The engagement ring is given by a groom to-be to his future wife as a symbol agreement of marriage between the two of them. Its use dates back to the time of the ancient Romans when men gave their future brides, not a fancy ring made of expensive metal, but an iron hoop.
It’s a good thing that times have changed now and that engagement rings already have a touch of class in them. However, buying one can be a confusing task for the man, especially if he has no idea about rings and even precious metals and gemstones. Here’s a guide to help the clueless men out there.
1. Take the girlfriend out shopping. While shopping for other things, the man can try bringing his girlfriend somewhere near rings are being sold. Pass by a shop and pretend to look at them. More often than not, the woman will give her opinion on what she thinks looks best among those on display. This will give the man a hint on what to buy.
2. While number 1 is lame, the man can also look into his girlfriend’s sense of style. If she likes fancy dresses, then the man should get a fancy ring that will surely, well, tickle her fancy. Otherwise, a simple ring will do.
3. But if all else fails, it would be better for men to bring their girlfriends along when buying the ring so men can be sure what their women will like. However, they should at least find creative ways of doing this rather than simply saying, “Come on honey, let’s buy you an engagement ring.”
The wedding ring is the ultimate symbol of the couple’s union and their vow of being faithful to each other. It is worn on the couple’s left ring finger because of an ancient belief that it had a vein that led directly to the heart.
One of the first steps that a couple takes before their wedding is buying a wedding ring for each of them. This is an important step because they are choosing something that will symbolize their union throughout the rest of their lives.
Here are some tips on buying a wedding ring for couples who are looking for one.
1. Unlike engagement rings, wedding rings do not need to look fancy. Most wedding rings are simple bands with very little design on the surface. Besides, grooms have already broken the bank in buying the engagement ring, so he might as well find rings that will fit not only his and his future bride’s fingers, but also his now depleted budget.
2. Couples usually choose to engrave their names or a simple statement inside their wedding bands. While most jewellers offer this service for free or include this already in the bill, the couple should check out first if this is the case in their jewellery shop of choice.
3. The couple should also be aware of the average prices of different precious metals so they can choose what will fit their budget. This is to prevent couples from adjusting their budget to the price rather than the other way around.
