If you are considering on asking your girlfriend the ‘big question’ and want to surprise her with a unique ring, you may be at a point where you are becoming stressed at choosing the perfect ring. If this applies to you stop and take a deep breath. The variety of rings available is vast however it doesn’t need to be stressful at all as long as consider exactly what your engagement ring actually represents. The engagement ring represents love and commitment and symbolises the fact that you both want to be with each other for the rest of your life. This is the real important factor, not the cost, size or quality of the ring.
However, this being true, you still want to ensure that you purchase a ring that your girlfriend will adore. One of the easiest ways is to make a conscious effort to pay attention to the rings and other jewellery she already wears. By doing this, you will be able to find out the style, colour and size of jewellery she usually wears.
For instance, if your girlfriend wears delicate jewellery, a delicate ring would be perfect. If she wears white gold, the last thing you want to give is a yellow gold ring. Another factor you need to ensure is that the ring is going to fit your girlfriend. The best way to get around finding her finger size without asking her directly is to take an existing ring she wears and use this to guide you.
If this is difficult you can always try one of her rings on your own fingers. When it comes to deciding on the perfect engagement ring, you need to be aware that there are many different cuts of diamond and the price depends on the clarity and size of the stone. Also if you only have a small budget you do not need to feel dismayed there are many excellent offers on rings with smaller stones also by choosing white gold instead of platinum will enable you to save money. However if money is not an issue you can could consider purchasing a unique made-to-measure tailored to your specifications.
With certain jewellers you are able to choose everything from the cut of the diamond, the design, the type of gold used and the way it is set. There are many jewellers around who will make a ring to order and advise you on every step of its development. However it is paramount that you shop with a reputable jeweller which in turn will ensure your diamonds are certified. Remember that purchasing an engagement ring is the most romantic gesture you will ever make and stressing about choosing the ring may detract from that; so try and stay calm.
