Cut: This is the most important factor to a diamond's sparkle. A diamond can have perfect clarity and colour grade, but still appear dull if it has a poor cut. A good cut is is neither too deep nor too shallow, and has balanced cuts within (look under the microscope).
Colour: The colour grades are from D to Z and the lower the grade, the more yellowish the diamond will appear.
Carat: This refers to a diamond's weight and not its apparent size on the ring. If you want to have a diamond that looks big, consider both cut and carat.
Clarity: This means if the diamond is clear and have imperfections (also known as inclusions). They can generally only be seen under the microscope and not by the naked eye.
In general, most people will go diamond that is of these characteristics:

Here are some of the rings I thought are nice, just for ideas only 😉
 |
| Wedding bands - I like the rose gold colour and the row of small diamonds on the ring! |
 |
| Wedding bands - another set of rose gold rings which are more matching in design, they're simple but elegant |
 |
| Wedding bands - You can consider silver bands with curve designs as well. I think rings with curve are nicer >< |
 |
| Wedding band & engagement ring - you can pair them up like this and wear both out on a daily basis |
 |
| Engagement ring - a classic piece; big diamond in the middle with crushed diamonds at the side |
