The Ultimate Engagement Ring Guide

It could be one of the most important purchases of your life but as many have found out it could also be one of the most stressful ones. Choosing an engagement ring is not easy and in the back of your mind is always going to be the burning question of “will she really like it?”. To help with this timeless and most difficult of questions, I have decided to provide some tips to help.

One of the easiest ways to work out what ring she may like is to look at the type of jewelery she is wearing at the moment. For example, does she prefer modern or vintage rings? While many girls today want the very latest in fashion there are also a considerable number of women who prefer the vintage look mainly because it is never going to go out of fashion.

How about big stone or small stones? Simple and affordable, or flashy and over-the top engagement rings? Does she use a designer handbag?. Answering these will help you narrow down the style of engagement ring to look for.

Another important point that many men overlook is the type of materials she likes. If she is always wearing platinum then don’t even think about buying a white gold ring as she has definitely made her choice already. You may also want to consider if the ring is going to fit in well with any other jewelery items she is wearing.

The size of the ring is also very important but not just because of comfort. A long elongated ring will make shorter fingers look longer. While the opposite is true of a thicker band which will make fingers look shorter and thicker. Bear in mind that its really only women with long fingers that can pull off an over the top large diamond in reality.

Another important question. Does she like what is popular, or does she prefer a unique option? A diamond engagement ring is the standard, which is perfect for most women. However, there are always those who want something a little different, and in that case, you will want to look around for a unique engagement ring. You may even consider a ring that doesn’t have any diamonds, but other precious stones.

So that was my short but sweet few tips on how to pick the perfect ring for your (hopefully future) wife. While the type of ring shouldn’t have an effect on her saying yes or not it will definitely make her say yes just that little bit faster!
