The most interesting question that pops up while discussing the purchase of engagement rings is: should my partner and I shop together? Or is it okay to look for engagement rings along with my partner?
The reason for selecting this question is that it will tell us how couples would get to know more about each other, the nature of their relationship in the future, etc.
The engagement ring is not just a piece of ordinary silverware, but rather it symbolizes commitment, love, and affection that you have for your partner. It is one thing you will be looking at every day, and hence, it needs to be perfect. Now, we can go about this in two ways: Either couple can shop together and find the perfect pair of rings or surprise each other by choosing rings for their partner.
Let us have a look at the pros and cons of shopping together.
PROS OF SHOPPING TOGETHER
The first and foremost advantage is that it reduces the pressure of finding the suitable item all alone. Secondly, since your partner is with you, you needn’t get tense whether they would like what you have selected. Engagement rings have a wide range of varieties, be it the metal, type of stone, size, shape, etc. If both are present while selecting the rings, it would be easier for you to conclude sooner as to which call would be better.
You will get to know your partner more, and the risk of not finding the perfect item is eliminated.
CONS OF SHOPPING TOGETHER
The only possible drawback is that the element of surprise will be eliminated since your partner already knows what you would be giving her. Sometimes, while shopping together, if your partner chooses something out of your budget, it tends to get awkward.
SHOPPING TOGETHER - YES or NO?
We need to find out if shopping together will work out.
For this, couples should talk to each other and decide based on mutual interests. They can decide on how they want to shop, where to get the rings from, etc. They can decide whether to purchase the rounds online or plan a trip to buy the rings to spice up things a bit. Couples can open up about the budget that they have kept for the purchase as well. If everything goes well, you and your partner will be delighted that both of you will be wearing the ring you think that you deserve.
Now, couples who want to bring an element of surprise to the function can purchase rings for their partner, as said in the beginning.
Selecting an engagement ring would appear tedious, but it is as simple as a pie if you know your partner’s style and liking.
You can find out about your partner’s likes and dislikes by talking to them. You need to be a vigilant observer and pay attention even to the smallest detail they might tell. You can also discuss with your partner’s close friends, coworkers, family members, etc., to have an idea of what style would suit your partner. You can observe your partner and get an idea about their style. For example, you can keep your female counterpart to know her interest in jewellery. You can follow the style of jewellery that she is currently using: fine jewellery, vintage type, or primary type.
Hence, you can get an idea of what her preference would be. You can also take into account your partner’s occupation. If they work at an office, then something fancier would be nice. Otherwise, if they work outside, then something plain and simple would be nice. By this, you get to know more about your partner. You would be able to pick out something that suits them from their likes and dislikes.
FINAL THOUGHTS
An engagement ring is meant to be for a lifetime. Each time you look at it, you need to feel a special connection with your partner. The nature of your relationship with your partner helps you decide whether you should purchase the rings together or purchase them alone and then give your partner a surprise. By purchasing together, you get to spend more time with your partner. If you are bold enough and think of giving your partner a surprise, you will get to know more about them and make them feel special with the gift.
