An engagement ring is a symbolic piece of jewelry which someone chooses to wear that indicates that they have made a commitment to a partner and vice versa. Engagement rings come in many shapes, sizes, colors and designs, it’s really up to personal taste. In terms of choosing an engagement ring, it really depends on the couple. Some couples like to choose the ring together and to make an occasion of it but many couples like to surprise their other half and select a ring for them based on what they believe their partner will like. That’s a risky option certainly but it definitely will amp up the surprise and wow factor… and if a partner chooses one that the other adores, it makes for major brownie points! That is not to say that choosing an engagement ring is an easy thing to do…because it most certainly is not. If you feel confident about what you think they would like, then go for it but another option is to choose a ring that is just a decoy for the real thing. Choose an inexpensive ring that resembles an engagement ring and use it to create the proposal moment but explain to your partner that you want to choose the main ring together! It’s really up to the individual couples as to what suits them best in terms of choosing a ring!
