1. SET A TARGET PRICE

We’ve all heard that old wives’ tale mandating that we shell out two or three month’s salary on a ring. Simply put, it’s entirely up to you how much you spend and it’s important to target a price range that will make you comfortable. Engagement rings, also called “settings,” and their accompanying center stones vary in price based on many factors.

. Jewelry Expo has gorgeous engagement rings and center stones to fit every price range so don’t stress. Just come up with a ball park price and we can maximize the aspects that are important to you.

2. FIGURE HER OUT

We get it… that’s a tall order! Don’t worry we are here to help!

The best way to begin narrowing your selection is by starting with something you know she likes. If she has told you what shape of center stone she prefers that’s a great start. Maybe she loves a certain designer or, if you’re one of the lucky ones, she may have left you some hints on her Pinterest or Instagram. If so, don’t hesitate to live chat, call or email us and we can help decipher those “liked” and “pinned” pictures and point you in the right direction!

If you’ve never discussed rings and you’re planning to do this on your own, we can go ‘James Bond’ on it. Think about the type of jewelry she wears and pay close attention the color of the metal. If she mixes metals its usually safe to select whichever she wears most. The chances are that her and her friends have chatted about rings before and you may be able to get some info out of a trusted friend. It’s like seeing the other team’s secret play book!

If you’re still not sure on the style we can always set your perfect center stone into a classic solitaire engagement ring. Once you propose you and your FIANCE can shop together for her perfect engagement ring!
