Sometimes, when we go to buy presents for the ones we love, we could use a little bit of help in the idea department. Then, there are other times where you know you should be seeking the advice of others – you know, like when you decide to buy your girlfriend an engagement ring! Yeah, you should definitely consider asking for some sage advice when this kind of a purchase is in order. There’s no shame in asking. It would only be a shame if you messed this up.
So, grab her little sister, call up her best friends, and ask your future mother-in-law to join you. You need to find the perfect diamond engagement ring that says everything you have ever wanted to say while simultaneously reflecting her unique personality and style. That’s a daunting task just thinking about it. Imagine if you didn’t have anyone there to help you and guide you along the way? You would be lost before you even stepped foot into the store!
Start with the basics: what does she like? Is she more of a simple, classic, and chic kind of lady? Or, does she prefer her life, taste in men, and fine jewelry a little on the wild side? Knowing your woman is key here, and we’re pretty sure that, if you have decided to marry her, you probably know her pretty well. However, it’s probably best to take her female entourage along with you, just to be safe. They may know something you don’t.
You see, a lot of smart women secretly confide in their closest female friends and relatives about what kind of ring they want when they are proposed to. Some will even go as far to go “faux” ring shopping with their friends. There’s nothing more fun for a girl than an afternoon in a jewelry store pretending to be looking for her engagement ring, but don’t let this freak you out. It all benefits you greatly in the end.
When you call on one of these friends to help you, they can lead you directly to the exact ring! No browsing, no searching, no hours spent shopping. You can get the real deal right then and there. If this isn’t exactly how it works out for you, then at least you have some really solid advice to help you get started. A starting point is always your best bet. Try and know things like her ring size and your overall budget. Any little thing will help you get in and out and on your way to proposing in no time.
