How to buy an engagement ring

After you decide to pop the question, your search for the perfect ring begins here.

To help you find a ring that will take your sweetheart’s breath away, prepare some answers to the following questions about your loved one before visiting a jewellery store:

What is her skin tone? 
What is her hair and eye colour? 
What colours does she usually wear? 
What metal colour does she prefer – white, yellow or a mixture? 
What is her finger length – does she have long slender fingers?
What is her style – for example does she like fine or contemporary jewellery? 
What is her lifestyle – is she sporty, elegant or both? 
Does she like a single-stone solitaire, three stones, or multiple stones?
Does she want a straight or fitted wedding band?

You can also consider taking a photo of your bride-to-be along with you – the more information you can provide, the easier it will be to find the perfect ring.
