How Do You Shop For An Engagement Ring?
An engagement ring is something you’ll have for a good long time so choose carefully when it comes time to select one. Don’t just go by old rules like “two month’s salary” when buying your ring. Follow these instructions to shop for an engagement ring quickly and intelligently. Know your fiancée. If you don’t know exactly what she’ll like for an engagement ring, consider buying a stone, or proposing without a ring and shopping for one together. Budget for the stone. Expect to pay two or three thousand dollars for each half carat in a diamond. Find a reputable jewelry store. Ask friends and family about their experiences with jewelry stores and which ones have suited them. Find a deal online. Even though you’re essentially buying sight unseen, online jewelry can often be had for a fraction of the price of normal jewelry.
