A Men's Guide To Wedding And Engagement Rings
Most men are pretty hopeless when it comes to engagement and wedding rings. The few things that they do know aren't worth much. Yes, engagement rings are often smaller than wedding rings. Yes, most rings have gold bands and, right again, the traditional stone for an engagement or wedding is the diamond.
Today, many couples go and choose their wedding rings together. This takes a lot of pressure off men. Nonetheless, if you go the the jewelry store and can sound like you know what you're talking about, your future spouse will love you even more for it. All you need to know are a few key things.
Solitaire engagement rings are easy to spot when you go into the store and their name is easy to remember. These are the ones that feature just one large diamond that sticks out from the band and looks like it could do a lot of damage if a woman was angry. To remember the name, just think of the game of solitaire. Point one out to her and drop the name and she'll be very impressed.
Another one that's pretty easy to remember is the eternity ring. These rings are completely surrounded by a string of diamonds. Because the circle is complete, they symbolize eternity.
Eternity rings can be hideously expensive because of the numbers of diamonds on them. Mercifully, the people who design and manufacture rings have come up with a solution that is cheaper but retains the symbolism of everlasting love. These are trilogy rings. They are called this because they have only three diamonds, representing past, present and future.
All women want to feel like princesses, so if you're out shopping on your own and want to be sure she'll love your choice of ring, take a look at some princess cut engagement rings. They're easy to spot. They are cut square. These rings are very elegant looking and it's almost a sure thing that if you buy her one, she will love it forever and by extension, you. If you're looking for a 'yes' answer, get her one of these.
There are some other things you should know, too, if you want to dazzle her with your expert knowledge. All you really need is the terminology and then the salesperson can fill in the details while giving you the credit. Memorize these four words: cut, clarity, color and depth. Toss them out during the discussion and you'll sound like a pro.
If you memorize these few things, you should be alright. She doesn't really expect you to know anything and will be flattered and impressed that you have taken the time to learn. Even if you mess it up, she'll appreciate it that you cared for her enough to try.
