Finding the Perfect Engagement Ring

By Mary Watson


You may be having the idea of making your girl cry upon making a proposal. Though that simple 'will you marry me' question is enough to touch her heart, it is still the best to couple it with a stunning engagement ring that you have obtained after going through a lot of things that you have considered. Buying an engagement ring could be one of the best purchases that you have ever made in your life. It is very important for you to succeed on this task and reward yourself with that priceless look from your partner's face by keeping some important things in mind.

Research and Planning

Since your partner has no idea about your upcoming proposal, you have enough time to make a plan of what you are going to do. This includes the kind and appearance of the engagement ring. When it comes on choosing the perfect band, it is necessary for it to match her taste to double out the surprise. Your proposal will surely become one of the most cherished moments in her life. Study more about her wants and try to trick her into saying what she wants from an engagement ring without giving her an idea of the proposal. You can also ask one of her friends to bring her to a jewelry store, and open up a topic about engagement ring so that she can point out the exact jewelry that she wants.

Make a study about different types and styles for an engagement ring. Know the terms and what needs to be checked when it comes to purchasing one. Band, setting, carat, and gemstone are some of the important terms that you should be aware of before stepping inside a store. You also have to prepare a considerable amount of money as engagement rings could be very expensive. Some are saying that a ring for an engagement should cost two month of a man's salary. It is up to you whether you will follow this but the important thing here is you know how to pick the best ring for your partner.

Buying the Ring from a Store

After you're done with a little of self-education and research, the next thing that you would need to do is to find or choose a good jeweler. There is no need for you to go to a high-end jewelry store as there are many jewelers that can give you exactly what you need. You can ask your friends to refer you to a jeweler who gives excellent advice when it comes to different kinds of rings. The first thing that you would have to look into is the band. If you researched it well, you'd be aware that it is the circular part of the ring. Choose between white gold, platinum and yellow gold colors. Depending on the usual activity of your lady, select an appropriate setting as well.

The next thing that you have to look into is the stone. Diamonds are the usual choices of women but it is safer to rely on your partner's wants than to assume so that you can please her more. When it comes to diamonds, you have to be aware about the 4Cs - carat, clarity, color and cut. If there will be a 5th C, then that would be defined as the cost. If you want a real diamond on a ring and you have limited budget, you could go for a 1 carat. Other options would be a cubic zirconia, lab diamonds and a tiny one. After you have checked the durability, quality and visualizing on how it would look like, get ready to swipe that card or cold cash and be ready to kneel down in front of your partner.
