Choosing Engagement Rings

If you are choosing engagement rings then that means that you are about to take the plunge and ask perhaps the biggest question – with the largest consequences – that you will ask in your life. This is a highly important task then, and the ring you choose will play a large part in just how successful you are. It is not then a process to be taken lightly. Here we will look at how to choose the best engagement rings and how to increase your chances of getting a 'yes'.

The first thing to consider is precisely how much you are going to spend on the ring. This is a matter for serious consideration as it can almost be seen as putting a price on your relationship. Fortunately there is a general guideline which says that you should be spending 1-3 months' salary on the ring. Decide how comfortable you are financially and whether you can afford to spend that much on the ring, and then decide on precisely how much you are going to part with for that jewelry.

If you are spending this much though then that's all the more reason to get the ring right. Furthermore this is a ring that you partner will hopefully be wearing on a 24/7 basis. They may wear it for the rest of their life or they may choose to wear it just as a place holder until they get their wedding ring. Either way though they will be wearing it a lot and it will then likely become a family heirloom and be passed on through the subsequent families.

This means that most importantly you need to choose engagement rings that your partner will appreciate – that is to their tastes and that they will like. Don't worry too much about the done thing, about trends, or about what you think you should do but rather think about what they have hinted at during your relationship, what you know them to like and what their friends say. Look at the rest of their jewelry collection and try to spot whether they prefer gold or silver – most women have a preference and won't wear much of the other (they may even be allergic) so choosing appropriately is important. At the same time try to find out if they like large flamboyant jewelry or whether they prefer their jewelry to be more subtle and understated. Look for a design that mimics this.

While their personal preference is the number one concern however, also important is choosing a ring that will be practical to wear on a daily basis. Thus you should try to pick engagement rings that do not protrude too much, and that will still allow easy movement. It's also very important to make sure you get the ring size correct – you'll want your girlfriend to wear the ring right away and if the ring doesn't fit they either won't be able to, or they'll be at risk of losing it.
