Questions to Ask Yourself Before Saying YES to the Ring

Are you thinking about proposing soon? If so, you might be wondering what it will feel like to find the ring and how you will know that the one you choose is the right one. 

At Koser Jewelers, we believe that engagement ring shopping is simpler than most people make it. Here is what we think you should consider before saying “yes!” to the ring. 

The only two questions that matter

When it comes down to finding the right ring, we believe that the only two questions you need to ask yourself are: “Do I feel proud to give this to her?” and “Will she love it?” The only opinions in this scenario that really matter come from two people and two people only. You and her.

Here’s a breakdown of what both of these questions mean. 

Do you feel proud of this ring?

When you think about the question, “Do I feel proud to give this ring to her?” imagine how you feel with your future bride wearing this ring on her finger for the rest of your lives. How will you feel when your future bride shows this ring off to her friends? 

When you find a ring, and you wonder if it’s the one, consider if you would be thrilled to give her. If the answer is yes, move to the next question!

Will she love it?

Next, you need to consider if your future fiancée will love the ring. Does she have expectations? Does this ring “checks all the boxes” for her?

Try to envision the moment she first sees it. What is the expression on her face? If you’re pretty sure that she’ll be absolutely smitten, you’re on the right track. 

If your partner hasn’t given you any indication about what kind of ring she would like, here are some tips you can use to get some clues:

• Check her Pinterest account and see if she has a “ring board.”
• Ask some trusted friends and family members.
• Listen to her comments about friends’ rings.
• Consider her style: Is she trendy, or does she prefer more classic styles? Knowing answers like that will help your jewelry consultant to guide you to the right choice. 

Don’t overcomplicate it

Sometimes, we find that guys have trouble saying “yes” to the ring because they had prior expectations about how it would feel to find “the one.” Some people do get the “you-just-know” feeling, but many others never do. 

Don’t assume you’ll feel entirely at ease saying “yes” to the ring (even if it’s perfect) because you don’t know how it feels to buy an engagement ring until you do it! 

You might feel nervous, anxious, gitty, or all of the above. But if you’re proud of the ring you’re buying, and you know she’ll love it, try not to overthink the process. Purchasing an engagement ring should be exciting and enjoyable. When it’s not, it’s usually because it’s being overcomplicated.

Stop in soon!

If you know you’ve found the partner who’s “the one,” stop in soon! We’ll help you find the perfect ring that will have her saying “YES” in no time!
