From InStyle's April 13th edition of "Style School":

It’s amazing how many soon-to-be grooms dash into the engagement ring buying process without much research. So if you know your guy is easily seduced by a sales pitch and want to avoid a Carrie-Aidan ugly engagement ring fiasco, then Ring Tutor (ringtutor.com) is your new best friend.

Not only does this new site provide knowledgeable counsel on purchasing diamonds, but it also does the shopping for you (or your guy)! Each client is given their own personal ring tutor that's available to discuss all the particulars from exactly what an Asscher cut is to how flaws exist that aren’t visible to the eye. They also have a coterie of gemologists who will evaluate diamonds your fiancé's select to make certain you’re both getting your money’s worth.

Their star feature? The Hint Hint tool, which is perfect for the girl whose fiancé’s taste isn’t quite on par with hers. Send a quick e-mail to your beloved telling him exactly what you hope to receive including the all important ring size, without actually having a strained conversation with him about it.

To experience Ring Tutor’s all-encompassing diamond knowledge, visit ringtutor.com.
