Engagement Ring Issues
Although they wouldn’t probably ever admit it, some men are just born to shop and seem to have a real knack for picking out the ring that is exactly right for their future spouse. Unfortunately most of these men are gay. Just kidding.
Seriously though it wouldn’t hurt some of us straight men to have a little more of a queer eye when it came to things like picking out engagement ring. In fact, if you have a gay friend they are not a bad person to ask about what is “hot” in the world of fashion – period!
Not only do gay fellows have extremely good taste they have inbuilt radar that knows a “rip off” when they see one. Take one with you when you go shopping for a dollar. He will make sure that you will get every single carat’s worth for you dollar.
What is even better is if your girlfriend has a best gay boyfriend! He will more than likely to be able to pick out exactly the ring that your girlfriend has been lusting after all of this time.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking “if you’ve seen one diamond ring you’ve seen them all!” =
An engagement ring is more than just a beautiful piece of jeweler, it’s design and everything about it embodies the very essence of your feelings for her.
Keep in mind you can throw a lot of money at a rock, and she could still hate the ring. The ring has to be unique and the stones set in it also should express that “jet new says quoi” quality about your love for her. It should also be a quality and durable item because hopefully she will be flashing it on her fourth finger for the rest of her life.
Do you really want her flashing a cubic zirconia as a beacon of your love for the rest of your lives. Perhaps something a little more traditional fits the bill.
A word to the wise – don’t be cheap and don’t be tacky!
I can tell you right now what kinds of rings to stay away from.
Stay away from any style of ring has the names Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears or Princess Diana attached to them. Millions of people sport these huge rocks as costume jeweler all over the world.
Any diamond with a celebrity’s name on it is probably a fake. You might think it is glamorous. She will think you are tackier than hell.
Also stay away from the words “cubic zirconium” unless you are fond of the words “you cheap bastard.” Those cubic zirconium look good at first but they are as about as plastic as fake breasts!
