How to Choose the Right Engagement Ring for Your Partner
Engagement season is near. According to the Knot, the wedding planner website, “over 37% of engagements occur between November and February, with December being the most popular time to propose.” If you’re looking to pop the question soon, let Bostonian Jewelers help you get ready. Below, we’ve put together a guide on how to choose the right ring. Good luck!
Take a Look at Wedding Magazines
Before you take a trip to the ring store, consider looking at some wedding magazines to get an idea of general ring styles. From Vogue to Brides, these publications will help you imagine what will look best on your partner’s finger.
Size Matters. Or Does It?
In a recent People article declared that “there’s such a thing as a too-big engagement ring.” Do you think your partner agrees? Consider looking at their current jewelry line-up to see if they prefer flashier items or something more lowkey.
Consider Ethical Ring Choices
In recent years, after reports of “unethical” diamond farms emerged, lab-grown diamonds have become a popular choice for ethically-conscious couples. Consider if your partner would prefer a more “ethical” ring.
Ask Their Friends & Relatives
While you might think it’s a nice ring, your partner’s relatives (or friends) might not. It’s worth considering a second opinion on the ring before you think about proposing with it.
Consider Eco-Friendly Rings
Is your partner significant on sustainability? A sustainable engagement ring could be right up their alley. From rings that use recycled metals to alternative metals (bamboo, sea glass), sustainable jewelry offers a one-of-a-kind design without the guilt.
Get Their Finger Measurements Right
Suppose you already found the perfect ring, but is it the right size? Make sure to review your partner’s ring finger measurements so they can wear the ring.
Ask for Their Family’s Heirloom Wedding Ring
Maybe you really can’t find the perfect ring. If you’re genuinely stumped, consider asking your partner’s family if you can propose with their heirloom wedding ring. If your partner hates the ring, it’ll be on their family, not you.
