Find Out Their Ring Size

Now is the time to get creative! You’re making huge progress by finding out the ring style your significant other likes. Another big step in the engagement ring shopping experience is finding out their ring size. Of course, you might not want to be obvious and flat out ask their ring size, so you might have to sneak around to keep it a surprise. There are a number of ways you can do this from home. You can trace the inside of a ring they already have, order a ring sizer, and even do some investigative work while they are sleeping. Read all about the possibilities here.

Put a Budget Together

An engagement ring could possibly be your first big purchase. During this downtime, take the time to run some numbers to see exactly what you can afford. Our diamond calculator helps you to get an idea of the cost of the type of ring you want to purchase. When you are ready to make the purchase, having your budget in mind will help to find exactly what you are looking for without compromising quality. Also, keep in mind that Long’s Jewelers offers financing!

Do Your Research

It’s always a good idea to do your research before any big purchase. If you were planning on purchasing a car, you would probably spend hours on Google trying to find any information before going to the dealership. It is exactly the same with diamonds! You should definitely do your homework and read up on diamonds before you make your purchase. There is a lot of information out there, but we want to make sure that you are getting the facts. Our expert diamond specialists have been putting information together about this topic for years. Settle in, get comfortable and visit our diamond blog and our engagement blog for beginners to educate yourself!
