Buying an engagement ring

I want to propose to Elain

A thought process that I went through 3 months ago.

Currently, we’re happily engaged and preparing for our wedding.

After buying her the engagement ring and actually proposing, some men approached me how I went on buying that ring for her. Questions rose:

“Where did you buy it?”, “Magkano yung ring?”, “Pano mo malalaman kung okay yung ring?”, “What are the factors of its cost?”, “What are things I should know about when buying a ring?”

Fortunately I was prepared to give short answers to these questions, since I took a crash course on rings by researching them all up on the net and talking to random jewelers in bridal fairs.

You see it’s really important that we know what we’re going to buy for the one we love, it’s important to note that we are prepared to face a jeweler and we know our stuff. The responsibility of being prepared with any major purchase is essential for any man. Think about it, if you buy a car, you study everything about cars and other options before you even get the car. The same goes for buying a house.

Buying a ring has that same level of importance as any other major purchase.

So I put together this simple guide. It’s pretty short, and it won’t take you more than 3 minutes to take it all in.

Have fun reading!
