Engagement Rings Say A Lot About You And Your Future Bride

While the words “engagement rings” often conjure up visions of traditional engagement rings, made with gold bands and featuring a single centre diamond, today you can find engagement rings that reflect a wide range of styles, tastes, and personalities. Your future fiancée will hopefully be wearing the engagement ring that you give her every day for the rest of her life, so it is important that you make the right choice when you pick her ring.

Ignore the old adage about paying two or three months’ worth of your salary when shopping for your future bride’s engagement ring. Instead, focus on the style of ring that your fiancée will most enjoy wearing, and then zero in on engagement rings that you can afford to purchase. You may be able to spend more than two months’ salary, or less. When you shop on-line, you may be able to find a ring that would cost several months’ worth of your salary for far less. Be savvy while shopping and keep your fiancée’s ideal ring in mind as your goal, rather than a target amount that you should be spending.

To find out what your fiancée’s target ring is, you have two choices. You can propose to your soon to be fiancée and then make purchasing her engagement ring something that you do together, or you can do some sleuthing to identify the style of engagement ring that she is most likely to enjoy wearing. Start with the colour of precious metal that you see her wearing most often in her earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Engagement rings can be purchased white gold, yellow gold, and platinum, so whether she likes silver coloured white gold or warm yellow gold, you can find a setting that she will like.
