How Do You Find Your Partner's Ring?
Congrats you found your soulmate! You know what comes next. You need to find the ring! Which ring works? Where it’s going to happen, what you’re going to say, how you’re going to keep it a secret, and – of course – which engagement rings to buy.
There may be some anxiety about the engagement ring. Let’s face it: it’s not something you typically buy and you likely feel way out of your comfort zone. But buying the perfect ring doesn’t have to be stressful. Consider these tips on how to make the best decision possible.
- Go into stealth mode: It’s time to to secretly discover what kind of jewelry they generally likes. What’s their style? The best way to approach this step is to sneak into their bedroom and look at the jewelry your partner already owns.
- Get into the loop: If you’re going for a “complete surprise” approach you may have to think about who to include (or not include) in this step, but the goal here is to talk those people in your partner's life who know her best, particularly those people who know her sense of style. Connect with their mother, sisters, best friends and ask them what they think they’d like. Visit the Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers website and review the engagement rings together to help with the process.
- Your partner knows what they likes: You may be in a situation where they know’s it coming. Perhaps the surprise isn’t IF you’re going to ask the “big question,” but WHEN and HOW. If this is the case you may want to consider letting them give you some input and suggestions about the engagement ring. Go window browsing together and show them the engagement rings at Schwanke-Kasten locations, and let them give you some ideas about what they like.
