Choosing the engagement ring for your fiance can be difficult. It may be hard to know exactly what kind of taste she has. But there are a lot of ways to help make the process easier for you.
First think about size. If you can take a ring she already owns with you to match sizes do that. If that’s not an option asking a close friend or family member that is a similar height and weight may help. Remember it’s always better to buy it a size or half size bigger so she can have it sized down.
Hopefully your fiance has given you hints as to what she wants and likes in her jewelry, but if she has not, don’t worry. Try to bring along a close friend or family member, they often have talked about this type of thing a lot, so they’ll be a great guide. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t. Your fiance is very close to you, think about the favorite pieces of clothes she has and what those may say about her style type. Pick something you know she’ll love, not just something you like. Once you see that special ring, you know that it is for her, trust your instincts.
Remember engagement rings come in gold, rose gold, platinum, and white gold. White gold and platinum are silver, but they are much higher quality than sterling silver rings you may see. Rose gold is a deeper color than standard gold, it is almost a brass color. If your fiance has jewelry she wears often, look for that same color, it’s probably what she wants.
Jewelry is often mostly adorned with diamonds. Some cultures choose to have the engagement ring be a center diamond with two of her birthstone gems on the side in a smaller size. It symbolizes blessings to the couple. Also look for rings like a center blue sapphire or gem framed in diamonds, it is a popular style and may be something your fiance would like. Before you shop figure out her favorite color and her birthstone as this may help you pick.
Square stones are also called emerald, cushion or princess cuts. A round stone is popular, a stand alone center diamond is called a solitaire style and is most popular. There is also the marquis cut which is an oval shape that is pointed at each tip and regular rounded oval shaped stones.
Money you have to spend is important to consider. Platinum is often more expensive than gold. Try to spend money on a ring with details and more sparkle, like a smaller center diamond with smaller diamonds detailing the rest of the ring. Also using a gemstone as the center stone and adding smaller diamonds as the frame to it may cut costs but still be beautiful.
When buying the engagement ring for your love it is important to remember it is all about what she wants and would love to wear forever. Your love is the important thing here, not money or diamonds.
