The importance of an engagement ring and how to deal with it

Will you marry me?

This question will change everything!

There is a before and after to this wonderful phrase... Are you ready? We know that it is a very important decision and that, at times, it can generate certain doubts. From our experience, we are going to give you some advice that we trust will help you choose among some beautiful engagement rings like these Moonstone engagement rings. Take note!!

How to choose an engagement ring?

The engagement moment is a real surprise for the other party. Maybe she expects it or maybe she faints when she hears you. If you prepare it with love, it will be a wonderful moment that you will not forget. We know, it's a great responsibility!!

We suggest that a couple of months before, try to find out your partner's tastes in terms of jewelry and specifically, in terms of rings. Take advantage when she stops in front of a jewelry window, to see what she notices. Open your “ears” wide, when your best friend is given the engagement ring, ask her if she liked it. Those little details will help you choose the perfect jewel.

Some questions you should answer are:

- Diamond solitaire or do you prefer an alliance with several diamonds?

- Perhaps you fancy a colored stone like this blue sapphire ring? It has become very fashionable to give emeralds and sapphires. There are several "royalties" that have received an engagement ring with a colored stone. It is a point to take into account.

- Do you like vintage designs or do you prefer more contemporary designs?

There are many doubts that you should gradually unravel. We want you to be right. If you need a little help, ask for it! Always a friend or family member who knows her well will be happy to lend you a hand and be part of the surprise.

How much should you spend on an engagement ring?

We find it inelegant to give guidelines, and there aren't any. She will depend on you and our advice is to find a balance between what you like, what she has told you, and what your budget allows you to spend. An engagement ring is, above all, a promise of a future together and the important thing is the environment you manage to create. That said, think that it is a ring that will accompany you all your life... It is worth it if you have to make a little effort, but always from the balance of your situation.

When and where to buy the perfect engagement ring?

To be comfortable, and avoid races, take it with time. If you already have a clear date, give yourself a few weeks to visit establishments you trust and see the different options they offer you. Keep in mind that the delivery time for a ring made to order is a minimum of 2 to 4 weeks. Always ask for a certificate that guarantees the quality of your engagement ring, it must include the qualitative characteristics (weight, color, purity...) and a photograph of the jewel.

And how to know the size of your partner?

This doubt always assails you...

Don't panic, with a little foresight it's easy to figure out their number. The most practical thing would be to stealthily take a ring from her and take it to the jewelry store to have it measured. If it's difficult for you, and you think she's going to figure it out, there's a plan B. There are plenty of tools on the internet to find out the size of a ring. It is about measuring the inner diameter, always in mm, and converting it with a simple table. As much as you apply yourself, it is usual that later you have to adjust. Don't worry, it's something you can do with her after the big day.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
