While browsing on print Pinterest or thumbing through
bridal magazines may offer some oh-so sparkly inspira-
tion, there are a few simple questions you'll want to ask
yourself before you ask the big question.
What is her day-to-day style like?
A quick peek into her wardrobe can reveal so much
about a woman's style — and even simple details like
what colors she's drawn to or whether she prefers
organic shapes to straight lines can be a wealth of
information in the hands of a skilled jeweler.
What are her interests or hobbies?
One of the most important considerations when choos-
ing a ring is what she loves (besides you!) From adven-
turous partners who'll want a secure setting to protect
their stone to spiritual partners who want an extra dash
of symbolism in their ceremony, let her interests, hob-
bies, and lifestyle be your guide!
What causes is she passionate about?
While fair-mined gold and conflict-free diamonds have
become popular considerations, shopping your values
doesn't end there. Black-owned businesses, female-led
companies, and jewelers who give generously to organi-
zations you both care about are all wonderful opportu-
nities to bring a touch of what she's passionate about
into your proposal.
