Engagement Ring Myths

Engagement Ring Myths

Ring buying shopping can be quite intimidating. It’s a big milestone in your life so you want to make it just right! If you dig around online some will tell you this many months’ salary for the ring and how you should do it, but today we’re here to set the record straight.

1.       Bigger is better when it comes to the center stone

          a.       No one diamond is perfect for every couple and that’s okay. Some want a more petite look with a smaller center stone and others want to rock a unique engagement ring that fits their personality and all of those are great! Each couple is different and have other expectations on the cut, color, clarity and price. Here at Bay Area Diamond, we respect your budget and willing to help you find the perfect ring for you.

2.       2-3 Month’s Salary for the Budget

          a.       This has been said for decades which proves just how outdated this concept is. There is no set price range you must spend on an engagement ring. Spend however much you are comfortable spending. We have stunning of engagement rings for every budget!

3.       Surprise them!

          a.       Something that we are seeing more often is shopping for engagement rings with your significant other. This helps the one proposing get a general idea of what type of ring their partner truly likes and wants to wear for the rest of their life. The proposal will still be total shock for the receiver, so the surprise element is still intact.

4.       We can read your mind

          a.       As much as we would love that power, we don’t know what exactly is going through your head. It helps when you share all the pictures of inspiration you have saved on your phone. It’s also useful to chat with your partner or their friends to get a feel for the style they’d like and preferences. We want all these details so we can make sure the ring is exactly what they’re hoping for!

If you’re in the process to start looking at engagement rings, we’d love to hear more from you! Shoot us a message or call us at (715) 785-5140. We have a wide selection of engagement rings for you to browse and we can of course help you create the ring of their dreams!
