The Cut & Style

Are you considering a simply styled ring or one with adornments? The shape or the cut of the ring is always a great place to start in your engagement ring search.

Go for a design that matches your partner’s style. Study them to see what kind of jewelry they like. If she is drawn to cool or shiny hues, then you may want to opt for sterling silver engagement rings.

Size matters

It’s easy to get the correct ring size if you are ring shopping with your partner, however, the challenge comes when you want it as a complete surprise. At the jewellers, you will find a ring size chart to guide you on identifying the ring size.  All you need is a close estimation and the jeweler will help you get a size that closely fits. How do we suggest you get the measurements in the first place? Well, you have to be creative! Measure her finger as she sleeps or ask their close friend and family to gather the information for you.

The blending rule

Not to be presumptuous, but it might be a great idea to buy your wedding bands and the engagement ring from the same jeweler. Not only does this save you on cost, but it also assures you of buying pieces that blend or complement each other. Find a jeweler that can give you varieties of both rings so that you can choose in advance.

Of money matters

An engagement ring is a pretty deep commitment. However, be sure to work within your budget. Also keep in mind that the more stones and adornments you want, the more the price goes up. If budget allows, you could also opt to engrave a message or initials on the ring.

The Ideas Jar

Relationships are about inclusivity. A great way to get spontaneous and collect Valentine’s ideas from your partner is by putting together your thoughts. As you plan towards the day, set up a jar or a box where each partner will drop in a written out thought on simple ideas to do for Valentines.

Dinner at home

Home cooked meals are a sure way of saving a few coins for this Valentine’s Day. You automatically spend more when you eat out due to the logistical expenses incurred. To get the mood right, you could play some warm music and work on ambiance lighting by using candles. Spruce up the dining room with a few petals or flowers and accompany the dinner with a good bottle of wine or your favorite drink. Point to note, eating in is not an excuse for shabby dressing. Dress up and play the part.

Thinking flowers?

Valentines doesn’t just have to be about red roses, which tend to be a bit more expensive on this day.  Go for other floral options in the market. Alternatively, you could buy the roses early in advance, store them carefully and save yourself some coins. Choose bouquets with tight buds thereby allowing them to stay fresh for a longer period as you await the D-Day to approach.

Silver Jewelry in the form of unique pendant, ring or bracelet pieces are affordable gifts that you can go for.  Make sure you choose a trusted jeweler with a variety of pieces to choose from.

A little nostalgia

Take a trip down memory lane to the day you had your first date. This can help you set the mood for a fun-filled evening and a grand gesture. Memories are built on intimacy and it is only fitting that you set the stage of a lasting relationship by acknowledging where it all started. If not first dates, try to revisit or recreate special moments that had an impact on your relationship.

Let nature do the trick

The calmness and tranquility of a nature walk or a hike, for the free-spirited, can set a great scene to pop the question. Beautiful sceneries tied with heartfelt declarations on how your life has changed will most definitely bring forth a few tears. However, be mindful of weather patterns and wild animals, especially if you opt for an in-the-wild kind of proposal.

Let’s play a game

If you are looking for the extraordinary, why not make a game out of it, say, by creating a treasure hunt or a trivia game? This proposal will one, through them off balance as they are less likely to suspect the agenda and two, bring you two closer in the most informal setting. Be mindful however not to make it too complicated that your partner gets frustrated and worked up. You wouldn’t want your partner to be in a foul mood when proposing, right?

A ‘this could be us’ presentation?

Picture this. A slideshow or show picture clip starts playing when you two have settled down to catch up on your favorite TV show. Pictures then start streaming by of the two of you together highlighting the important moments. The last slide then sums it up showing what the future will bring then comes the question, ‘Will you marry me?’  This scenario values privacy and comfort, plus, you will get bonus points for creativity.

Shout it on the mountains top.

This is for the ones who a looking for a public and lasting impression. Valentine proposals in movie theaters, music concerts or over the radio are sights to behold. This, however, requires adequate planning and a few calls or trips to the venue of choice just to get the proposal right.

Proposals are meant to be emotional and if someone asks, ‘how did you two get engaged?’ a romantic story on your perfect Valentine’s engagement is always a heartwarming start.

It is relatively easy to get the right ring size after she says yes, so how do we do it before she says yes

So how does John Doe actually get the size right?

1. Get measured. This method will favor those who are looking into making the vows. The couple will just go to the vendor and get measured. Not a good idea, however, if you want to

spark the element of surprise that comes with engagements

2. Compare your fingers. Please don’t do this too seriously, she will suspect, make it look romantic. You know that move we like, holding her hand across the table while on a coffee date? Make it a habit and try and compare her fingers with yours and see what finger would be a close enough size to her ring finger. You must have good estimates for this method.

3. A little help from family or friends. This could work perfectly if she was a person who likes jewelry. You could ask a friend or a family member to ‘steal’ one of her jewelry for comparison. If not you can make her friends to take her ring shopping just for fun then get her size for you.

4. Stick her jewelry Ring on a bar of soap. This might work well for people who already leave together. If she’s the kind of girl who counts her stuff before and after use of jewelry, you can pick one of her rings to press it against a bar of soap to imprint the size. You can them take it to your vendor.

You now have options, right?

When she opens the package, get to your knees and show the ring. With this, you have to make arrangements with coca cola as well as your girlfriend’s manager.
