When you first begin planning your wedding, it seems so far away. You peruse bridal magazines and blogs at your leisure, collecting ideas for your Pinterest board as your dream wedding begins to materialize.
You watch your countdown slowly tick away the time, and all of a sudden you’re within just a couple short weeks, with a lot of tasks left on the checklist.
You've dreamt about your perfect engagement ring and you think you have a pretty good idea in your head. Then you come face-to-face with the near endless options and you're back at square one.
To prepare for the buying experience, arm yourself with these five questions to ask your jeweler when shopping for an engagement ring:
What’s your biggest worry when it comes to your diamond?
If we took a guess, it would probably be losing it. And while a missing diamond is a legitimate fear, you want to be careful about chipping your diamond as well.
Whether you're a closet selfie taker or proudly strike a pose in the middle of a crowded restaurant, you may have the urge to share the perfect engagement ring selfie when it comes to your marriage proposal.
That's a perfectly normal reaction. In fact, four years ago, it happened to me.
I bet I know what you're thinking. "How do I make my diamond ring look as amazing in a photo as it does on my finger?"
Getting engaged is one of those life-changing moments that makes you want to shout from the rooftops.
It’s right up there with getting into your dream school, having your first baby, and finding out your grandma chose you to inherit her vintage sapphire necklace. (Okay, maybe that last one is just us.)
