How To Find The Right Engagement Ring

When it comes to engagement rings, most women already know what they want, it is something they have been thinking about for a long time. However, it can be difficult for the person buying the ring to know which is the right style to go for. Most people find themselves outside their comfort zone when buying an engagement ring, there seem to be so many options.

Choosing your symbol of love needs to be approached with some romanticism and some practical thinking. You want your partner to love the ring, but you also need to make sure it is good value for money.

Know Her Lifestyle

Hopefully, the engagement ring you buy will remain on your partner's hand for the rest of her life. Due to this, you need to consider her lifestyle and day to day activities. For athletic women, a smaller, more minimalistic ring may be better. This means there is less to damage during sports or exercise, or she would have to remove the ring during these workouts. If your partner works with people or is hands-on, such as a nurse, chef or landscaper, you might want to choose a ring that does not have elevated setting and diamonds, as these might get in the way. For the women who like to garden or create art, a simpler ring would be better, as it would be easier to clean.

Know Her Style

Personal style plays a massive role in deciding on an engagement ring. Take note of what she likes to wear to express herself, if she prefers a more elegant style, or something simplistic. If your partner likes to be more unique, look at a gemstone ring or a diamond cut in an unusual shape. You can also choose to combine different metals to create a more individual looking ring.

Know Her Ring Size

This can be a tricky thing to achieve, but try to know your partner's ring size before purchasing the engagement ring. Some rings can be difficult to resize once set, and it can be quite anticlimactic to propose with a ring that isn’t the right size, only to have to send it to the jeweler to resize it instead of showing off your new celebration to the world.

Know Your Budget

Engagement rings do not come cheap. While they are the ultimate symbol of love and devotion, they can also be a great investment. You should be able to find an engagement ring for every budget, but be sure to work out your own affordable budget beforehand and try to stick to it as much as possible. Remember, you will have a wedding to pay for soon!

Protect Your Investment

Make sure that you purchase an engagement ring with a warranty or some insurance. It is a really big investment, and losing it without having insurance can set you back drastically. Make sure to include the cost of insurance or an additional warranty into your budget. Things happen, the ring might be stolen, damaged, or lost down the kitchen sink.

Halo Engagement Rings

Halo engagement rings really are wonderful creations. There are so many variations to be found, each made to suit a special someone’s unique style and individuality. There are so many different factors to play with when creating or choosing a halo engagement ring, a single or mix of metals, the shape of the diamond and how many bands of surrounding pavé set diamonds you want. Halo engagement rings really give you the opportunity to fine-tune the ring to be perfect for the person you love.

Something unique and thoughtful always goes down better than something generic, so spend the time searching for the halo engagement ring that you think will suit your partner best. Get to know her style and her lifestyle to help you make a perfect choice!

You always have the option of swapping out a center diamond for a colored gemstone to make the ring even more unique – the options are endless!
