10 Things to Prepare for Your Engagement Ring Purchase

Getting engaged is a big step in any relationship, and choosing the perfect engagement ring is a crucial part of the process. To ensure that you get the ring of her dreams, it's important to prepare beforehand for your engagement ring appointment. Here are 10 things you need to do before your showroom appointment to ensure that you make the most of your visit.

1. Determine your budget

Before you start shopping for engagement rings, it's important to set a budget. Engagement rings can range in price from tens of thousands to a couple hundreds of pesos, so it's important to know what you're comfortable spending for this investment piece. Having a budget in mind will also help your jeweller narrow down your options and find the perfect ring within your price range.

2. Research styles and designs

There are countless styles and designs of engagement rings to choose from, so it's helpful to do some research before your scheduled appointment. Look at different types of rings, such as solitaire, halo, and three-stone rings, and decide which style matches her style and personality the most. You can also look at different types of metals, such as white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum, to determine which one she usually wears and prefers.

3. Know your partner's ring size

If you're planning to surprise your partner with an engagement ring, it's important to know their ring size for the appointment. You can try to discreetly measure their finger while they're sleeping or ask a close friend or family member if they know their ring size. If all else fails, you can always have the ring resized after the proposal.

4. Consider your partner's style

When choosing an engagement ring, it's very important to consider your partner's style. Do they prefer simple and classic designs, or do they like more elaborate and ornate ones? Pay attention to the jewelry they wear daily to get a sense of their preferences that will help you decide during the appointment.

While it's important to have an idea of what you're looking for, it's also important to be open to suggestions from your jeweller. They may have ideas for rings that you haven't considered, or they may be able to customize a ring to fit your specific preferences.
