subject: 3 Tips For Choosing the Perfect Engagement Ring [print this page] When there are so manydiamond rings to choose from, selecting an engagement ring for the one you love can often seem like a daunting task. Check out our top 3 tips for selecting a ring. We're sure they'll make your ring shopping a much more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Know her style
If you know what her style is, it will be much easier for you to choose a ring and get assistance from jewellers. A good idea is to look through the jewellery she already has. Take notes of coloured stones or diamonds or a combination of the two, what sort of metal she likes (yellow gold or white gold or platinum) and the style of her jewellery pieces. Does she like dainty, small pieces or large chunky pieces? The engagement ring should compliment her existing jewellery, not clash with it so taking note of these points is important. You'd be surprised how much you can find out about someone simply by looking into their jewellery box.
It is also good to take note of any hints she might be giving you. Think carefully about the reactions to certain rings she has when you are looking at jewellery shop windows together. A casual 'this looks nice' will help you determine whether you are on the right track or not.
Know her ring size
Popping the question is nerve-racking enough without having to worry about whether or not the ring will fit.
Here are a few tips for getting her ring size without her noticing. Firstly, when she takes her rings off, note which one is on what finger and get the sizes of each one. Even if she does not wear a ring on her ring finger you can often estimate better if you know the size of the other fingers. This is the most straight forward way of obtaining her ring size.
However, if you are a little more game, you can always ask her friends to discretely make her try on theirrings and tell them to let you know her ring size.
Shop Around
One of the most important tips is to shop around. Prices can vary from place to place. A good place to start searching for the perfect ring is online. Many reputable jewellery shops have websites that carry clear images and details of their rings. This is great in the early stages of choosing a ring, or if you are time poor. If you know what you are looking for this is also a great option.
Another clear advantage of shopping online is not having the pressures of a sales assistant in the store with you. You can browse at your own pace, see what is available and make the decision about the style of ring you want and where you want to purchase it from. Then, if you would like further assistance you can always visit our jewellery stores for some friendly advice.
Asking the one you love to marry you should be one of the best days of your life. I hope our tips have helped take some of the uncertainty around the type of ring suitable for your future fiance.
