How exactly do you go about getting a woman an engagement ring?

Question

I am not with anyone... I am just curious like how you even go about doing this?

1. The most important question is whether you are going to "surprize" her with a ring or ask her to shop for one with you.

2. If she wants to select the ring, you just need to give her a budget and point her to the right source.

3. If you want to "surprize" her, you can ask her to describe what kind of ring she wants. There are plenty of catalogs online that she can peruse and show you what she wants.

4. Stay away from mall/franchise jewelry stores. They have the highest prices in the business. The less expensive options are A) independently-owned jewelry stores, B) "big box" jewelry/diamond stores, C) pawn shops, D) craigslist/FSBO sources.

5. If you are buying from an individual or a pawn shop, insist that you have the ring inspected by a professional jeweler before you give the seller any money.

6. If you are purchasing from a jewley store, insist on receiving a written appraisal of the ring before the purchase.

7. Have an idea of what your budget is and do not listen to any "rules" about how much you should spend. Yes, she is going to be showing this ring to anyone with eyeballs for the next month after she receives it, but going bankrupt at the beginning of a relationship is not a great way to start out!

8. Before you buy anywhere, educate yourself a bit about diamonds. You can find instructional videos online to explain carat, color, cut, and clarity.

After you agree to get married, you go shopping for rings together. That includes her engagement ring as main priority, and should also include her and his wedding rings. By convention, the guy buys her engagement and wedding rings, and the girl buys the guy's wedding ring.

It's good to get her engagement and wedding rings at the same time, from the same jeweler, since she'll be wearing them together after you get married. The guy's wedding ring should be of a style similar to her rings so that the typical crossed-hands wedding picture looks good.

When she’s away or not looking fine one of her rings so you can get the right size but usually women give you subtle hints on what she likes so but at the same time an engagement ring comes from the heart don’t feel like you have to spend an arm and a leg on it I’d say go cheaper for the engagement ring and spend more on the wedding band or take her into a jewelry store and see what she goes for what she looks at more

I think a visible ring that is on the cheaper side would work - not a ring expert but the main thing to me is it should be noticeable so guys know she is taken

That would depend on you and the type of woman you're buying the ring for, what kind of relationship you have, and if you want to surprise her with a proposal and a ring, or if it's something you've both been planning...
For some, they pick out the ring themselves, or with the help of a close friend or family member..
Others may choose to go ring shopping together..
It all boils down to how well you know the person you're proposing to..

My husband took his mom along for advice and support so that it would be a semi surprise. Of course I knew him too well, so nothing he did really surprised me at that point lol but the two of them picked out a really cute set.

Well it all depends… if you want it to be a surprise than typically you enlist the help of a friend or mother to help you find out what she likes and then go from there. Or you pick one out together, it just depends on how you want to do it.

You take about it, you then both go shopping for what she wants and you buy it.

Well first hit yourself in the face with a brick. Then if you still need a ring just repeat until you are satisfied. In this day and age why are men still getting married? Smh.
