So you’ve made the decision to propose to a loved one, and you’re getting prepared to mark that new chapter in your life with a special . But wait, a crucial question still lingers: what kind of engagement ring does she want?
The search for the perfect engagement ring is no easy feat, but don’t worry, C W Sellors is here to help make the process easier. We’re here to help you figure out exactly what style of engagement ring your partner dreams of. After all, an engagement ring is the ultimate symbol of your love and commitment, a reflection of her individuality, and don’t forget she’ll be wearing it for the rest of her life so it’s important to get it right. From subtle hints she may have dropped along the way to understanding her personal style, let’s figure out the diamond engagement ring that will sweep her off her feet.
Look at her existing jewellery collection
One of the best ways to get a solid idea of the style of engagement ring she wants is to look at her existing jewellery collection. Notice the type of metals, gemstones, and overall design aesthetic she tends to gravitate towards. Is she drawn to classic yellow gold or does she prefer the crispness of silver or white gold? Maybe she wears a lot of pink-hued rose gold and would enjoy a rose gold engagement ring to match? Take note of the vibrancy of her jewellery. Does she adore bright coloured gemstones or tend to stick to classic white diamonds? Is there a lot of sparkle or just a little? All of these observations will provide valuable clues for your ring selection.
Ask her friends and family
It’s highly likely that your special someone has already confided in those closest to her about the style of engagement ring she dreams of. So, recruit their best friend to get some insider knowledge and find out if they have had conversations about engagement rings in the past. Make sure to do this discreetly and ensure those you ask are good at keeping secrets! You could even ask her friend to accompany you on a ring shopping excursion to one of our boutiques!
Take a look at her Pinterest and other social media
Social media platforms like Pinterest can be treasure troves of inspiration. Check out her social media pages and see if there are any posts of diamond engagement rings that she has interacted with that might serve as inspiration. Maybe she follows a particular designer or jeweller and has already marked her personal favourites with likes and shares? Just remember to keep your browsing discreet to maintain the element of surprise.
Consider her style
Another easy and subtle way to work out which engagement ring she wants is to consider her fashion sense and overall style. Is she drawn to contemporary fashion or does she steer more towards vintage and retro clothing? If it’s the latter, then vintage-inspired engagement rings would be perfect for her. On the other hand, if she’s someone with a clean and comfortable aesthetic, she’s more likely to prefer timelessly elegant designs like the solitaire engagement ring.
Have a conversation
If you’ve tried all the above and you’re still stuck for inspiration, it might be worth trying to have a conversation with your loved one. If you’ve been together long enough, and you’ve spoken about the prospect of marriage, it’s highly likely she’s already dropped some hints. But if these have left your brain, try and engage her in casual conversations about engagement rings or even jewellery preferences in general. You can subtly bring up topics like ring styles, metals, or stone shapes and gauge her reaction. By expressing your curiosity and genuine interest, you can create an open dialogue where she might reveal her desires without suspecting your intentions.
