I’ve sold thousands of engagement rings during my 20 year career in the jewelry business and with that I’ve gained intimate knowledge of what works when creating a memorable proposal. Most men think that a women’s only concern is the ring – how big it is, what shape, precious metal type, etc. While every woman wants their engagement ring to be something they’ll always cherish, they do want a proposal story to tell their grandchildren. After you propose, your girlfriend’s family and friends will ask two questions – “Can I see the ring?” & “How did he propose?” Now that’s pressure but it doesn’t need to be if you follow some rules of engagement, no pun intended.
Surprise Her
Men have a hard time picking an engagement ring for their future fiancé and rightfully so. After all, how many times in your life have you purchased an engagement ring? With that being said, 50% of guys thinking about popping the question will bring their girlfriends with them to help pick the engagement ring. This can be helpful in finding out what she really is hoping for but sometimes it really hurts the romanticism of the event. The women that are most excited always seem to be the ones that were completely surprised when receiving the ring. There’s no substitute for getting down on one knee in front of your unsuspecting bride and presenting a ring that you’ve selected on your own. It shows that you’re excited enough about getting married to do it without help and that you want it to be a special time for her. It’s not always easy for you to decide which ring is the one she’ll fall in love with but you can get the job done a lot easier than you think.
First thing you should know is that there’s tons of information at your fingertips and you don’t even know it. Look to her lifestyle choices, clothing, and her shopping habits to determine what she would like for a ring. Ring styles are created with the wearer in mind just like clothing; some people are bold and outgoing and prefer clothing & jewelry that matches. This type of person would hope for a ring that’s a unique style and has a bold fresh look. You can get ideas for ring styles at www.andrewsjewelers.com An active person would want a ring that won’t be obtrusive or get caught on things. Traditional women tend to choose classic designs like round solitaire engagement rings. If you still can’t decide what she would like then ask her friends or family for their help. Women spend time discussing jewelry choices with one another, especially when people in their circle of influence become engaged. Another good approach is to look for opportune times to discuss the ring without tipping her off. When you see an advertisement in a magazine, the internet, or on television; comment on the rings and then ask her for what she thinks about them. Women’s magazines are a wonderful tool to do this because there many jewelry advertisements in them.
