Planning a wedding proposal means dealing with adrenaline rushes, gushes of romance and overwhelming surges of excitement, nervousness and love. With emotions driving you crazy, you do not want to get carried away and miss out on the perfect engagement ring for your partner’s finger. Sticking to these guidelines could ease the process for you!
- Always, always, and always start by setting a budget to facilitate all the decisions ahead. Right from the shape, carats, and stone to the choice of metal.
- Understand what your partner likes. Is there a particular shape they desire? How important is the size of the stone to them? Do they prefer the conventional choice – diamonds, or is there another stone that suits their personality better?
- The carat cuts of diamonds can vastly impact their prices. While round cuts can lodge big holes in the pocket, options like pear, square and marquise are comparatively friendlier.
- These days it is a common practice to ensure that engagement rings and wedding rings complement each other. Back in the day, gold wedding rings were conventionally picked, alongside silver and even platinum (which is considerably expensive). These days rose gold is trending. What is it that your partner would choose? Something old school or something more modern. Something you might want to consider.
- People generally wear engagement rings So you might also want to consider the amount and type of daily activities your better halves might indulge in. Remember, some metals are easily scratched, and you might not want those stealing the charm away.
While you might have realised there are several considerations when it comes to selecting engagement rings. It's simpler than it seems. It’s just a matter of setting a budget, getting the size right, and having a thorough understanding of your partner. Voila!
