How to choose the right engagement ring?

Why is it so important to offer an engagement or declaration of love ring? When it comes to marriage proposal there are two categories of boys: those who consider it to be theater and who don't care about it and others who think it is essential to do it well.

Those who want to do it, score a point because the girls like it. Not necessarily a theatrical request like in fairy tales but just the idea that we wanted to take care of her by organizing and preparing something just for them.

It sounds complicated what I just said but I just want to say that the girls not only appreciate the request, they appreciate the idea that we took the time to do something right for them. In a word, they like to be taken care of, to be pampered not in the sense of boys but pampered in the sense of girls. It is not the same.

Pampering is the kind of word that makes you believe that there really is a language for girls and a language for boys. In short, pampering or treating, or spoiling just means pleasing the girl as she wants with what she wants even if it's not what the boy wants.

But why go to all this trouble? First because the girls like it, it reassures them, they know that the guy really loves them, that in case of illness or danger, the boy will always be there to take care of her and make her happy. This is the first reason.

The second reason is that girls share a lot of things with their girlfriends or their family. When a girl tells her loved ones that she has officially received the promise ring from her prince, it is usually the excitement at its peak. His sisters, his friends or his mother, and his aunts will ask him lots of questions like:

The more the girl will be proud of her ring, the more her face will light up with happiness while recounting this exceptional day. Gentlemen, that's why it's in your best interest to ensure when you ask for the girl's happiness.

But every story is unique, and each couple can proceed as they please!

Choose a handmade ring

A diamond ring can be found in jewelry starting from 450 dollars. The most luxurious models will be sold for between 1500 and 2000 dollars. A craft model, not necessarily more expensive, will have the advantage of being unique and can be made to measure.

Choosing the right stone

The tradition is that an engagement ring is adorned with a stone while a wedding ring will rather be in the form of a simple ring. Very often set with a diamond, the engagement ring can be chosen more original with a colored, precious, or semi-precious stone depending on the budget: ruby, sapphire, emerald but also turquoise or opal if these models appeal to you. Stones carry symbols. They can be chosen for their beauty and taste, but also the scope of their meaning in lithic language. The stone will be solitary or in a trilogy depending on the style of the ring.

Choose an ethical ring

Because an engagement is a strong commitment and a declaration of love, it should be part of a global ethical approach: be sure to offer a piece of jewelry fashioned with respect for human rights! Jewelers and jewelry stores can assure you of the origin of the stones that set your jewel.

Choose the gold that suits you

The ideal metal for engagement rings and also mothers’ rings remains gold. This can be chosen in different shades, yellow, white, pink, and even red when alloyed with copper. A choice that will have to be made according to your tastes and your audacity: bet on the classic or surprise with an original model? For the little trick, yellow gold goes particularly well with dark skin. White gold adapts to all skin tones, and pink or red gold stands out elegantly on light-toned skin.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
