For men, choosing an engagement ring is one of the most important steps in preparing for a proposal. An engagement ring is a symbol of love and commitment that will remind your partner of your relationship every single day. Here are some tips on how to choose the right engagement ring that will make an impression.
GET TO KNOW HER STYLE
The first step is to carefully observe what style of jewellery your partner likes. Her current jewellery, fashion preferences, and tastes can give you valuable ideas. Keep in mind whether she prefers yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or platinum. Furthermore, if she prefers jewellery with bold gems or a simple and elegant design.
SET A BUDGET
It is important to have a clear idea of how much you are willing to spend on an engagement ring. The price of rings can vary significantly depending on the type of material, the type of central stone - whether it’s natural or lab-grown, and also the number and type of side stones. Setting a budget will make your choice easier.
GEMSTONE
A natural diamond is a traditional choice for an engagement ring. There are also other beautiful gems, such as sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. Choose a stone that has a special meaning for both of you or is tied to an important moment in your relationship. Also, think about whether you prefer the natural origin of the stones or the laboratory one.
GEMSTONE CUT
The cut of a gemstone directly affects its brilliance and price. There are many types of cuts - round, princess (square), oval, emerald (rectangular), and many others. Choose a cut that your partner likes.
GEM SETTING
The setting of the central gemstone affects its overall appearance. You can choose from a simple solitaire, a design with side gems, special tailor-made designs, or a design with stones all over the ring. Choose the setting that most flatters the centre stone.
RING SIZE
Getting the ring size right is key. Find out her finger size, ideally from someone in her family or friends, or use one of her rings as a reference.
CONSULT A JEWELLER
Finally, consult an experienced jeweller. An expert can give you further advice on choosing the right material, design, and quality of gemstones.
