Buying an engagement ring is something most of us will only
do once in a lifetime. An investment
such as an engagement ring is not something that should be taken lightly, it is
a large investment both financially and emotionally. Purchasing jewelry is something most of us
lack experience in. This makes the
process of finding a perfect ring for your bride to be trickier than most
purchases. How do you find the perfect
engagement ring while ensuring you are making a wise purchase that she will
love? Follow the steps below to help you
find the perfect ring for the love of your life.
· Decide
upon a budget: This is the most important step of the entire process and
should not be taken lightly. Without a
budget in mind you can be talked into anything. It is important to remember
that the cost of the stone and setting is not what matters most. There are many tales being shared that an
engagement ring should cost at least two months’ salary. This is no longer acknowledged as truth. Your budget should consider what you can
afford as well as what your bride to be will adore.
· Plan
ahead: Whatever you do never purchase an engagement ring without the money
in the bank. Buying an engagement ring
on credit is never a good idea. When it
comes to buying on credit a ring that originally costs two thousand dollars
costs thirty five hundred on credit.
That just doesn't make sense. If
she is the love of your life she will wait until you have saved enough money to
purchase the perfect ring. Start saving
the minute you think she could be the one.
· Take
notice: Check out the jewelry she wears on a daily basis over a period
time. You will want to buy something
that she is comfortable wearing and that goes with the pieces she wears on a
regular basis. If she wears super plain
jewelry and you buy a large splashy diamond it will most likely make her feel a
bit self-conscious wearing it. Buy
something that reflects her. She will
appreciate that you took notice of her style when choosing a ring she will wear
for eternity.
· Bring in
reinforcements: If you feel uncomfortable making a decision on your own ask
the people closest to her for their help.
Her best friend is a perfect inside source into what she really
wants. Most likely this is a topic that
they have discussed time and time again especially the longer you have dated.
· Find a
quality jeweler: A jeweler can come from anywhere. Find someone you are
comfortable talking with and that is patient when you ask questions. Consider online retailers as well. Many online jeweler retailers are able to
offer higher quality diamonds at lower prices due to the low overhead costs of
running an online jewelry store verse a major chain.
· Purchase
the ideal stone: When it comes to purchasing a stone be sure to fully
understand the four c’s of diamonds.
Based in the four c’s: cut, color, clarity and carat. Out of the four of
these, in my opinion, the most important is the cut and clarity. You want the diamond shape to be what your
bride to be desires and clarity has everything to do with how sparkly the
diamond is. Trust me a three quarter
carat diamond that is super clear is way better than a full carat that is dull. The sparkle of her diamond will be what
everyone notices before how big it is.
· Buy the
perfect setting: The perfect setting
will be based on her style. If you are
in question talk to the reinforcements.
Some women prefer settings with side diamonds while other prefer the
simplicity of a single diamond.
· Propose: This is all up to. Find a way to propose that will be memorable
to the two of you. Enjoy your happily
ever after!
