The engagement came to us from the West and does not happen very often in our country. And the ring for this occasion is often chosen simply for reasons of personal taste. However, there are still some rules.
Necessary
- - money;
- - your girlfriend's ring size
Instructions
Step 1
The first rule is that the ring must be gold or, if the budget allows, platinum. Silver is allowed unless the girl wears jewelry exclusively from this metal. Before choosing between rings of red, yellow and white gold, take a closer look at the fineness and shade of the rest of your beloved's gold jewelry. After all, she will wear your engagement gift every day before the wedding, and possibly after it.
Step 2
The ring should be thin and graceful, with a stone. In Europe, usually a lover is presented with a diamond ring, the larger the better. There it is considered the norm that an engagement jewelry worth two or three salaries is given, in our country, wedding rings are often chosen thinner and cheaper, not to mention the engagement rings. Maybe the ring will be with a small pebble or without it at all.
Step 3
If you still choose jewelry with a diamond, then remember whether your girlfriend wears jewelry with oval or triangular stones. If not, then stop at the classic version - a round pebble. At the same time, size is not always an indicator of quality. After all, diamonds are valued for their beautiful play of light. And this property is achieved by the quality of the cut and the presence of inclusions. So don't go for size so much as for quality within your budget.
Step 4
Perhaps the most difficult thing is not to be mistaken with the size of the ring. You can try to discreetly take your girlfriend's ring and trace it with a pencil. And show the resulting drawing in a jewelry store. Sellers will figure it out. Alternatively, try the ring on your finger and mark where it will fit snugly enough. Focusing on this mark, in the store, using special measurements, you will find out the required size. You can try to find out this number from a friend or mother of your beloved.
