Thing about your girlfriend for a few minutes. By now you may have heard her talk about her ideal engagement ring, she may have paused in front of a shop window and pointed out some nice ones. If she has, you’re one step ahead, but if you haven’t its time to do some serious research on her. Women take engaement very seriously so make sure you get it right when picking the right ring for your girlfriend so you need to think i.e is your girlfriend traditional, creative, adventurous, eccentric, girly, or contemporary?

If your girlfriend is traditional, you may want to run the idea of proposal to her parent’s first and take the opportunity to ask them what type of engagement ring they think she’d like. Her parents will more than likely be of some help in the area, especially her mother. And this gesture will come off as polite, responsible, and traditional. The traditional girl is classy and elegant; she isn’t worried about current fashion trends, When I think of the traditional girl, I think of gold and platinum with a Tiffany or solitaire setting. More than likely she is highly interested in the quality, clarity and carat of the ring. Traditional cuts would be best suited for her leaning towards a princess or round cut. Romance and sincerity are important keys in proposing to her.

If this doesn’t sound at all like your girlfriend, let’s think about another type of girl. She is spontaneous, independent and eccentric with a creative streak She knows what’s going on in the fashion world, wears current trends with added personal touches and fun twists. She may not be the type of girl that needs or wants you to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, this will probably be more dependent on who her parents are. Platinum and silver bands are probably preferred over the traditional gold band and she may enjoy other diamond colors such as pink or yellow. She would be interested in more unique or patented cuts such as a slope, mixed or marquis cut.

If you need more information about the type of ring she would like your best bet is asking her best friend or looking at the jewelry she currently owns. Is her jewelry timeless, classic, bold or vintage? You can figure a lot out by looking at a girl’s jewelry collection regardless of what kind of girl she is.
