Engagement Rings : The Basics Explained

If you want the engagement ring that you buy for your loved one to be one she really loves, you are best off just asking her to pick it out for herself, but the surprise factor or the price you are willing to pay might be an issue, so you may well have to make the choice yourself. If you do decide to pick out the engagement ring yourself without discussing it with your partner, make sure you consider their tastes and preferences so that you get one that she will genuinely like. To get a better idea of what your partner likes, consider the jewelry they currently own, and what type of jewelry they wear the most, and use that as a basis when selecting a ring. As an absolute minimum you need to establish whether she prefers vintage, classic looking jewelry or contemporary looking, bold jewelry. Think about any shopping trips the two of you have been on and if she has ever showed interest in a certain type of ring or type of jewelry.

If you want some confirmation of what styles your partner currently likes, then next time you are out shopping take a subtle detour to a jewelry store. If she asks, just say you are looking for something for yourself, giving her the time to take in the selection and start making choices and suggestions for herself. Before you leave ask her if she saw anything she liked and make a mental note of her answer. In the event that you are at a total loss as to what to get, just get a diamond ring, as they are universally loved. Although you may think that buying a diamond engagement ring will be too expensive, there are some options available that make it affordable. With a bit of investigation, you can find the ideal diamond in your price range, as they are graded in terms of how they are cut, what color and carat they are, and how clear they are. You can get some great deals on ones that are slightly flawed, where the flaws are not visible to the naked eye.

You also need to figure out the size of the ring you want to get her, so that it will fit well on her finger. Try to check out one of her rings, ideally the one that is on the finger she will be wearing your engagement ring on, and see what size it is. If that fails, you could attempt to size up her fingers in other ways, like measuring a glove she owns, or even jokingly drawing around her hands / fingers on a piece of paper. In the event that you get an engagement ring, but something is not right about it, there is nothing to it, since you can just change it or get it resized, and there will be no harm done. All you have to do is give her the ring, and a few days later just mention that she can make changes to the ring if she wants to, and that it will not hurt your feelings.
