Time-Saving Tips Before You Start Shopping.
- Take a good look at your hand. Are your fingers small, long, short, or slender? If you have small, short fingers, a large ring might not look right on your finger. With big hands, a small ring might get lost.
- You might want to look at websites before you set out to start looking to get an idea of your style. If you are drawn to one particular style over and over, you might want to start with that. Print out pictures of what styles you like and bring them with you. This can save time when shopping, you can show them to the sales associate and ask if they have anything like that. Now with smartphones, you can save the photos of the rings you like right to your phone.
- Know your budget and tell the sales associate what it is. I know some will not agree with this, but if you are looking to spend $2,000.00, why waste time looking at rings that are $10,000.00?
- Know what cut center stone you want. This happens all the time, you have thought about the ring, but not much thought is put into the center stone shape. Do you want a princess cut, a round, a pear, or an emerald Cut? Spend some time on this. If you know what you want, you can tell the sales associate at any store you go to, so they can point you in the right direction.
- Social media is great for getting advice from family and friends. You can do this by taking a photo of the ring on your hand and messaging it right to them. Since the original posting of this post, smartphones have made this much easier. You can post it on Facebook and Instagram to show it to everyone. With selfies being all the rage, take your #engagementringselfie for everyone to see. What I have seen in most cases the ring that catches the eye right from the start is the one that ends up on the hand. Happy shopping and good luck.
