There are many jewellers in Melbourne you can consult, but it’s important to make an effort to get to know your girl’s preferences. Here are some tips on how to make this first decision a good one.
Shape First
While you must take note of the 4 Cs (cut, colour, clarity, and carat), design is the most important factor you must decide on first. Make sure the design of the ring is simple and elegant, something that your future fiancé will love for sure. Decide on the 4 Cs after this.
Stop Consumerism
Marriage is sacred, and this decision should be more personal than the norms society has dictated. If you let your bride-to-be or any other person choose for you, it will become just like any other purchase. Ask for expert advice, but always make your final decision based on what you know about her. Trust your instincts because, after all, you’re the one who knows her better than anyone else.
Stick to a Budget
Let go of that two-month salary myth. Buy the most appropriate and beautiful engagement ring for her without falling into a debt hole. As long as your motives are genuine, it’s already a great decision.
Spy on Her
It’s sweet to go ring shopping together, but it’s even sweeter to keep it a secret and surprise her with a romantic proposal. You can ask her family or friends about her style and preference, but make them swear to keep it a secret. Pay attention
to the types of jewellery she wears before making your final choice.
Before talking to a jeweller and buying an engagement ring, make sure you’ve done all your homework first. Afterwards, plan how you will pop the question
and make it one of the most unforgettable moments of her life.
