Reasons To Try Engagement Rings Before Buying

Everyone has dreamed of seeing their partner's face as the custom engagement ring slides on their finger. A smile on their face and perfection on their hand. But what if the ring isn't perfect. That is a completely normal concern to have. After all, an engagement ring isn't like an article of clothing that can just sit in our closet. It's a lifelong and expensive commitment that everyone will see. That's why it is important to understand what you and your partner want when looking for a ring in Canada or anywhere else in the world.

Although shopping for engagement rings with your pattern may seem absurd, many couples have begun to go ‘engagement shopping’ together. This not only creates a fun and exciting date out but also guarantees everyone will be happy with the final product. Trying on engagement rings and shopping for them as a couple allows for both of you to learn what options are available, explore different styles and stones, and, most importantly, see how the actual ring looks on your loved one's hand.

What to Check During an Engagement Ring Fitting

An Infinite Selection

We've all been there, standing at a glass display case or browsing through pages of a website, only to keep thinking “maybe they’ll like this… or this one…no… This one!”. When shopping for rings in Canada or any engagement ring for that matter, the options are endless. That is why seeing and trying on the ring with your partner can be very helpful. Together, you can learn about new settings, different stones, the variety of metals, and the plethora of minute details and styles available.

Do you guys want to go for a more modern and trending pear cut or stick to a traditional round-cut classic?  Does your significant other prefer white or yellow gold, maybe even platinum! Engagement rings, especially custom engagement rings, have an infinite combination of details. By going out to see what works best for you both, you can learn not only about all the different options available but also which of these styles suits you and your partner best.

AGI design is always happy to help guide you through this process, so don't hesitate to reach out and ask!  And within this newfound knowledge, you can make an educated decision on what works for you best. This will also allow you to make the best financial decision together.

Each stone, design and metal comes with a varying price, and by working together and seeing what works best for both of you, a decision can be made together to make sure that everyone is happy for eternity without breaking the bank.  Here at AGI Design, we recommend our Canada custom engagement rings due to their eco-friendly sourcing, fiery sparkle and uniqueness, but together you can make any decision that best fits you as a couple.

Make the Moment Even More Special

For some, buying an engagement ring, especially a custom engagement ring, may seem like a long, mundane task that just needs to be checked off their to-do list so that they finally have something to present to their significant other. This nerve-racking and sometimes even frustrating process can be turned into a sweet everlasting memory, with the contribution of your significant other.

Once you've both established your price range and know what you are looking for, you can make this process a whole day out. After trying on a few rings and maybe even finding the perfect one, you can continue the romance by going to a fancy dinner and finishing off the day with an extravagant meal.

Going engagement shopping together and trying on the rings as an outing rather than a chore can create an even stronger and loving bond between you and your partner. With this, however, comes the concern of the ring no longer being a surprise.

Although your partner knows that you are getting them a Canadian ring, they don't need to know when or how you will present it to them. This truly takes the proposal from a transaction to an event that will be remembered forever. With both of you happy with the ring, that anxiety can be set aside and more energy can be put into finding the perfect time and place to make the big move.

The In-person Difference

Probably one of the most obvious yet important reasons to try on a ring is to see it in person on your partner's hand. Oftentimes an idea we have in our head might seem perfect but once we see it we realize that this may not be what we are looking for. And sometimes seeing it in person can truly convince you that this ring is the perfect ring for your partner.

A photo cannot capture the sparkle of a ring but coming to a showroom just to see it glimmer under the light can take your breath away. Seeing the stone and ring with your own eyes can finalize your decision on this lifelong commitment. With custom engagement rings, seeing the ring in person can create that final feeling of astonishment when all the pictures, work and messages finally come into fruition to create a beautiful piece.

The difference between just thinking about a ring or seeing it over a computer screen and having the engagement ring in your hands with the sparkly stone glimmering in your face is bound to make anyone's day.

Buying an engagement ring can be a stressful, frustrating, and anxiety-filled experience. But you don't have to be alone.
