Naturally, though, you also want to find the perfect engagement ring to symbolize your love. But this search can feel daunting, as there are so many different styles and directions in which you can go. Check out these tips to make engagement ring shopping as easy as possible, then read on how Joy can help\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/how-to-use-joy-for-your-engagement-party\/\">plan your engagement party next. <\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Set Your Budget<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A budget isn&#8217;t exactly the most exciting part of the whole wedding process, but it&#8217;s important, and good to get out of the way before you start shopping in earnest. If you don\u2019t have at least a price range in mind, it can be easy to get swayed by pushy sales associates who, understandably, want you to buy as big (and expensive) a ring as possible. Determine <a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/how-much-to-spend-on-engagement-ring\/\">your budget<\/a>, what you\u2019re willing to spend and consider that you may need to start setting money aside for the wedding, too. Ignore the outdated rule about two months\u2019 salary; how much you spend is your choice and nobody else\u2019s.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Know Their Taste<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2016\/02\/il_570xN.776110926_59r21.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9691 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2016\/02\/il_570xN.776110926_59r21.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Credit: EidelPrecious on etsy\" width=\"824\" height=\"655\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Engagement ring shopping tends to feel stressful because you\u2019re buying a piece of jewelry that someone else will be wearing every day for the rest of their lives. You want to get it right! Fortunately, this isn\u2019t just <em>anyone <\/em>we\u2019re talking about; it\u2019s the love of your life. Think about what their style naturally gravitates towards. Are they simple and fuss-free in their clothing choices, or do they love dressing up and feeling glamorous? If you can think of a few words or phrases to describe their look \u2013 no matter how casual or put together \u2013 it will help to find the ring that\u2019s right. (And when in doubt, consulting trusted style advisors, aka closest friends, is never a bad idea.)<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do Your Research<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you are looking for a gemstone ring, a classic diamond, or something more unique, you\u2019ll want to be educated before investing money in this important purchase. For diamonds, get acquainted with the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight. Each has its own effect on the stone\u2019s overall value, quality and appearance. Round-cut stones are the most popular, and choosing a different shape will clearly have a strong influence on the ring\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<p>For colorful gems like sapphires and rubies, it\u2019s crucial that you see them either in person or with high-quality photography. Each will have its own distinct color, and how that\u2019s dispersed through the stone will be utterly unique. Ask lots of questions, and don\u2019t be afraid to take your time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>View Many Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2016\/02\/il_570xN.872806457_nxbw.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9701 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2016\/02\/il_570xN.872806457_nxbw.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Credit: TigerGemstones on etsy\" width=\"824\" height=\"551\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This might seem like obvious advice, but it\u2019s only really by looking at a lot of different options that you\u2019ll identify what feels right and what doesn\u2019t. Explore local stores, whether independent or big name brands, browse online, and consider vintage jewelry if you think that might be more her style. The more you examine the different types of settings, metals and center stones on offer, the more information you\u2019ll absorb and become confident in your final decision. If you think you\u2019ll need a second opinion \u2013 most people do \u2013 take along a friend or trusted family member who won\u2019t blow the surprise.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get Covered<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found a ring that feels just <em>perfect, <\/em>you\u2019ll probably want to hand over the money immediately and start planning the proposal. Before you do that, though, you\u2019ll want to be sure of a few things. Does the store have an exchange policy, just in case it\u2019s not quite her thing? Will they offer to resize it if it\u2019s a little too large for her finger? Are there insurance or warranty options to make sure it\u2019s a protected purchase for the decades to come? Don\u2019t ever feel like you\u2019re being annoying by asking about all of these options. This is an emotionally and financially significant moment, and you don\u2019t want any unfortunate surprises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and are ready to pop that all-important question \u2013 congratulations!
