Choosing an Engagement Ring

The traditional method would be for the future groom to purchase the engagement ring, presenting it to his sweetheart at the time the proposal is made.  When choosing a ring, chances are that you and your significant other have discussed or looked at rings at one time or another.  This should provide you with good ideas on what she likes.                         

If not, then you can gain important clues by looking at the type of jewelry your girlfriend typically wears.  Additionally, consider her physical build, style of clothing, and even her occupation.  While the market is flooded with thousands of gorgeous designs, the simple guideline below provides some options:                        

   Simple – She prefers simple jewelry, wears casual clothing, and has a laidback personality.  In this case, a nice solitaire with a thin band would be ideal.

   Unique – She prefers more ornate and unique pieces of jewelry, loves trendy clothing, and has a fun and outgoing personality.  A vintage or customized engagement ring would be a good consideration.

 •  Conservative – She prefers beautiful jewelry but nothing flashy, works in the business world, and tends to be more on the conservative side.  An antique or wide-band engagement ring with a diamond or colored stone would be a good choice.

  Tall or Large – Because she is a larger built woman, she can carry larger jewelry better than a woman of small stature could.  Therefore, a large solitaire or a multi-stone band with or without a solitaire would be gorgeous.

 If you are apprehensive in making the right decision, you can always talk to your girlfriend’s mother, sister, or best friend and have them do a little sleuthing for you.

Another consideration is the size engagement ring that will be purchased.  While rings can be resized if needed, the best option would be to know as much as you can so that as you slip the ring on your girlfriend’s hand, it will fit perfectly, meaning she can wear it immediately.  To determine her size, the right opportunity needs to be presented.                          

For example, if she wears a ring on her wedding ring finger, when she removes it to shower, go swimming, or fix dinner, then you can take a thin strip of paper and wrap around the interior of the ring.  Either tearing the paper to size of marking the size with a pen, you can then take it to a jeweler that can then help select the appropriate size.  If she does not wear a ring on that finger, then again, the mother, sister, or friend would be the right people to help.
