| How to Find the Perfect Engagement RingPrevious | Next When it comes to choosing the perfect engagement ring, the choices on the
market can be overwhelming. There are literally tens of thousands of options to
choose from, so how do you narrow it down? If this is your first time purchasing
an engagement ring for your partner, you will want to do adequate research and
learn the characteristics that define what a diamond is. It is easy to walk into any
jewelry store and admire the rings, but if you do not know the characteristics that
surround the ring – and more importantly, the diamond – you really do not know
what you are buying.
Tips to find a Perfect Ring
Choosing a ring can be a daunting task, especially when you are facing several
different choices. In order to help narrow down your options, here are some tips
that will help you in your endeavor.
- The very first thing you must do is establish your budget. How much do
you want to pay for a ring and how will you pay for it? If you have good
credit you can apply for a store credit card with many jewelers. However,
this is definitely the more expensive option considering the interest that
you will be paying. The best thing to do is save up for a bit until you have
the money to pay upfront.
- Find out what your partner likes. The last thing you want to do is spend
money on an engagement ring that your partner will not like. Find out what
cut she finds most pleasing and whether she is conservative or flashy.
This will help you decide what size diamond to buy and in what cut.
- Shop around. You are likely to find very similar rings for significant price
differences. Do not simply settle for the first ring that you like, unless you
fall in love with the ring, or your partner does. Shopping around also gives
you leverage because some jewelers are willing to lower their prices to
meet that of competitors.
The most important part of shopping for the perfect engagement ring is to enjoy
the experience. With any luck, you will only have to do this once in a lifetime and
if it's a chore, it will show in the ring you choose. Instead, take your time and
follow the suggested tips. It won't be long before that special moment where you
propose arrives.
