What to Know About Shopping for Engagement Rings

What to Spend

It may depend on your financial situation and your partner’s preferences. It may help to start up a conversation with them to see what they may be expecting.

How to Find the One

You can narrow down your options by determining the metal, stone, and style you want. Gold and platinum are the two most durable metals. White gold and rose gold are both popular options, but to ensure they’ll like it you should look at the type of jewelry they wear. For example, if they wear a lot of silver, pick something in that color.

Diamonds are the traditional stone and are a safe bet. You know your partner, though, so other stones can work if that’s their style. Some other popular stones are sapphires, rubies, opals, emeralds, or pearls. The style is where you have the most flexibility. Look at the styles of jewelry they wear, talk to them about what they want, or get input from their family and friends to find the right style.

With these tips, you’ll be sure to choose the perfect piece of jewelry to symbolize the beginning of your lives together.
