How to choose the engagement ring in 4 steps

Is she the right one? Is it time for the marriage proposal? So before you think about the words you will use to ask her to marry you, you absolutely must choose the engagement ring. 

It is not possible to make a marriage proposal to a woman without the precious box in her hand. Remember that the engagement ring is a promise, the most important and demanding of life, that of true love and forever. But how to choose an engagement ring? It is not simple, but it is not impossible. A few tricks are enough. You can even save money. Here are 4 steps.

1. Which ring would you like?

At the base of how to choose the engagement ring there must be a punctual investigation about her tastes. Firstly , look at the jewels you wear, comment on the shop windows of the jewelers you see as you walk, ask your friends. This way you can understand if your girlfriend loves diamonds or prefers other stones; if he prefers a sober or more striking style; if he loves gold (yellow, pink or white?), silver or platinum. Be attentive to the messages that she herself sends you - oh, yes, and how if she does! Check out his appreciation in front of the windows of a jewelry store or the comments on the ring received from a friend.

2. Set a budget.

Secondly, set a budget before you go to the jewelry store to choose the engagement ring. In fact, jewelers will try to advise you on how to choose an engagement ring and try to sell you the biggest, and therefore most expensive, stones if you don't immediately tell them you don't want or can exceed a certain amount. Keep in mind that an engagement ring costs € 1,000. To maximize your budget, you can choose smaller or different diamonds or you can buy an engagement ring online.

 3. Choose the stone: diamond or other precious stone?

The diamond is a symbol of eternal love and traditions are always a beautiful thing, but nobody prevents you from choosing a different stone.
In addition to color, cut and value, you could rely on the meaning that each precious stone conceals in itself. 

How to choose an engagement ring: opal, moonstone or turquoise.

Opal engagement ring: the Opal, for example, is of a variable color, but its meaning is clear: sincere love. It could therefore prove to be a significant choice for the engagement ring. It is a stone associated with emotions such as love, passion and spontaneity. Opal helps to imagine and dream. Dreaming of a dream life? Why not! It is not a luminous stone like a diamond, but its nuances are fascinating and to enhance it, only diamonds are needed.

Moonstone engagement ring: Moonstone comes in a wide variety of colors, including brown, colorless, green, gray, pink, rainbow, white and yellow. It has a luster that ranges from silver to blue, varies from semi-translucent to translucent and often exhibits high gloss. It, sacred in India, is the gem that helps communication through clarity of thought, understanding, intuition. Even it seems to lead to the achievement of one's desires, as long as they are really necessary. By providing feminine energy, the moonstone opens our more yin side, can stimulate the functioning of the pineal gland, balances the internal hormonal cycles with the rhythms of nature, relieves menstrual pain and pregnancy, promotes fertility and helps stimulate the lymphatic and immune system.

Turquoise engagement ring: turquoise has been used for thousands of years, making it one of the oldest stones for making jewelry. In crystallotherapy it presents remarkable metaphysical properties related to the element "ether". The natural energy of these stones helps to communicate the truth, as turquoise increases spiritual strength and the ability to express oneself. In fact, turquoise is the stone of friendship in many cultures.
The mineral is a hydrated phosphate of aluminum and copper, its most common color is blue. However, the stone also exists in other variants, such as green, white and purple.

4. How to choose the engagement ring: the precious metal.

The last step before the final choice is the choice of the precious metal of the engagement ring. Generally, the most common are:

• Yellow gold: usually 18 or 14 carats, yellow gold is a classic choice for an engagement ring especially suitable for those girls with a warm flesh color

• White gold: white gold is a more contemporary and delicate alternative, less striking and easier to wear every day. Compared to yellow gold it needs more care because, over time, the rhodium coating that covers the white gold will disappear and it will be necessary to redo the plating in jewelry.

• Silver: silver is less common, but also less expensive. Usually, it is bound to another metal, to obtain a more resistant and shiny material. Remember that the best silver is marked 925.

• Platinum: platinum is a precious and rare metal, hard and luminous in appearance; surely its cost is higher than gold but it is much stronger and long-lasting, more pure and hypoallergenic.

And now all you have to do is choose the perfect way and time to kneel and say, "Will you marry me?"
