Summer is almost upon us, which means perfect weather and locations to pop the question! Many brides-to-be do a lot of research prior to their partners getting down on one knee, so they know what to hint for. Others aren’t so subtle, and actually discuss potential engagement rings with their beaus prior to being proposed to. We see no problems with either of those options!
There are many routes to go down when it comes to choosing the best engagement ring. You could pick your perfect engagement ring and send the info to your bestie, safe in the knowledge that your partner will seek their advice when the time comes. Or you could unapologetically print off a picture of your perfect engagement ring along with your ring size, and place it firmly in your partner’s hand even before they pop the question. Or perhaps you’ve discussed being proposed to with a dummy ring to later find the perfect ring together. There are so many options, and all of them are unique and wonderful!
Choosing an engagement ring can be quite overwhelming as there are so many styles to choose from: different metals, different diamond shapes, different ring styles, the list goes on! Whether you like big, bold, and beautiful or something minimal, classy, and elegant or something somewhere in the middle, there is an engagement ring to suit you and your aesthetic.
