Getting engaged is a very big deal. There’s shopping for engagement rings and venues and cakes and music, wedding dresses, invitations and the list goes on and on! However, it all starts with that ring, doesn’t it? Don’t get stressed out about the ring, just relax and ask yourself these simple questions and you will be on track to delving into the rest of the planning soon.
How much can I spend? The budget has to be the first thing to be determined. Don’t let anyone talk you into going higher than you can afford to go. Likewise, don’t sell yourself short and regret not spending that extra hundred for the ideal ring. Remember that you cannot measure love with the size of a diamond, but you also don’t want to disappoint. If your partner wants a carat, make sure you hold out for one, even if it means postponing the big question.
What style am I going for? Gold or platinum? If you go for gold, 14K to 18K settings will give your ring the strength it needs for daily use. If you really need a strong setting, Platinum is the best you’ll find and well worth its price.
You’ll also have a chance to decide on if you want other gem accents. Do you want a solitaire? Pear or princess? To find out what your partner likes, simply ask a best friend or sneak a peek at other rings she owns to see if there’s a preferred style.
Finally, be sure to shop around. Talk to a few jewelers before you decide on who you trust. It’s a big deal, remember?
