If you’ve made it this far, you should strive to make the moment even magical for you and your significant other by getting that perfect engagement ring. If you have no idea where to start, then don’t fret because we got your back. Here are tips to help you choose the perfect engagement ring.

Get to Know Your Partner’s Style
Some people love diamond; others are ruby and sapphire die-hards. Some will choose emeralds at any time, while others prefer pearls. But that's not the end of it. The setting also matters. Some people love a bezel setting, while for others, the moment won’t be complete until they get the famous Tiffany setting ring.
The key to getting it right is ring shopping with your love. But if you are planning on making that moment extra special for your love when they least expect, first know their jewelry preference.
One way to do so is by going through her/his ring selection. If they rarely wear any, then get their best friends into the scheme. For instance, ask the best friend to find out what kind of ring they would like if they were to get engaged.

Know the Ring Size
Getting her/him a diamond cut ring is great until you try to put it on, and it can't fit, or it ends up being big. Therefore, know the right ring size. If you plan on making this a surprise, then borrow one of their rings and have it measured out by the jeweler. But if your partner doesn’t do rings, come up with other ways to find out the ring size.

Consider the Lifestyle
Knowing your girlfriends or boyfriend’s ring preference and size is a step in the right direction, but it's not enough. You also need to consider their lifestyle. That ring you settle for might be the perfect one, but will it be as comfortable as it is on the engagement day when she/he is at work? In other words, get a ring that will remain as beautiful and as comfortable as possible even when they go about regular day-to-day activities.

Go the Extra Mile and Personalize the Whole Experience
So far, you are on the right track, but as you know, other than the wedding day, a marriage proposal is considered one of the most special days in any person's life. Therefore, you are allowed to be as extra as you want to add glamor to it. One way to do so is by getting a personalized gift so that your love can be looking at it and remembering that day you went on one knee.
One easy way to do so is by getting them an SG wedding favor mug, or if she/he is into makeup, get them a compact mirror they can take with them on the go. There is no doubt every time they look at it, they'll remember that magical moment!
