If you’ve finally decided to propose to your partner, as early as now you should start looking for a ring you’re going to give her when you pop the big question. Yes, it’s true that there are plenty of stunning diamond engagement rings, but you’re going to have that roller coaster feeling when you’re not even sure which one to pick.
To help you deal with what you feel right now, here are a few things that nobody tells you about buying an engagement ring (and some tips):
You’ll listen to your partner more. Every time she talks about jewellery, you’ll notice that you’ve become more interested to listen. Listen to her intently so you will know what style she prefers. You can accompany her to the mall whenever she goes shopping and when she passes by a jewellery store, check which styles caught her eye. She’ll surely check out a certain collection and from that, you can get hints about her preferences. If you’re having a hard time on this, you can always ask her family or her best friends. Just make sure to ask them to keep things a secret.
You’ll find other men who’ve been through the same situation. Talk to your closest friends who’ve successfully proposed to their partners. You can ask them for some creative ideas on how to propose and even ask them how they picked a ring that made their partners say yes. Your close friends may even accompany you to a reputable jeweller and help you choose.
Diamonds look the same. Yes, at first, you will think diamonds look the same but, THEY ARE NOT. You’ll notice that they’re all shiny and sparkly – which makes you confused on which one to pick. Don’t get carried away by all that sparkle. Never go for the first one you see. Shop around to get the best deals.
Knowing about the 4Cs is vital. If you want to make sure that the ring is perfect for your partner (and for your budget), it is essential to learn about the 4Cs. Study about it before you shop as this is a way for you to get a full understanding about the ring which will then help you make the right decision.
Those are the 4 most common things that nobody tells you about buying an engagement ring. We hope this article can help you have successfully choose a ring and propose to your partner.
