How Should A Man Choose An Engagement Ring?
It has always been the tradition that the man goes out and purchases the diamond engagement ring for the woman he loves and with whom he wants to live for the rest of his life. The woman dreams of the day when the man she loves gets on one knee in front of her to propose marriage. She has probably been waiting for the day when he pulls out the velvet-covered box, opening it to reveal a beautiful, shimmering, diamond engagement ring.

It is a beautiful fairy tale. Unfortunately, this scenario does not always have a happy ending. The man purchases the ring for his beloved, but she does not like it! This disappointment comes after he just spent thousands of dollars on the ring. Or he finds out the ring he bought is too small for her finger. The fairy tale turns into a nightmare of sorts. Worse yet, what if she rejects his proposal a crushing blow and one that now involves negotiating the return of the ring!
Choosing An Engagement Ring Together A New Trend?
A new trend has surfaced to replace the traditional way of becoming engaged. Couples have started going together to pick out the ring instead of having the man buy it independently. A new tradition is being formed for couples. Choosing together symbolises the first decision they will make together as they embark on their new journey of commitment to a shared life.
Checking out engagement rings as a couple can save a lot of money (and hassles). The woman will be there to try it on to ensure a proper fit and avoid the inconvenience of taking it back to the store and exchanging it for one that does fit.
It also saves them money. The woman will be there to help decide which diamond ring best symbolises their love together. Instead of the man picking a ring out that he thinks she'll like while spending too much money on it because he wants to make a good impression.
And, if you are not quite sure she will say yes, you will not want to risk a purchase from a store that will not accept returns. Some stores will not take engagement rings back at all, or they may take it back at a lower price than what you paid for it. With a shared choice, the woman will already have agreed to become engaged, removing doubt and stress from the fortunate male suitor.
Shared Choice Equals Better Choice
With this new practice, couples can spend quality time with each other researching and educating themselves about diamonds. Couples will know which diamond ring would be the perfect purchase.
They can plan what kind of ring they want and even get a custom design! At All Diamond, you can configure a diamond ring from our collections of UK designed engagement rings or even create a unique custom design. If you go down the custom design route, a shared decision is absolutely the way to go!
Couples can, and should, research the average prices for the kind of ring they want so they can prepare ahead of time. Some women still want the element of surprise when the man pulls out a ring and proposes to her. In that case, perhaps the general style and budget can be decided together. The man is entrusted with the responsibility and challenge of making the final choice.
Shopping Is Not The Same As When Your Parents Went Jewellery Buying!
Back in the day, buying an engagement ring was not as easy as today. Finding the best buys was a matter of traipsing around shops without ever being able to see rings from different jewellers next to each other. Learning about what quality of diamonds to look for was more challenging, and most people did not bother. Today, we can use the Internet to make comparison shopping a breeze.
Becoming an informed consumer is as easy as looking at free videos on YouTube. Good online retailers offer a vast selection of diamond engagement rings to suit all tastes and budgets.
Online retailers make choosing an engagement ring a shared process much more comfortable. Couples can share pictures of rings, even if they are not in the same room. Secure delivery makes it easy to shop and receive the engagement ring without taking time off work. Retailers such as All Diamond even offer interest-free financing to make the whole wedding budgeting process more manageable.
Enjoy Buying Your Engagement Ring Together
You can make the entire day a surprise – not letting her know where you will end up next! Consider it a treasure hunt, with hints along the way, and the last stop will be to have her help pick out her diamond engagement ring. Anything is possible, and sharing the moment of shopping for a ring together can be one of the best days of your life.

If you are totally modern, take a day to relax, enjoy time together but make sure to take your iPad and browse through selections of engagement rings online. Look at what fashion-leaders and celebrities are doing. Look at online retailers' collections, discuss and share the ideas you see and make a relaxed choice in the best possible mood.
Buying an engagement ring together will not suit all men and all couples. Still, it is a great option that probably suits many women. For example, not many women will turn down a marriage proposal that she wants to hear. At the same time, how many women end up wearing an engagement ring that they do not really like? When the choice is shared, she gets the best of all worlds – a diamond engagement ring that she's dreamt of and the proposal of marriage that she truly desires.
