Congratulations! You’ve decided to make the most important decision of your life — committing to the person you want to marry and spend the rest of your life with. Becoming engaged is a blissful and exciting time that will bring you and your partner closer together, as well as closer to your family and friends as you celebrate this special milestone.
Finding the perfect engagement ring to symbolize your union is an important task. Before you start shopping for the perfect ring, consider a few things:
Having some idea ahead of time about what type of ring you want to use to pop the question with is helpful and will allow you to narrow down the limitless options before you step into a store or begin browsing online. Consider asking a family member or close friend for tips on where to start looking to maintain the surprise of your proposal plans.
Engagement rings come in many shapes, sizes, colors, and styles — so think of how to describe your partner’s style and personality in a way that can help translate into the perfect ring. Here are a few distinct styles to keep in mind.

Don’t get caught up in all of the ring lingoes — bezel settings, radiant cuts and split shanks aside — it’s important that she loves the ring you choose and will want to wear and cherish it for a lifetime.
