How to Buy an Engagement Ring

An engagement ring is a symbol of your commitment to a lifelong relationship. You not only have to be certain you pick the right ring, but you often have to negotiate with a salesperson and hope that you get the best deal. Choosing the right engagement ring
is a matter of knowing your fiancée and finding what she likes. Here are some tips on how to buy an engagement ring.

Determine the type of ring you want to buy. Has your girlfriend dropped any hints about the shape of stone or type of metal she’d like? If not, think about here style (clothes, furniture, etc.) and pick something that matches.

Find a good

See what their payment and return policies are, and then check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the store has had any complaints.

Pick a price range. The tradition is to spend two months salary on the ring. But that's just tradition. It's more important to get a ring that she'll like, even if it's a little bit more or less.

Discover her ring size. You can ask her nonchalantly in conversation if you think you can get away with it. Otherwise, ask one of her friends or mother to see if they know. You also can take one of her rings that you know fits her finger and trace it. You might even want to find an opportunity to have her try on a ring at a street fair or something to get an idea.

Decide on a
stone
. This is the tough part. There's a lot to know, you'll need to do a bit of research beforehand but here's a brief rundown. Diamonds are your safest bet. Don't choose anything else unless you are sure she doesn't want a diamond.

Understand the 4 C's. That's clarity, color, cut, and carat. The

Choose a band and setting. This is less important than the stone. Basically, choose what your fiancée prefers. She probably already has a ring style, so remember what her friends and family said. 、
