Now you can choose your engagement and wedding rings right at the comfort of your home with Amazon. You get to choose exactly what you want — size, shape, setting, color — without the pressure and awkwardness of having a salesman hovering over you. And because there are no overhead costs, buying over Amazon saves you money could be spending on your other wedding needs.

Try it for yourself:

Open up Amazon's Create Your Own Ring page, and the first thing you'll encounter is a set of sliding bars to help you narrow your choices and select your diamond. Start by picking your diamond shape. Then you can further refine your search by adjusting the sliders to set a range for price, carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. You can click "see results" at any point in the process to view all the diamonds that match your criteria.

Once you've found and selected the diamond you want, you will move on to choose the setting. Here, you can narrow your choices to a particular style of setting or a specific metal type. The images will show you how your diamond will look mounted in the setting.

After you've chosen the setting that appeals to you, all that remains is to select the ring size, and then-you're ready to order!
