Ways To Pay For An Engagement Ring

December 19th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Buying Guides

When you know that you are ready to pop the question, you will help to settle your nerves by finding the perfect engagement ring. Even if you are sure of her tastes, it would serve you best to get the second opinion of one of her friends or family members. Make sure that you only ask those that you know will be able to keep your plans a secret. While your girlfriend’s heart will pound when you ask her to marry you, make sure that you purchase an engagement ring that will not underwhelm her and make your proposal a flop.

To be on the safe side, only choose a wedding ring that will cost you a minimum of three months salary. It is not exactly known where this rule comes from, but it is thought to be a variation on the dowries promised to families in exchange for their daughters’ hand in marriage in ancient times and other cultures today. If you need more money to purchase your wedding ring, you can try to get financing through a major jewelry company, take out a personal loan or use your own credit card to pay for it.

If you plan to work a second job in order to finance your purchase, be sure to make time for your significant other and assure her that you will only be working for a short period of time. It is important to make sure that your relationship is on solid ground before you propose. Although you will not be able to know whether your proposal will be accepted beforehand, you can improve your chances by picking the right location and doing it at an appropriate time. You don’t have to go in debt to afford an engagement ring, but you should spend the proper amount of money on one of the most important purchases you will make in your life.

Jewelry Isn’t Just About Pleasing Her, It’s About Delighting Her

A man meets a woman, they fall in love and rest becomes the history that transforms both their lives – it’s the oldest story ever told. This story alone will probably be told to more friends, more family members and of course, the couple’s children, than any other tale. It’s the classic story of romance and for the man who’s looking to take this path in his life, nothing is more expedient than understanding the rules of the ritual. 

For one thing, making her happy is only part of the aim. A man needs to keep in mind that most girls have been planning not only their wedding day, but the course of their ultimate romance, their entire lives. They’ve spent hours fantasizing about how it would happen, what they would tell their parents and what they would one day be able to tell their children about how their mother and father got swept away into romance. To keep her happy, you’ll want to consider a diamond engagement ring, but to truly delight her? Put it this way, nothing says high class like a Tacori. For decades, these rings have shone so brightly that they have even lit up the eyes of Trista Rehn on the hit reality show The Bachelorette. Women know these rings mean far more than a garden variety diamond ring.

For those who want to add that extra special touch of elegance, to express a heart deep level of commitment then eternity rings are definitely something to consider. This ring goes beyond an engagement ring, beyond a wedding band. As its name implies, this is a ring that uses diamonds to say ‘forever’ several times over. Don’t leave a single doubt in her mind, show her what she truly means to you and there is no doubt that she will be yours to keep. By exceeding the basics and reaching for the stars, a man shows that his love is love is secure and above all else, that is what any woman would quite reasonably expect from the man she intends to live her life alongside.
