You researched the 4Cs; you asked your significant other's parents for their blessing, and you made one of the biggest purchases of your life - the engagement ring.
For many, the engagement ring is one of the most expensive purchases you encounter after a home or a vehicle. It's highly unlikely that you'll misplace an entire building or a car, but that tiny, precious ring might be a little nerve-wracking to keep track of.
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.)
Buying jewelry isn’t the same as buying a new outfit. We’re willing to bet you buy a new piece of clothing at least every other month, so you’re kind of a pro.
How often do you buy jewelry, though? Probably not nearly as often. (We’re talking more Tiffany & Co.® than Forever 21 here.)
Not only do you go through the process less often, it’s also a bit more complex than choosing the most flattering sweater. There’s cut, color, clarity, carat – enough to make your head spin.
