You are in love, so happy and have been talking about marriage. Bliss! You have a romantic weekend away planned and think he may just ask. How exciting!
Do you know what your perfect engagement ring looks like? Have you thrown enough hints?
No doubt your man is wonderful but men generally aren’t great at taking hints and often need some gentle persuasion. Here are a few tips to get the ring you want.
First, make sure he has seen the inside of your jewellery box and knows if you are partial to yellow gold or white gold and platinum. If you are getting dressed for an evening out, mention your jewellery as you are accessorizing and show him a few pieces in your preferred metal and style.
If it is around Christmas time, great. You can bring him shopping and head into a jewellery store on the pretence of a gift for someone else. As you pass by rings (any rings, not just engagement rings), mention what you like and dislike. Big solid centre stones, cut of stones, clusters, diamonds on the band etc. Be specific but casual!
Jewellery is advertised in all magazines. Leave a page open to one you like.
If you have a friend that is recently engaged, mention it and tell your man what her ring was like and why you liked it or didn’t.
Most importantly consider your style. Are you a vintage girl, classic, modern or traditional? Mention your general style as often as you can. You can work it into general conversations about room decor or even clothing but make sure he knows what your style is at the very least. Then a good jewellery shop assistant can help.
And don’t forget, he loves you and wants you to love the ring he has chosen!
Happy hinting!
