Are you thinking of getting engaged? Keep in mind as you plan your proposal that this will be one of the most significant moments in both your lives. Make it a day she will remember and cherish forever. The most memorable proposals rarely cost a lot of money, they are just well planned and thought out.
If you’re a romantic kind of guy, dine and romance her. If you’re a serious, formal kind of guy, make it a serious, formal proposal. If you’re both the daring type, make it bold and adventurous. Just be yourself and do something she’ll never forget.
Now, you’ll need an engagement ring to go with your proposal. Here are some ideas to consider when picking out the perfect engagement ring. Find a jewelry store you can trust and that works with you to achieve the best results for the right ring. Customer service is a big part of feeling comfortable and confident with your jeweler. You should have a jeweler that’s there to assist you before, during and after this important event.
If you want to surprise her, take a look at what type of jewelry she wears and what type of metal she prefers. Yellow gold, white gold and platinum are the most common choices. Try hinting around to figure out what style she likes. You could get some ideas from magazines or jewelry brochures. She may prefer a contemporary look, an intricate design or a simple classic look. If you’re not sure what style she wants, just buy her a solitaire diamond for your proposal and then go back later to pick out the perfect setting together.
A lot of women have a definite preference of what style they would like. Today it is common that a couple goes shopping together. This eliminates the guesswork for the man and the woman gets exactly what she wants.
A suggested guideline is that a person should purchase an engagement ring, which equals one to two months of his salary. Of course, you are not required to adhere to that standard, but it’s a useful guideline for your consideration.
Before you purchase a diamond ring, shop at a jewelry store that allows you to view the diamonds under a microscope. They should also carry a large engagement ring selection so you can get the right ring in the right budget. Enjoy the process.
