Engagement ring shopping is a happy but not easy thing for couples who are planning their wedding. Too many factors to consider before selecting the right one. Here is some advice to help you hand-pick the ring that’s perfect for you!

1. Determine the Style

There are so many lovely styles to choose from when engagement ring shopping! Simple, classic picks are often characterized by a diamond solitaire sitting atop a sleek, simple band. Antique looks inspired by the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s host a vintage feel usually with large stones and minute ornate details. Extravagant rings may have unique settings, dramatic features and bold lines. Once you decide on a style, you must decide on a band, and on the color.

2. Include Your Partner

Most noteworthy, the love of your life knows you better than anyone, but may not be privy to the preferred style of engagement ring. Stroll through jewelry stores together, exchange pics of favored styles, and talk about what’s non-negotiable! Setting the stage for the perfect pick is always a good idea because it will be much appreciated! It doesn’t have to be a surprise. The details of the proposal may be top secret, but the preferred attributes of the ring should be set in stone. Pun intended.

3. Consider Your Lifestyle

Do daily activities revolve around being outdoors, or in an indoor environment? Is time usually spent at home or in the office? Considering the fact that an engagement ring is to be worn every day, it should fit nicely into one’s lifestyle.

Here are some simple tips to help you get started. Happy Shopping!
