Would you, women, be willing to pay out of your pocket for the engagement ring? No? You are in the minority. There are many women who, to have an engagement ring, are ready to attack their bank account. For sure, for example, this is the opinion of the majority of English women. A study conducted long ago in Britain by the jewelry department of the TV channel Qvc (specializing in online sales) revealed that 54% of British women would be willing to contribute financially to the purchase of their engagement ring. For having one.

Not only that: one in five women confessed to having purchased her own engagement ring herself. What’s the reason? Have men stopped having interest in women, so much so as not to show their love by spending on the ring? Fortunately, this is not the case. Rather, it is the difficult economic situation that makes it less easy for men to open their wallets to buy a ring with a brilliant, also because it has been calculated that the cost of a diamond ring corresponds on average to one or two monthly salaries.
Buying an engagement ring is not a simple expense. To this is added another factor: women are less and less satisfied with a ring with a 0.000001 carat diamond. On the contrary, they want a jewel to be proudly showing friends and relatives, with a clearly visible gem. But that type of rings, you know, are very expensive. This dissatisfaction pushes many women to enter a jewelry to choose the ring model to be inserted on the finger.
Another reason that often causes dissatisfaction is not only the size of the diamond, but also the model of the chosen ring. Although the classic white gold ring with a solitary diamond mounted at the top is the most common engagement ring, there is no shortage of women who have the desire to show off a different jewel, which is distinguished most. It should not be forgotten that the famous engagement ring given by the then Prince Charles (now king) to Diana Spencer was a ring with a large blue sapphire, which then ended up on Kate Middleton’s finger, now Princess of Cambridge.
If you think you choose yourself the engagement ring, however, you must be careful not to ruin your relationship. The purchase of the ring is a delicate moment in life with two, which will remember for a long time, all life. If you don’t want your partner to choose the ring, however, avoid telling him that he would not be able to do it, that he has not understood your tastes or, worse, that it is economically inadequate. Better, however, present your choice as an intelligent solution not to waste money, to avoid waste of time or as an example of a role of less passive woman. It can be a less traumatic explanation and welcomed with serenity by the future husband.
Another technique to choose yourself the engagement ring, but pretending that he has chosen it, it is to bring your partner in front (casually) to the showcase of the jewelry that you have previously identified. Of course you have to be careful not to be too direct, but to make your tastes understand and that you would not mind taking a look at the jewel directly.
