The ring is something that she is going to wear every day for the rest of her life, so you want her to love it! Making this important decision can seem overwhelming, but here is some great news: you don\u2019t have to make the decision alone! Nowadays it is not uncommon for your significant other to choose her own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-wedding\/engagement-rings?cid=Social&scid=Scblog&cnid=CouplesERGuide&atid=ERs&promo_name=ShaneCoBlog&promo_id=sBlog&promo_creative=Soc_SCB_sBlg_February2016_CoupleERGuide_ERs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engagement ring<\/a>. In fact, shopping for a ring together can be really fun and memorable. Now before you go running to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/jewelry-store-finder\/?cid=Social&scid=Scblog&cnid=CouplesERGuide&atid=Store&promo_name=ShaneCoBlog&promo_id=sBlog&promo_creative=Soc_SCB_sBlg_February2016_CoupleERGuide_StoreLocator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nearest jeweler<\/a>, here are a few tips:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Communication Is Key<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before shopping, make sure you are both on the same page and are ready to take the next step together. When you are positive it\u2019s the right time, sit down and discuss what she wants in a ring. Talk about styles, diamond shapes and center stone options. Communicating this with each other beforehand can help make the ring shopping process much easier. Talking about how much you want to spend and how you will pay for it is also very important.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do Your Research<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are so many places to shop for engagement rings. Check out jewelers\u2019 websites to see what they have to offer. Review sites such as Yelp and WeddingWire are also great places to do your research and read customer reviews. When you do start shopping, ask plenty of questions! This isn\u2019t something you shop for every day and asking questions will help you make the most educated decision. At Shane Co., our sales people do not work on commission and they are happy to teach you everything you need to know about engagement rings and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/jewelry-education\/diamonds-101?cid=Social&scid=Scblog&cnid=CouplesERGuide&atid=4Cs&promo_name=ShaneCoBlog&promo_id=sBlog&promo_creative=Soc_SCB_sBlg_February2016_CoupleERGuide_4Cs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Cs of diamonds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Relax and Have Fun<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Buying a ring is a big decision and it\u2019s easy to get caught up in all of the stress. The most important thing to remember is to have fun. Taking your fianc\u00e9e-to-be engagement ring shopping is something she will remember for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Be Ready if You Find \u201cThe One\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once you find the perfect ring, make sure to buy it soon after. You don\u2019t want the ring of her dreams to be sold to someone else.

Plus, you will have plenty of opportunities to surprise your special someone during the proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When the time comes to ask that special someone to
