Choose your Style - This is the easy part. You know what you like. You just have to find it. Keep looking until you do. While you're looking, try to keep a few things in mind.
- What looks good in a magazine, in a showcase, on a website, or on someone else’s finger may not be right on your hand. We’d love to have you stop in just to try some rings on. Experiment. We’ll pour the coffee and let you just have fun. Leave your cash and credit cards at home.
- Some complexions are complimented by yellow gold, some with white metals. Try on both and see what you think.
- If your fingers are long, a wider ring may better suit your hand. If you have petite fingers you might find that that thin and delicate settings complement your hands quite nicely. Trust your first impressions.
- A diamond set higher in prongs tends to accentuate the stone. Lower heavier settings tend to protect the stone. Consider how you use your hands to find the perfect balance.
- You may like a classic look, a vintage style or something more contemporary. Whatever the choice, remember that girlfriends, mothers, and anyone else offering their opinion may not have the same taste. If we all liked the same thing, we’d be wearing uniforms.
- After you have a good idea of what you like, let him know, but be subtle. Give choices and options, not a single selection. He wants to give you a romantic moment that you’ll remember forever. Surveys show that the overwhelming majority of both brides and grooms desire the moment of engagement to be a surprise. Knowing exactly what the ring looks like ahead of time may make that moment anti-climatic.
