Bad news for boyfriends, husbands and suitors. Some time ago, the British Professional Jeweller website has published a study by the London Jeweler of London Queensmith, which is located in the Hatton Area Garden. The result of the research indicates that a third (32%) of women is disappointed by the engagement ring chosen by their partner. An unhappy conclusion to the fateful moment of the delivery of the ring. It is true, receiving the marriage proposal together with the classic engagement ring can be rewarding for most women. But it is the ring, often, the disappointing aspect of this moment.

Why are women so disappointed? Also according to the survey of the London jeweler, 11% of women expect a larger diamond than the one received (perhaps without being aware of the cost of the brilliant). In fact, this is not surprising: most of the rings with diamond purchased for a declaration are with very small stones. We also consider that the wedding request usually, accompanied by the engagement ring takes place when the age of the couple is young. A boy will be unlikely to earn enough to afford to buy a ring with a tiny diamond. For this reason, the jewelers offer rings that around a very small diamond have a special frame that makes the ring brighter. A diamond pavé (less expensive) or simply a white gold crown can be used.
However, there are also other reasons for dissatisfaction, of which you have to take into account before buying an engagement ring. For example, the same percentage of interviewees (11%) expressed the desire for the ring to be more unusual instead of the classic solitaire. More women said they expected a tailor -made engagement ring by a jeweler. So, renouncing the surprise in order to put on the finger the type of ring that you really want.
There is, however, a solution that almost all men do not think: many women prefer to do it alone. Of course, perhaps the moment of the declaration makes less romantic, there will be no classic image to post on Facebook or Instagram kneeling with him that brings the box with the ring. Yet, to avoid disappointments, almost half of British women (46%) choose the ring by themselves, or rather in the company of the partner (and his credit card).
So what to do to prevent women from being dissatisfied with the engagement ring? The rules to follow are quite simple. The first advice is to observe carefully what his tastes are: does he love the classic? He will not mind a ring with lone diamond. Do you prefer to always dress informally, even during parties or ceremonies? Then avoid the solitaire and prefer a ring with a more recognizable frame, perhaps with a colored gem instead of the white diamond. Of course, another good strategies is to observe well the type of jewelry that she has purchased: they are the best clue of the style that the partner prefers. Finally, if you are still uncertain, you just have to ask some questions, direct or more veiled, choose you.
