IT ONLY MATTERS THAT SHE IS HAPPY
What carat gold would she prefer? Does she like white gold? Is yellow gold better? Would she really prefer platinum? What is the difference between 14 carat gold and 18 carat gold?
So many people spend so much time trying to learn all about diamonds so that they can give the perfect ring to their perfect girl when marriage is proposed.
What is a filigree anyway? Does it have anything to do with blood lines?
And trillions. Isn’t that just more money than I could afford?
Why do they use baguettes? Are you supposed to hide the ring in the bread?
So many questions and so little time to choose. You want to get engaged. You want to spend your time with the most wonderful person in the world. You are supposed to be out on dates, going to dinner, having a picnic, taking in a movie. Not trying to become an expert in something you know nothing about.
Yet all the research and study, the doubts, the fear that you will make a mistake and buy the wrong ring mean so little in the end. There is, after all, only one “right” ring for your lady love.
The “right” ring is the ring she wants.
Whatever ring you choose, she will love. Or she will attempt to love it. She will at least attempt to love it because it is the gift from you that is your ultimate expression of love for her.
But she will be wearing the wedding ring everyday for the rest of her life. She will be most appreciative of your thoughtfulness in picking out the ring of her dreams. Not the ring you think she should like. Or might like. Most girls have a decided preference for a particular style of ring.
So, find a way to figure out what she really likes in a ring. Find out whether the color and clarity of the diamond is more important to her than the size of the gem. Or if size no matter how poor the quality of the stone is all that matters. Does she prefer a modern setting or an antique? Or does she really prefer colored stones such as a sapphire over a diamond. Does she want an environmentally friendly ring?
Pay attention when she is looking through online
estate jewelry photographs, send these photographs to her friends or pay attention to what she wants in bridal magazines. If there is a conversation about jewelry, which if the relationship is serious there will be, ask her what she likes about rings. She will tell you.
Then, when that magic moment comes and you propose, you will have chosen the perfect wedding ring.
