THE RING - Part 1
What to Consider When Buying an Engagment Ring
There are a large amount of issues to consider when you are looking to purchase a diamond, especially if you are purchasing a diamond engagement ring! The custom of presenting a girlfriend with a diamond engagement ring when requesting her hand in marriage started in 1477 when Archduke Maximilian gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy. In most instances, the girl you are planning on marrying will be expecting a ring to accompany your marriage proposal!
First you will want to consider how much you are able to spend on an engagement ring. Most men apply the ‘two months earnings’ principle. With this in mind the ring should cost the equivalent of two months of the current amount of money you earn. Since you have additional bills to pay, saving up two months of pay could take quite a long time. You might need to thing about financing. Simply go to the jeweler you plan to purchase the ring from and tell them that you are planning on purchasing an engagement ring, and that you will need financing. Proceed with getting the credit check out of the way, ascertain what your payments will run, and how much money down will be required.
Request your lady's best friend to accompany your lady shopping, first making sure this friend will be discrete wth your secret. Make sure that your girlfriends best friend knows to take your girlfriend to a jewlry store to see what type of engagement ring your girlfriend might prefer if she were getting engaged.
Once you have a general idea of what may please your lady, make sure that the jeweler
you purchase the ring from allows you to bring back the ring, for exchange or just in case your lady is not currently ready for this course just yet. You want to be very sure about an exchange policy since you want you girlfriend to love the ring she will be wearing for the rest of her life.
