Preparation is everything
Are you the kind of couple who likes to figure everything out together, and weigh as many different options as possible in advance? If you’re going to choose an engagement ring together, get comfy on the sofa with your laptop and browse online first to explore all the types of engagement rings on the market. Pinterest is, of course, full of great ideas, and the online portfolios of House of Weddings jewellers are sure to inspire you too! That way, you’ll already get an initial picture of your dream rings.
Tastes can differ...
Do you already know exactly what you want—and what you don’t? Imagine this: you’re (just in case!) showing your partner your five favourite engagement rings... and it turns out they would choose something completely different! Your partner has different tastes when it comes to wedding jewellery—in terms of style, shape, colour, maybe even the cut of the gemstones. No panic! Visit the jewellery designer(s) or jeweller of your choice together and pick out a promising engagement ring as a first try. Explain your situation with a smile... Bet you’ll figure it out together. ‘What if... one day...’, right...
No thanks, traditions
Are you not really into typical wedding traditions? Traditionally, an engagement comes with a bit of excitement, a bit of suspense... One of the two surprises the other with a beautiful, promising little box, the question—and the engagement ring. Nowadays, however, more and more couples decide together to tie the knot. For practical reasons, or simply because you’re not really “tradition people”. You’ll create your own tradition—and go choose your engagement ring together!
Leaving all the stress about choosing the ideal engagement ring aside: above all, enjoy this wonderful experience. As a team, you’re searching for one (or two!) beautiful ring(s) that shout to the outside world that you’ll stay together forever. Could it be any more romantic? So be sure to take the time afterwards to savour the experience, and the meaning of that small round ring...
