown here, is the most popular cut for engagement diamonds, and looks well on any shape of hand. Her Hand Is Guide To Right Ring .For the young man plan- ning to "surprise" his girl with an engagement dia- mond this Christmas, it's ira- portant to know diamonds — but he also has' to know his girl. Does she insist on the best? If she does, the choice might be a small flawless diamond, icy white. But if she's a practical gal' who balances quantity , with quality, a larger diamond at the same price is just as beautiful, with a few natural imperfections and perhaps a tinge of color. Does she prefer .the tai- lored look? if so, she'll pre- fer her diamond in a classic four -prong setting, simple and lovely. If she likes frills and lace, she'll like the "illusion" mounting, where the blaze of metal blends with the stone's brilliance (and makes it look larger) . She'll like other, more ornate settings, too. He's held her hand but what kind of hand is it? If she has slender tapered fingers, she'll like the mar- quise diamond, which looks like a boat with points at each end. Does she have long fingers — an artistic hand? The pear-shaped diamond, wide at Orie end and tapering to a point, will . suit her. A plump hand, or one with short fingers, is slenderized by the rectangular emeralcl- cut diafnond. _.A safe choice is the round diamond, often called the brilliant cut. This is right for every hand, and in fact it is. the nlost.,popular cut for en- gagement rings. What about price? The qualities of a diamond carat weight, cut, clarity and color — determine the price. A reputable jeweler is a diamond expert, who will be happy to explain grada- tions in color and brilliance of each stone. Best buy for a given amount of money is a soli- taire, or single -stone ring. For the. same money, a ring set with side stones will naturally have a somewhat smaller center stone. However, the side stones — usually, small brilliants or baguettes — add over-all sparkle when the center stone is small. Diamonds Fit In Santa's. Budget Diamonds are for giving especially at Christmas, the most gift -giving time of all. To put diamonds within 'every Santa's price range, jewelry designers today are combining diamonds with other stones, in rings, pins and earrings.
