Many men before you have found themselves in this exact predicament. No man wants to see a momentary look of disappointment wash over his partner’s face when presenting a ring. Speaking as a woman I am well aware of just how particular some of us can be. If this seems like you, then your best choice could be to kneel down and propose with a loose diamond. No lady will be disappointed when presented with a gorgeous, sparkling diamond.
Proposing with a loose diamond is an option that many young and older future husbands consider. There are many reasons why it would be more convenient and versatile than picking out a ring that your partner will “hopefully” love. To decide if you would like to propose with a loose diamond, read these potential advantages and see if you fit the picture.
How to choose an engagement ring
- If you decide on the middle stone and your partner chooses the ring setting – or maybe if you choose that together – it will turn out to be a rewarding, collaborative, and more equal experience than choosing everything by yourself. More couples are shopping together now than any time in history. This also ensures that both parties are happy with the finished ring. A good idea is to propose with the loose diamond and a written invitation from your jeweller to set up a consultation at her convenience.
The ultimate guide to the perfect ring size
- Even if you are not purchasing a complete ring, there is still a lot to learn before making your diamond purchase. From the 4C’s of diamonds to more advanced diamond qualities, such as fluorescence, diamond grading and symmetry, it’s a good idea to get educated on what makes a diamond sparkle. The more informed you are, the more likely it will be that you will purchase a diamond within your price range. Remember to keep your budget open for the ring, as she might want accent stones on the ring. You will spend quality time together learning about metal choices and design options later.
- Hiding a loose diamond is much easier than a traditional jewellery box, especially if you planning to travel to the place where you want to propose.
Of course, it is very important to still take precautions: keep it in a secure pouch or in the laboratory certification envelope issued by the jeweller. Know where it is at all times, and only carry it on your person straight after your purchase and just before you pop the question.
If you still want the security of having a ring, have the diamond set in a simple solitaire with a lower priced metal such as silver. The ring can then be replaced by your fiancé’s engagement ring of choice later.
