Find her style and get an engagement ring she’ll love
A woman’s engagement ring should reflect her style. If you take time to find her style, picking an engagement ring will be much easier. You wouldn’t buy a yellow gold engagement ring for a woman who dislikes yellow gold. You wouldn’t buy a large sized diamond for a woman who likes unassuming diamonds. Avoid engagement ring blunders by taking time to find her style.
Use jewelry to find her style
Your future bride probably owns at least one ring. Even if she doesn’t wear it regularly, there’s probably one around somewhere. If there’s no ring, take a look at any jewelry she owns. Paying attention to the jewelry she already owns can help you find her style.
A lot of silver jewelry is an indication that an engagement ring made of white gold or platinum would be to her liking. Both metals are similar to silver, but are more brilliant and stunning. Of course, if she has a lot of gold, then a yellow gold engagement ring is the way to go. There are also other ways to find her style.
Find her style the straight-forward way
Asking what type of ring she likes will obviously help you find her style. This is tricky though because you don’t want to ruin the surprise. If you play it cool, she’ll never even guess why you’re trying to find her style. Tell her you’re buying an engagement ring for your mother, sister, aunt, whatever, and that you’re not sure what type of rings women like. That’ll surely get her to mention her own style.
Leave jewelry catalogs out where she can see them, or when surfing the internet, casually pull-up a jewelry site, such as Novori.com, and ask what looks interesting. Ask her about diamond styles as well. She may prefer a princess cut diamond to a round one. Or who knows, she may prefer no diamonds at all.
Some women like rubies or emeralds in their engagement rings instead of traditional diamonds. Don’t let playing dumb about women’s rings make you uncomfortable. It may bother you a bit, but it will help you find her style. You’ll find her style by the end of the conversation. Think of how happy you’ll be to see her happiness about the ring you choose.
Find her style based on her clothes
If you’re close enough to this woman to propose, then you’re probably knowledgeable about her style of dress. You can actually find her style in jewelry based on the style of clothes she likes. A woman with expensive taste will appreciate an expensive engagement ring. More than likely, she won’t be pleased with a small, understated solitaire ring. On the other hand, if her style of dress is conservative and quiet, then she may be more comfortable with a nice unassuming solitaire ring, as opposed to a huge diamond that screams “look at me”. Take time to find her style. You’ll be glad you did.
