How do you find out what engagement ring your girlfriend would prefer?
Cupid’s Pulse:
You’re ready to pop the question but there’s just one problem — you are completely and utterly clueless as to which ring to get. You don’t know the difference between a gemstone and a diamond! Here are some clues on how to find the right ring.
1. Recruit others to the cause: There is no one better to ask for help than your girlfriend’s mother, your mother or your girlfriend’s best friends. Chances are, your girlfriend has spilled to them over the years what her dream ring will include so don’t feel that you’re alone in this quest to finding the perfect ring.
2. Be sly: While you’re out, walk by a jewelry store and see if anything in particular catches her eye. Look through her jewelry box and take a look at the jewelry she already has to see if there is a common theme between her pieces. For example, if the jewelry looks sort of antique, she will probably want a matching engagement ring.
3. Do your homework: The internet and magazines are your best friends. If necessary, look through the magazines at home so that you are not embarrassed at work or on the go. Though, it will be beneficial in the long run if you at least know what the typical price ranges are and styles.
