Shamail & Michelle Engaged May 2015

No one truly understands the difficulty of selecting an engagement ring until it happens to you.  Statistics show that it takes a male an average of three months of shopping before he makes the final decision. My question is, why three months?

A few years ago, I got asked to spend the rest of my life with a wonderful man. To my dismay, he proposed marriage with an empty box; probably not the best way to begin our life together. His excuse was, “I searched for months but I was afraid to choose the wrong ring.” Fair enough, I get it. With so many styles and endless options, how could he know which ring was me?

Take my experience as a lesson and don’t let the overwhelming thought of picking the perfect ring leave you ring-less. Below are not only a dozen tips on how to figure out her dream engagement ring, they’re also a dozen simple ways to keep a smile on her face.

#1 Check Her Pinterest Board

In this day and age, women pin EVERYTHING. From wedding favors to Super Bowl appetizers, there is no telling what you’ll find. If she has a board titled, My Wedding – you’ve already won.

#2 Her Favorite Hair Style

No matter what the occasion, her hair is always down. “Free-flown” as she would call it. If this is true, consider a designer like Simon G. His intricate detailing gives new meaning to the term artsy. This is ideal for your Boho girl.

#3 Her Shoe Collection

If she’ll always choose fashion over comfort, browse through our Michael M. collection for your sassy, glamour girl. It’ll be the best decision you make all year.

#4 What is her go-to cocktail?

On a night out with her friends, what does she typically order from the bar? If you answered a leggy glass of fruity Cabernet, chances are she’d rock a classic solitaire.

#5 Look In Her Closet

Does she own a lot of lace? No, I’m not talking about her nightie. Are most of her clothing items cream and neutral tones? If so, vintage may be her preferred style.

#6 Her Last Outfit On Earth Would Be…

Gym shorts and a loose tank top. If this comes to mind, she’d be the ideal candidate for a diamond band. I say this with confidence because I too would get married in yoga pants. #NoJudgement

#7 Dog or Cat Person

This might be a sore subject, so I understand if you need to step away. You still here? Good. If she’s a CAT person think vintage, antique styling. For the DOG lovers, it’s all about modern chic.

#8 Browse Her Lipstick Collection

Most girls have a few similar go-to lipstick shades. If your girlfriend isn’t afraid to step out of the box and try bold tones, she’d gawk over our uniquely crafted Verragio pieces.

#9 Her Jewelry Wardrobe

During date night, does she wear dangly earrings and multiple bracelets on one wrist? Pair those whimsical jewelry pieces with an art deco heirloom ring by Kirk Kara.

#10 Her Purse Collection

If she owns a Louis, Fendi or Berkin, it’s safe to say she enjoys the finer things in life. Fulfill her dreams with a head-turner from the Tacori collection. Once a Tacori girl, always a Tacori girl.

#11  Her Favorite Website

The sites she visits are telling of where she does most of her research and if you’re lucky, you may find a bookmarked page of her ideal wedding set.

#12 Just Ask Her

Like my mom has always said, if you don’t ask, you’ll never know the answer. Bring it up casually during a meal; trust me, you’ll both be happier you did.
