Most men are completely out of their depth when it comes to choosing rings. They know a few things. They know that engagement rings are smaller than wedding rings and they know that most bands are made of gold and the stone of choice and tradition is usually a diamond. Beyond that, though, they are clueless.

Today, many couples go and choose their wedding rings together. This takes a lot of pressure off men. Nonetheless, if you go the the jewelry store and can sound like you know what you’re talking about, your future spouse will love you even more for it. All you need to know are a few key things.

Solitaire engagement rings are easy to spot when you go into the store and their name is easy to remember. These are the ones that feature just one large diamond that sticks out from the band and looks like it could do a lot of damage if a woman was angry. To remember the name, just think of the game of solitaire. Point one out to her and drop the name and she’ll be very impressed.

Another one that’s pretty easy to remember is the eternity ring. These rings are completely surrounded by a string of diamonds. Because the circle is complete, they symbolize eternity.

Because these rings have so many diamonds, they can also represent eternal debt, so you might want to divert her attention to another one called a trilogy ring. These rings have three diamonds in a row, representing the past, the present and the future.

All women want to feel like princesses, so if you’re out shopping on your own and want to be sure she’ll love your choice of ring, take a look at some princess cut engagement rings. They’re easy to spot. They are cut square. These rings are very elegant looking and it’s almost a sure thing that if you buy her one, she will love it forever and by extension, you. If you’re looking for a ‘yes’ answer, get her one of these.

If you want to really dazzle her with your expertise, you will have to learn some diamond terminology. You’ll need to read up on things like the cut, the color, the depth and the clarity of diamonds and how they are graded. Don’t worry too much, though. If you just utter the words, the sales staff will take over for you and make you look good.

If you memorize these few things, you should be alright. She doesn’t really expect you to know anything and will be flattered and impressed that you have taken the time to learn. Even if you mess it up, she’ll appreciate it that you cared for her enough to try.
