How to Buy a Promise Ring
Giving a person a promise ring can symbolize many different things. Some men give the woman they want to marry a promise ring and consider it a pre-engagement ring. A promise ring does not need to be a diamond, it can be a birthstone ring or any other type of ring that can be used to commit to a promise.
- Decide the style of the promise ring that you want to purchase. Look online to get ideas for the different settings and stones that you can use for the ring. If the person you want to give the promise ring to likes a certain type of ring, consider buying that style.
- Find a ring that the person already owns so you can determine the right size for the promise ring. Make sure that the ring you check goes on the correct finger. For example, if you want the promise ring to be a pre-engagement ring, look for a ring that the woman currently wears on her left ring finger to match the size.
- Go to a local jewelry store to price different promise rings. If money is an issue, let the jeweler know your price range so you will not waste time looking at rings that are too expensive. Ask the jeweler for some ring suggestions if you are not sure what style to buy.
- Make a note of the price of the promise ring and then do some comparison shopping to try and find a better deal. Try a different jewelry store, or search for online retailers. Look for special sales to help you save some money. Remember to include the shipping cost if you decide to buy the ring from an online store.
- Buy the promise ring from the store that has the style that you want for a good price. Save your receipt, in case the ring does not fit properly. You may also need to return the ring if the person does not like the style.
