A Step-by-step guide on picking the Perfect Engagement Ring

 

Men aren’t quite familiar with the world of diamonds. Undoubtedly diamonds are a woman’s best friend, but when it comes to finding a diamond engagement ring in London for their dear betrothed, men might feel a bit overwhelmed. The sheer number of options and a fixed budget might often be a bummer, but if you are looking for a bespoke engagement ring for your beloved, here is a guide to help you out! 

 

Have a clear budget in mind

When you are investing a hefty amount in buying something big like a car or a refrigerator, you do have a budget in mind, right? Diamonds are somewhat similar. Undoubtedly, they are more elegant than any piece of bulk equipment like a refrigerator or a car, but money matters. So, before you set foot in the store, ensure to set a budget. This will narrow down your options, but if you like something a little bit over the top, be flexible enough to spend a couple of bucks extra. Thus the keynote is to set a budget, but with a buffer!

 

Decide whether to involve your spouse or not

Proposals are supposed to be a surprise. However, don’t forget that it’s your partner who has to wear the ring. So, before starting ring shopping, ensure to consider her opinion or input. Women admire the bravery and audacity of surprise proposals, but they also admire men who respect their opinion. Ask them what they like in jewellery, what style they prefer (modern or classic) and obviously what size they wear in rings. 

 

De-brainwash yourself

Believe it or not, diamonds are not a tradition. In fact, until the late 1930s, only 10% of engagement rings had diamonds in them. It was only in 1947 when a marketing genius at De Beers came up with a brilliant marketing campaign- DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Now, 70-odd years later, more than 80% of engagement rings have diamonds in them. Marriages aren’t happy because rings have diamonds in them, they tend to be happy because people respect each other. Forget the two months salary rule that states you need to save for two months and devote your whole two months' salary to get a diamond ring. Because even when the diamond is smaller, your fiancée will love you the same.

 

Don’t forget the band 

When you are ready for a faith platinum ring or a diamond engagement ring for that matter, there are plenty of options available in the market. Band options need to be elegant. Gold is shinier than platinum and it can bring out the chic vibe. But platinum is much more elegant and it looks fascinating enough to woo your partner.  

 

Takeaway

Remember that engagement rings are supposed to be a symbol of love, not your overall earnings. Whether you are getting loose diamonds in the UK to create the perfect customized ring for your spouse or you want stunning diamond earrings for women to complement the facial beauty of the love of your life, always ensure to be careful with the brand because let’s face it- diamonds are expensive, and you should always pick a brand with an unscathed industry reputation.
