You can follow these tips from us to find the best engagement ring.
Enlist the guidance of close friends
Enlisting the help of your partner's friends is an age-old, tried-and-true method for a reason, and it may be one of the safest tricks in the book. Your S.O. has probably told their bestie about their dream ring, so why not go straight to the source, and ask them what they know?
Take a look at their Pinterest page
Before Pinterest, how did we even plan weddings? Ask any millennial woman, and they'll tell you that they had a wedding Pinterest board long before they met their future spouse. If you land on their profile, look through their boards for wedding inspiration or enlist the help of a friend. If you're not sure if they have a Pinterest account, search their other social media handles with the word 'Pinterest'; it might be the same name!
Consider their overall look
This is significant! When it comes to finding your partner's dream ring — something they'll actually love and wear for the rest of their lives — you must take their personal style into account. Make a list of adjectives that describe their aesthetic and then choose a design based on them.
Take inspiration from their current jewellery
If your sweetie wears jewellery, your job is about to become a lot easier. You can narrow down certain aspects of the ring's design by taking cues from what they already wear. Their jewellery box can tell you whether they prefer silver, gold, rose gold, vintage, modern, and so on.
Plan a shopping trip to the mall
This one will require a little more finesse but try suggesting a trip to the mall with your partner for something innocent, like a new pair of jeans. They casually walk by the jeweller, observing any lingering and noting any styles that catch their eye. There's no guarantee they won't have a sneaky suspicion of what you're up to, but hey, that's a risk worth taking!
Be sure to buy the best ring from some of the known brands. If you want some amazing shoes and dresses, keep an eye on Bride Now.
