Congratulations! You've found the love of your life, and you're ready to take the next step in your relationship. Whether you're proposing or being proposed to, getting engaged is a big deal — and it can often be very stressful. However, if you've been dreaming about this moment since you were five years old, there's no need to be anxious. For all their glitzy glory and price tags that don't include zeroes, engagement rings are still just pieces of jewelry: they're meant to symbolize your love for another person and show them how much they mean to you. We've compiled some tips on choosing a ring that will make sure yours is perfect for your future spouse-to-be (or yourself).
You know what you want, and so does your partner. You're now ready to go shopping for the perfect ring. But before you do, remember to get a second opinion. The jeweler should offer free sizing services (meaning they'll resize the ring if it doesn't fit), so don't be afraid to ask questions about how much that will cost if things go poorly down the road. And make sure you have time on your side—you won't want this process rushed, because rushing into an engagement without thinking through every detail is a recipe for disaster.
Rings are expensive! Don't settle for less than you deserve just because it's "on sale." If there's anything about an engagement ring that isn't exactly what you wanted but would have been okay with anyway (like its color or clarity), then don't buy it . It may seem like saving money now will save time later on when it comes time to resell the diamond; but trust us: This is not true! You'll end up wasting more money trying to sell off everything that wasn't specifically tailored just right in order to recoup some of those initial savings than if you would've just paid attention in the first place instead of taking advantage of an unrealistic price drop at checkout time....
When you’re shopping for your second engagement ring, make sure the size is right. This can be a little tricky because there are different sizes of rings, diamonds and hands.
The size of the diamond is measured in carats (ct). The bigger diamonds are more expensive but they may not fit on smaller fingers as well as smaller diamonds.
The size of your finger should also be considered when buying an engagement ring. If you have very small fingers then it makes sense to choose something with a smaller carat weight so that the stone looks proportionate to your hand size. On the other hand if you have large hands then going for a larger stone might look better than having something too small that looks like it could fall off your finger at any moment!
Time it right. When thinking about the perfect time to buy an engagement ring for your partner, consider the season and if there are special occasions coming up that might warrant buying a new ring. For example, if you’re getting married in June or July, you may want to wait until after your wedding (or at least after your honeymoon) before purchasing any jewelry—and certainly not during one of those months! However, if you have something else coming up soon like an anniversary or birthday, it might make sense to buy her an engagement ring now so she can wear it on those occasions instead of having to wait until later on down the line.
Nail down the timing of the proposal itself. A question many couples wrestle with is whether they should propose at night or in broad daylight—or even over dinner or during some other activity where there will be plenty of witnesses around… maybe even including little kids! This can also be affected by what time of year it is: If there are holidays approaching (Christmas comes around every December!) then maybe don't propose during Thanksgiving dinner when everyone's too busy focusing on turkey sandwiches instead!
The shape you choose should be based on your engagement ring and the style of setting. The most common diamond shapes are round, oval, pear, emerald and heart. Marquise cuts are also popular because they add drama to the look of a diamond without being too large for most fingers.
Round cut diamonds sparkle with brilliance and fire that can only be found in nature's own creation—a live stone. Round stones also offer excellent value because they display maximum brilliance from all viewing angles!
There are a lot of settings, so let's go over some key terms:
Purchasing an engagement ring is more than just finding a sparkly accessory -- it's a token of your love and commitment to your partner. And while there are plenty of ways to do this right, it's important that you approach the process with the right mindset.
You might not think about it, but picking out the perfect engagement ring means doing some serious research on the type of diamond you want and how much money you're willing to spend. It also means understanding what makes someone else happy while keeping in mind that they're probably not going to care as much about what kind of ring they have as much as they care about how thoughtful their partner was when buying it for them.
What's the point of buying a second ring if it doesn't show your commitment? The best advice I can give is to take your time and choose something amazing. You don't have to spend a fortune, but do invest in quality, as well as beauty that will last over time. Remember that this ring is not only about you; it's also about your partner's taste and style preferences so that both parties can wear something they love!
