A Quick Men’s Guide To Wedding And Engagement Rings
Most men are completely out of their depth when it comes to choosing rings. They know a few things. They know that engagement rings are smaller than wedding rings and they know that most bands are made of gold and the stone of choice and tradition is usually a diamond. Beyond that, though, they are clueless.
Fortunately, many couples opt to choose their rings together these days, so men are left off the hook. Nevertheless, your partner will appreciate it if you show as much interest and enthusiasm in the selection of rings as she does. You can really impress her if you know a few of the wedding ring buzzwords.
When you walk in the store, keep an eye out for the rings that feature a single large diamond that looks a little bit like a lethal weapon. It’s easy to remember the name of these rings. They are solitaire engagement rings. Think of the card game you play alone when you’re bored. Remember that and impress your fiance with your technical terminology.
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.
Because these rings have so many diamonds, they can also represent eternal debt, so you might want to divert her attention to another one called a trilogy ring. These rings have three diamonds in a row, representing the past, the present and the future.
If you can recognize princess cut engagement rings when you see them, then you will really impress her. It’s not hard to do, really. The princess cut is square looking. These are some of the most elegant rings around. If you’re going to buy her an engagement ring on your own, a high quality princess ring is the one that is most likely to get you the affirmative answer you want when you pop the question.
If you really want to be an expert, you’re going to have to know about things like cut, color, clarity and depth. This gets very technical, but if you just know the terminology, you can fake it and the salesperson will likely back you up, even when you’re wrong. They don’t want to alienate a customer, after all.
That’s about all you need to know, really. You aren’t expected to be an expert and your girlfriend or fiance will be deeply impressed even with this little bit of knowledge. As a matter of fact, if you blow it, it won’t matter. She’ll love you for trying, because it shows you care.
