A Man’s Guide To Wedding And Engagement Rings

Most men are pretty hopeless when it comes to engagement and wedding rings. The few things that they do know aren’t worth much. Yes, engagement rings are often smaller than wedding rings. Yes, most rings have gold bands and, right again, the traditional stone for an engagement or wedding is the diamond.

Men are very often let off the hook today because it is acceptable for them to take their fiance into the jewelry store to choose rings with them. Still, don’t underestimate the power of knowledge. She will be touched and impressed if you know some of the most important styles of rings.

Solitaire engagement rings are easy to spot when you go into the store and their name is easy to remember. These are the ones that feature just one large diamond that sticks out from the band and looks like it could do a lot of damage if a woman was angry. To remember the name, just think of the game of solitaire. Point one out to her and drop the name and she’ll be very impressed.

Another type of ring is the eternity ring. This one, too is fairly easy to remember. It will have diamonds running all the way around the circumference of the ring. This unbroken string of diamonds represents eternity.

Eternity rings can be hideously expensive because of the numbers of diamonds on them. Mercifully, the people who design and manufacture rings have come up with a solution that is cheaper but retains the symbolism of everlasting love. These are trilogy rings. They are called this because they have only three diamonds, representing past, present and future.

If you can recognize princess cut engagement rings when you see them, then you will really impress her. It’s not hard to do, really. The princess cut is square looking. These are some of the most elegant rings around. If you’re going to buy her an engagement ring on your own, a high quality princess ring is the one that is most likely to get you the affirmative answer you want when you pop the question.

There are some other things you should know, too, if you want to dazzle her with your expert knowledge. All you really need is the terminology and then the salesperson can fill in the details while giving you the credit. Memorize these four words: cut, clarity, color and depth. Toss them out during the discussion and you’ll sound like a pro.

That’s about all you need to know, really. You aren’t expected to be an expert and your girlfriend or fiance will be deeply impressed even with this little bit of knowledge. As a matter of fact, if you blow it, it won’t matter. She’ll love you for trying, because it shows you care.
