Step 5: Be Prepared

Doing your homework before your first in-store shopping experience will make you feel knowledgeable and prepared.  This article is a basic guide, but there are many other helpful online resources:  preciousplatinum.com is a great place to start learning about the engagement ring.

It’s also a good idea to talk with people you know who have experience before you shop.  This includes her family and friends.  Her mother or sisters may be able to help you figure out what she wants if you're hoping to surprise her.

You may want to consider buying your ring in a set.  Many jewelers offer two- or three-ring sets that include wedding bands with the engagement ring.

Remember that depending where you go the prices of most engagement rings are negotiable (although not by much).  When telling a salesperson your budget, underestimate.  They will probably show you a few rings that are a little outside the budget that you tell them.  Be sure to ask about their return policy, service plans, warranties, certifications, and upgrade options!
