Are you ready to propose to the love of your life? If so, it’s time to go shopping for a beautiful engagement ring. Searching for the perfect engagement ring can be an overwhelming process; however it doesn’t have to be. Here are three things that might help you find the perfect one:

You don’t have to stick to diamonds. While diamonds are considered a girl’s best friend, not everyone sticks to this rule for their engagement ring. Many engagement rings feature other, beautiful stones such as emeralds, sapphires and rubies. So if you can’t find a diamond ring that stands out, consider browsing other stones to find the one that fits.

Vintage and antique rings make great engagement rings. An engagement ring doesn’t have to be contemporary, or brand new. Antique rings and vintage rings are beautiful examples of used jewellery that your loved one will cherish. You can find high-quality antique or vintage rings at antique retailers.

The ring doesn’t have to be a surprise. Some women prefer to be a part of the shopping process. They have a ring in mind and would like the opportunity to find one that fits their personal taste and style. If the special person in your life has an opinion of what they want in a ring, consider taking them shopping with you. It can be a fun experience and one that will obviously bring you two closer together.
