Things to Expect When You Buy an Engagement Ring

By September 30, 2020No Comments

The time has come.  You have been sharing your life with your special someone, and you are now ready to take things to the next level and get married! You plan the perfect proposal, the perfect date and time, and the only thing left is to buy the perfect engagement ring.

Engagement rings are a one-time investment, so if you think buying a ring is just like shopping for a pair of shoes, think again! Though a diamond ring is certainly perfect for an engagement, many men will attest to the difficulty of finding the perfect ring to buy.

When you begin shopping for an engagement ring, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Listen to what she wants. Girls love to talk about the things they want, and oftentimes, these are hints for you to take note of and remember. If she is talking about the perfect ring for her finger, pay attention to what she says she likes.
  • Ask her friends. Her best girlfriends can be a huge help if you have no idea what to look for. Just make sure you swear them to secrecy, so it doesn’t ruin the surprise. Ask her best friends for advice on what they think fits her personality, and what they know she will like.
  • Consult your friends on their experiences with buying their engagement rings. If you have friends who have already gotten engaged or married, do not hesitate to ask them for advice. Their experience can be helpful to you, and if they made any mistakes, you can learn from them, so you know what to avoid.
  • Remember, not all diamonds are the same. No diamond is alike, and they come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and ring bands. With all these options, it can become overwhelming, and you might find yourself getting confused. Even though the decision may not be easy, just stay focused and know that the perfect ring for her is out there
  • Do some research. You will be investing a lot of money into a diamond ring, so you need to educate yourself on diamonds, so you can be sure you are getting what you pay for. Diamonds are characterized by their 4 C’s: color, carat, clarity, and cut. Keep those in mind when shopping.
  • Know your budget and stick to it. Setting a budget is important, so you don’t end up overspending and finding yourself in a tight financial situation. When you enter a jewelry store and start seeing all of the options available (along with the marketing tactics of the salespeople), it can be tempting to stray from your budget. Just remember that there are beautiful diamond rings in every price range, so there is no need to go beyond your means.
