Diamonds, Love and Money

Seven Steps To Heaven - Engagement Rings

So... you're in love and you want to buy your girlfriend a wedding engagement ring. You spoke to her about it and she said, "It doesn't matter what you get, I'm sure I'm going to love it." And you think to yourself, "Oh, Oh! Now what do I do? I don't know a thing about diamonds and if I get something she doesn't like, I'll never hear the end of it."

Here are a few simple things to keep in mind from someone that was a diamond cutter, jewelry salesman and jewelry appraiser on 47th St. in New York City.

#1. Don


just be an expert on loving her and rely on the purchase of a "Certified Diamond" from a reputable jewelry store.
#2. Your budget is your Budget IS YOUR BUDGET...
many happy couples purchase several diamond rings as their loves grows through the years... Two months after the marriage, she won't be nearly as concerned about the ring on her finger as the "little house" she has on her mind... An extra $5,000 $10,000 or more in the bank is going to come in very handy as a down payment on her dream house.
#3 Let HER pick out the setting and DON'T ARGUE with her choice...
that is unless you plan to wear it on YOUR finger... it's true... and I saw couples get into fights as I stood behind the jewelry counter showing them rings... be generous on the wedding setting… it will make her diamond that much more precious to her.
#4 Have your fianc? pre-shop stores with HER BEST FRIEND...
women love to shop and share secrets with their girlfriends and it takes the pressure off you... Listen to her as she tells you what she saw and what she likes and say, "I'm so glad you found something you really like... let's go together and pick out the one that shines brightest when we look in each other's eyes."
#5 BUY Insurance...
Don't wait until you get home to buy insurance... it's already too late... a diamond can fall out of a ring without warning at any time... even in the parking lot of the jewelry store... that's why you need to be insured before you buy her an engagement ring... it's shows you will care for and protect her.
#6 Make the diamond sales person WORK FOR THE SALE...
sure you can walk in, pick out an engagement ring, the price looks good and just buy it! Don't do it... she's watching you.... the mark up on diamonds is high, the competition is fierce and many jewelry stores offer gifts to close the sale - weekend getaways, dinners, theater tickets, etc. Besides saving money, she's going to remember the romantic dinner you had at an exclusive restaurant courtesy of your jewelry store.
#7 HAVE FUN TOGETHER
A positive experience buying an engagement ring bodes well for your marriage and future life together. Make it a party! Dress up to go the store... Have a romantic morning that turns into a visit to the jewelry store… celebrate each other on the special day you buy her engagement ring and your family and friends with celebrate your marriage and many, many, many, many happy wedding anniversaries.
