Engagement ring prices are dependent on a number of factors.
Buying an engagement ring is a daunting prospect for most men who decide to go it alone.
It’s not just the price of the engagement ring but the fact that they are entering a world that they know little or nothing about. Added to the fact that they have been thinking of proposing for a while and have been told stories. They have glanced in the windows of various jewellery shops to check out styles. Then there is the matter of the price of the engagement ring. They might have a peek at the prices which can vary from the relatively expensive to the eye watering telephone numbers type of prices. Precious metals and precious gems do not come at give away prices and when proposing to a lady that you plan on spending your life with, there is the added pressure of:
- How will she feel about the ring, style, size etc.
- Have I spent enough on the purchase so as not to look like I’m cheap but not too much as to look too over the top…. in other words, is it practical and in fitting to her lifestyle and tastes?
Men shopping alone face the gamut of emotions and at Loyes Diamonds, we always try to assure men that unless they go for a ring
that is completely off the wall and contemporary to the extreme, the likelihood of a woman being disappointed is extremely rare. After all, it is the emotion of planning your lives and futures together as a couple and quite possibly as a family that take precedent over the actual ring. That said, any jeweller worth his/her sale should at the very least offer to exchange a ring if the lady is unsure about it and at Loyes Diamonds we offer a full money back guarantee should that need arise.
