When considering asking someone to marry you often one of
the first items to consider is an engagement ring purchase. So many things go
into making sure you purchase a ring she will adore for a lifetime. There are some basic steps to fool when
embarking on this magnificent journey.
Here are some basic things to consider before stepping foot into a
jewelry store.
First things first, consider how much you are willing to
budget for this expense. Traditionally people have thought that the ring you
choose for your bride to be is to cost the equivalent of two months’
salary. This is traditional approach is
not necessarily the approach all grooms to be take to heart. Set a reasonable budget that is realistic to
what you personally can afford. Remember
if your purchase a ring on credit you will have that debt on top of wedding
debt starting of your married life. It
is best to wait until you have saved enough to purchase the ring of your dreams
for her.
Your soon to be bride will wear this one piece of jewelry
for the rest of her life. It is
important that you put a lot of time into researching her likes and dislikes
when it comes to jewelry. Of course the
more inconspicuous you make this the better the surprise in the end. Often times the best advice will come from
people close to her. You may consider
enlisting help from her parents or close friends to help you by asking them to
take her out on the town and accidentally meander into a jeweler. She is for sure to be drawn right to the
styles she considers worthy.
Another thing to consider is your taste. Remember that you will most likely be
purchasing matching wedding bands later on down the road. If you despise gold jewelry it is best not to
purchase a gold engagement ring. These
are the little aspects of choosing an engagement ring that need to be
considered before making the purchase.
Popular and unique engagement ring options for contemporary
brides range quite a bit. One option to
consider is the simple, classic single solitaire diamond engagement ring. This is often the safest purchase if you are
completely unsure of what style your bride would like the best. This option allows her to add a frame for the
ring of her choice.
Another option that is also a popular choice is a single
diamond set in a setting with minor decorations. The main characteristic of the ring is still
the large center diamond however designs are added around the ring as
decoration. The ring could entail more
diamonds or other gemstones that your bride is fond of.
On top of antique engagement ring settings and the new haloengagement rings that are present and popular a classic setting is a trilogy
ring. This is one of the personal
favorites for brides in my family. The
three stone setting represents the past-present and future of your
relationship. The most common cut of
stones within this setting are solitaire.
The bottom line in choosing a piece of jewelry for your
bride to be is to make sure you have added thought to the purchase. Every bride appreciated this. Also be honest with yourself. If you can tell immediately that she is not
absolutely in love with your choice take her and together look at the
options. In the end most times than not
she will get to the store and realize you did indeed make the right choice and
will walk out with the same ring she walked in with.
