The Art of Buying The Perfect Engagement Ring
So when are you popping the question?
First, before saying anything, I would like to congratulate you. Since you have found your way to this blog, I think you are soon going to pop the question, aren’t you? This is definitely going to be the most enchanting moment of your partner and your life!
Choosing an engagement ring can be a rather dreadful task because since it's a surprise you need to be accurate in getting what you get her. And that’s where I will help you.
To make this selection process a little less tormenting and a lot more enchanting, here are 6 steps to select an engagement ring which will leave her flushed with joy!
#1 Budgeting is the most important
Establish a budget before you go to the store to buy the engagement ring or order it online. Check various websites, visit different stores and then determine the budget. Don’t go with the mindset that you will save for the next two-three months and then buy the ring. If you have made the decision to propose her, do it in no less than a week. You can also choose a lab-created stones which are budget-friendly.
#2 Choose her gemstone
This is an unconventional choice because 90% of the engagement rings have diamond and second sapphire. Even though these two stones are the safest bet, taking the risk is all worth it when it comes to love, isn’t it?
#3 Take cues from her best friend

Best friends know everything about each other. So if you want a little bit of help from a best friend is the best one to take some cues from. A girl always dreams of an engagement ring and everything that is related to her big day, and you surely don’t want to leave any leaf unturned.
#4 Choosing the precious metal

Usually, engagement rings come in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum and I would suggest sticking to only these. My favorite out of these is white gold because it resembles platinum. And with the money you save, you can buy her a pair of earrings that match the engagement ring.
#5 Choosing the ring style

Now, this is where it gets a little dreadful. For this, you need to start your research the day you fall in love with her. Know her style, know the way she likes to dress; it is more feminine or bold, what are the brands she prefers to wear and so on. Are the choices in clothing and makeup she make classic, adventurous or nature-inspired? If you are confused between two styles, combine both of them.
#6 Whether to go custom or select a pre-designed one

Going custom is definitely the most romantic thing ever! But you need to weigh out the options. Only if you’re going through thousands of websites and stores and still haven’t found the one which would suit your ladylove the most, go ahead for a custom made engagement ring. There’s something really special about a custom ring, but don’t overspend on a ring! Rather, take her out to an exotic location for the honeymoon!
