Get The Right Engagement Ring
It’s important to get the right ring, so start by browsing online for ideas. This takes the pressure out of having to buy one when you’re looking, like is often the case in shops and they’ll be a much range to choose from just remember to delete your browser history!
Diamond Manufacturers say, “There are a great range of styles to choose from, ranging from pre-set rings to bespoke designs. Don’t forget the metal that sets the stones either. From platinum to white gold or yellow gold, consider the jewellery your significant half currently wears and make sure it matches their taste.”
Plan Ahead
Be aware of your budget and don’t allow yourself to go above that. Set up a separate account to put money into for the ring and make sure you don’t allow yourself to take anything out of it until you’re ready to buy the ring.
Diamond Manufacturer say, “If finances are tight, think about how you can make the diamond appear larger than it is. Maximise the appearance by purchasing an illusion mount. Mounted on a mirror-like plate, the reflection enhances the appearance of the ring. Alternatively, a ring with cluster side stone settings can give an optical illusion of size.”
Be Creative
You know your partner well enough by now to know what they do and don’t like, so when it comes to actually proposing, take that into consideration.
Diamond Manufacturers say, “Whether it’s on a mountain top of Snowdonia or surprising them in an oyster and champagne bar, make sure it’s a moment that lasts forever.”
Pop The Question
The time has come and it’s now or never so it’s important to remember to be the person that your partner has fallen in love with. Don’t do anything out of character and just keep it simple and relaxed!
Diamond Manufacturers say, “Take a deep breath and don’t rush things. Explain how they makes you feel; what it means to have them in your life. Recall the idiosyncrasies that make you love them and share some happy stories from the time you’ve spent together. Remember to keep it simple, but more importantly tell them how much they mean to you!
