Make sure she says yes: Choosing the right engagement ring for

your girlfriend

If you are planning on proposing to your girlfriend then you will undoubtedly be filled

with excitement, stress, anticipation, anxiety, and every other emotion under the sun.

You want to make sure your proposal is one to remember; something your partner

can brag about to anybody who will listen.

In order to do this you need to pick the perfect ring. Your girlfriend’s engagement ring

is going to be on the hand for the rest of her life, and she won’t be very impressed if

you don’t pick a stunning sparkler.

The best thing you can do is your research. Talk to your soon-to-be bride’s family

and friends. Take a look on the internet and assess your options. If you look at the

Astley Clarke range you will be able to see all engagement ring styles and this will

give you the full image of what is available. And, make sure you have a look in your

girlfriend’s jewellery box. You will need to know her ring size and you will also need

to get a feel for what she likes. Is her jewellery chunky and bold? Or does she like

more delicate and elegant styles? Furthermore, does she wear more gold or silver?

It is recommended that you go for the metal which is most similar to what your

girlfriend wears the most of. If she wears a lot of gold then going for platinum isn’t

recommended. You should opt for gold because you know she likes it and you know

it will match most of her jewellery.

You then need to concern yourself with the stone. The traditional option is to go for a

clear diamond. However, if your girlfriend has a quirky and colourful style then you

may wish to go for a colour gemstone, such as sapphire or emerald. The colour is

not only important; you need to think about the shape of the stone too. If your

girlfriend has an elegant style then a pear stone is a fantastic option. This is dainty

and feminine. If not, then you could go for a large rectangular shape diamond – this

is striking and dazzling.

A final recommendation is not to buy the first nice ring you lay your eyes upon. You

should always save the page online and then come back to it a few days later. The

choice you make is huge and therefore you need to be certain that you make the

right decision.

If you use this article as a guide then you should have no trouble finding the perfect

engagement ring for your lucky bride to be.
