3 Engagement Ring Questions You Might Forget...Or Not Want To Ask!

It's time to buy that engagement ring. You've researched and studied, know the 4 C's by heart, and are armed with a list of questions to ask as you head to the jewelry store hoping to find that perfect ring.

Here are a few questions, in our experience here at Mullen Bros. Jewelers, that we have found shoppers were afraid or embarrassed to ask.

What if she doesn't like the ring?

First of all, if you are going for the surprise proposal, you can possibly prevent this by asking friends or family about her taste in jewelry or begin studying what jewelry she wears to daily to get an idea of what she likes.

Let's face it though, you can do all the advice asking and sleuthing in the world and try to make the best decision you can and she still may not like it. It's o.k.!

While it may not feel great to you at the time, you do want your fiance to love her ring. Just make sure your jeweler has a good return and exchange policy so you can get her what she loves!

Is there a way to make a small stone look bigger?

We understand that you want to give her a show stopper and knock her socks off, yet you need to be mindful of your budget and not put yourself into a tough situation. Remember...bigger is not always better. Quality counts in diamonds!

With that being said though, if you are wanting to get lots of bling, there are ways you can do that. You could opt for a halo setting which are extremely popular or a diamond cluster look. These are great ways to get a more dramatic look without sacrificing your budget.

Is it o.k. to do something other than a "diamond" engagement ring?

Absolutely! Alternative engagement rings are a big trend right now and can really fit the bill for an outside-the-box girl. We do recommend that you try to ask discrete questions beforehand (if you're going for the surprise proposal) to see if this is something your girlfriend would like or has entertained the idea of something other than a diamond!

Don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask these questions or any other question that comes to your mind when shopping for an engagement ring. This is an important decision! And here are some rings that you might find to be the perfect one you are looking for!
