Things to Remember When Buying an Engagement Ring
As well as always having your budget in mind, don’t be afraid to consider a breadth of options. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy from your favorite jeweler, but having an idea of what you like will be very helpful, and you may refine your preferences by looking around at what’s on offer. By telling your jeweler what you want, he will have more of an idea of what to show you that will be appropriate.
Don’t be afraid to be bold. The era of solitaire rings marking the beginning and end of engagement ring choices is a thing of the past. Color contrasts are incredibly popular, and the modern convention for an anything-goes approach to style means that nothing is off-limits.
Finally, if you are buying online, then know your ring size. Thankfully this isn’t as complicated a procedure as it once was.
