What Kind of Engagement Ring
Does She Like? Often
I am asked the question, "How do
I figure out what kind of engagement ring she
likes?
This can be a tough question and there is
a lot of pressure when buying an engagement
ring.
In most cases, this is the first time you are
buying an engagement ring. It's an expensive
purchase that you only want to make 1 time in
your life. And of course, since she will be wearing
this the rest of her life, you want to make sure
she likes her engagement ring.
Rest assured that you are not alone in this
journey and there are some good ways to figuring
out what type of engagement ring she will like.
Put On The Engagement Ring "Thinking Cap"
I know it is tough for some people, but your
mental power can come in big here. Think long
and hard about your soon to be wife. Think about
all her likes in life. Does she like things simple?
Is she complex? Does she command attention in
public or is she more reserved. These questions
and more can give you a general idea of what
to look for in an engagement ring.
While you are out and about in everyday life,
keep your eyes pealed for opportunities. When
around her friends or other women, ask her what
she thinks of their engagement rings.
You are thinking of buying a ring for your sister
or mom, ask her to help you out. "Coincidently" choose
a jeweler who has engagement rings for sale.
She will, without fail, end up at the engagement
rings section.
Be Sneaky!
Buying an engagement ring gives you an excuse
to be sneaky. When she is not around, sneak into
her jewelry box and have a look around. What
other types of rings does she have? What is the
general theme or style of jewelry she wears?
Does she have mostly yellow gold or white gold?
A quick note on gold. I usually recommend 18k
white gold for engagement rings. White gold brings
out the shine in a diamond better than yellow
gold and also matches more outfits. White gold
is also easier to work with and more durable
than platinum. Finally, for most buyers, 18k
white gold is more cost effective.
If you can't get into her jewelry box easily,
ask her brother or sister or friend to have a
look at her jewelry. Ask them to get her finger
size as well.
Most women love to shop, especially for diamond
engagement rings. Ask one of her friends to conveniently
stop by different jewelry shops to look at engagement
rings.
Take a good look at the engagement rings that
her friends and family have. There is a good
chance that she will want a diamond ring of the
same carat size.
Can I Just Ask Her?
If you are still having a tough time choosing
an engagement ring and you feel your woman isn't
the kind who will get upset if you ask her opinion,
then you can simply ask her to go with you to
look at engagement rings.
You would be surprised to know that about 50%
of the engagement rings I sell, the gentleman
brought his future bride to pick it out.
Good Luck!
I do recommend you invest some amount of time
in the suggestions above. The more effort you
invest in it, the more personal and valuable
you will feel the ring is, and it will show when
you go to present it!
