Jul 22nd 2007 08:55 am Why Are Couples Buying Diamond Engagement Rings Together?
Ask any woman how they would like to be proposed to and chances are they’ll tell you that their man will kneel down on bended knee, pull out a velvet covered box and open it. He then reveals the most spectacular, sparkling diamond ring as he asks for her hand in marriage.
Sounds perfect doesn’t it? Unfortunately, this scenario doesn’t always have a happy ending. Instead the woman looks down to see a horrible ugly lump of a ring which has just cost thousands of pounds. Or else, the ring is too small for her finger. The fairy tale quickly turns into a mini-nightmare.
So it’s no wonder that women are accompanying their spouse-to-be to the jewellers to make sure that the most perfect ring is selected. It has now become tradition for couples because it symbolizes the first decision they will make together as they embark on their new journey of commitment.
Browsing engagement rings as a couple can save a lot of money (and hassles) in the end. The woman will be there to try it on to make sure it fits and to avoid the nuisance of having to take it back to the jeweller and exchange it for one that does fit.
It may also save some money as the woman can select the ring she really likes based on how it looks on her finger rather than the man selecting an expensive ring just to make a good impression.
And then of course for the man’s benefit, he’ll save any embarrassment of having to return to the shop. A woman wants to be able to enjoy wearing the ring well past the 25th anniversary. With this new tradition, couples can spend quality time with each other researching and educating themselves about diamonds so that they know which diamond ring would be the perfect purchase.
Every detail can be planned, including whether to commission a custom design! Prices can also be researched ahead of time. Some women still want the element of surprise when the man pulls out a ring and proposes to her.
