When preparing for a proposal, one of the important choices is the engagement ring. Does it matter how much an engagement ring costs? How will a woman interpret your choice of engagement ring?

Some believe that an engagement ring should be expensive because it symbolizes how much you are willing to invest in your woman. And it is a story not only about material values, but also about support, understanding, emotional presence. It is a symbol.

On the other hand, others will say: the price of the ring does not matter, the meaning is the content and feelings. Not a single romantic movie hero gives his intended gift not a real ring, but a symbolic promise, for example, in the movie "A Star is Born", Jack proposed to Ellie in a private atmosphere with an improvised ring that he tied from a guitar string. But what about life?

The proposal symbolizes your intentions and attitude

Should an engagement ring be expensive - it is a delicate topic, and it is important to delve into each individual situation. There is no one indisputable answer and there never will be. If you are ready for a proposal, you probably know the woman you love well and know what will make her happy and make her feel confident about the seriousness of your intentions.

Just a small suggestion - if you risk proposing to a woman without a ring, make sure that your beloved receives the engagement ring, if not right at the moment of the proposal, which may have come from a pure heart and a clear sky, without you having time to prepare yourself, but very soon after. All women love jewelry, and all women will appreciate a token of attention. Attestations of attention and care are a clear and concrete indication of your intentions and attitude towards a woman, and also show what to expect in your relationship in the future. In the same way, sloppiness, haste, carelessness and inattention tell of what awaits you in the future.

A few decades ago, the advice of experts in the field of weddings and etiquette was to spend an amount equal to the groom's monthly salary for the engagement ring. Later, this amount grew to about two, and even later - up to three monthly salaries. Today, however, it is believed that this question cannot be approached so primitively, and a set of different circumstances must be considered - both the financial situation, the taste of the wearer, and individual decisions and opinions.

Engagement ring - future heirloom

It is known that wedding rings are chosen for life, paying attention to high quality - so that they really serve both practically and emotionally symbolize the power of the couple's love. But the engagement ring is not a temporary piece of jewelry either – it can become the first investment in your family heritage for future generations. If this aspect is important to you, then the answer to the question of whether an engagement ring should be expensive is quite clear and simple. The greater the investment today, the greater the value in the future.

Approaching the choice of an engagement ring so seriously and deliberately, the safest choice is to design the ring in cooperation with a jeweler. The master will not only listen to design wishes and financial possibilities, but will also recommend the most suitable ring for the bride's lifestyle, taking into account practical aspects, such as occupation or the existence of sports in daily rituals. In the same way, it is an opportunity to get to know the jeweler's work and then carefully order the wedding rings.

How to make an engagement ring special?

The classic of engagement rings is a multi-carat diamond. The more carats, the more valuable, rarer and more expensive the gem in the ring. In addition, diamonds are a symbol of eternal love. However, nowadays, when we are moving towards authenticity, we can make a ring special not only with a material value or a traditionally used symbol of engagement.

• If the ring is thoughtfully designed, a smaller stone can make as powerful an impression as a large one.
• What are the values of the couple and what is the priority in choosing a ring is a very personal choice.
• We choose what resonates with us, not what we imagine we expect from society, family or traditions.
• Diamonds, among which transparent diamonds are the most desirable due to their value, can be replaced with other extremely beautiful stones, which are very likely closer to your beloved's heart - ruby, amethyst, pearls, sapphire, emerald. These stones will add color and character to the ring.
• One large diamond is more valuable than several smaller stones of the same weight. However, the combination of several small diamonds can make the design of the ring more exciting.
• If your choice falls in favor of diamonds, then pay attention to the cut of the diamond - the shape of the stone. Not only carats, but also the type of cut determines the value of the diamond - how well the stone will reflect light and how brightly it will shine. Often a smaller diamond in weight, but expertly cut, it looks bigger than a heavier diamond. A round diamond with 57 facets reflects light best.
• A specially designed design that will have a unique imprint, such as the aforementioned fingerprints, words, text or other nuances that will make the jewelry even more special, will be emotionally even more valuable than the weight of the gem.
