How to Surprise Her With a Diamond Ring She’ll Love!

Are you planning to surprise your girlfriend or life partner? What would be a better gift than a diamond ring? Women enjoy a surprise, but it can be difficult to choose a ring that your partner will want to wear. So, how do you choose an engagement ring without her knowing? It can be easier than you think. After all, there are hints all around you. So here's a handy guide to help you put it all together and sleuth your way to the ideal glitter.

Does she enjoy a surprise?

Before you plan a surprise for her, ask yourself:

Is she the kind of girl who would enjoy surprises? If it’s a NO, you might want to skip to the next section. However, if she is a hopeless romantic, she would most likely desire to be swept off her feet.

Does she organize most of your date nights and dinner parties? If she likes influencing events or parties, she may be interested in a new diamond ring. Separately, if she is truly into fashion, she may have strong ideas about what she will and will not wear.

Is she more realistic or passionate? Does she melt when you give her small presents or surprise her with an unexpected night out? If yes, she might like an old-fashioned, movie-style surprise proposal.

Find her Pinterest Diamond Ring Board

If you want the engagement ring to be a complete surprise and can't ask her what she wants, look up her Pinterest account. 70% of potential brides consider what they want before becoming engaged, and 50% make a Pinterest wedding board, so the chances are in your favor. Fair warning: many women make these boards private (not visible to the public) or even exclude friends unless they explicitly add them to the board.

Listen to the hints she will inevitably drop

Chances are, if she wants you to surprise her, she has been giving hints. So pay attention to everything jewelry-related she mentions: thoughts on a friend's engagement diamond ring, remarks on jewelry advertisements, and what she looks for in jewelry stores. She could even point out rings she loves and dislikes. When this happens, launch your notes app and start typing. Listen for signals about how and where she wants a proposal. The ring she desires and the places she considers romantic.

Pay attention to the jewelry she wears

Take a look at the jewelry she's now wearing, as well as the metal on her handbag and sandal buckles. Is there a common trend in metal colors? Women will often have strong feelings about yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold. Then consider scale: is her jewelry modest and delicate, or huge and bold? Is it quirky and homemade or sleek and symmetrical? Then pay attention to her own style and clothing choices. Does she like vintage looks, current fashions, or classics? Where does she shop? All of these inquiries can help you better understand her style, and if you're unsure, a jeweler should be able to assist you in converting it into a diamond ring.

Ask Her Friends

 If you know her closest friend or family member can keep a secret, now's the moment to enlist her help. Enlist one of her friends or family members, but only if you are confident they will keep the secret. About 30% of women provide indications to their inner circle about the type of ring they'd prefer, so her closest friend or sister may be waiting for you to permit them to pass along the information. If your girlfriend hasn't yet expressed her preferences, this trustworthy individual can bring it up in a natural way or, at the very least, give you their expert advice.

Consider her daily routines

She'll be wearing her engagement diamond ring every day, so consider what the metal and stones will go through. Does she work with her hands, or does she have to wash them and wear gloves all the time? Does she have any messy hobbies? Does she have children? Does she participate in extreme sports?

If she works from a desk and rarely uses her hands, a solitaire style on a delicate band may suffice. However, if she is not careful with her belongings and will be pounding her ring daily, a more low-profile and sturdy type is recommended. You also need to choose the ideal materials for her lifestyle. Diamonds are the toughest and most durable gemstones, followed by Moissanite, sapphires, and rubies. There are just a few other stones that can last a lifetime of use, so study up on the materials and styles to avoid.

Secretly determine her ring size

One of the most popular questions is, "How the hell do you figure out her diamond ring size?" Short of trying to measure her ring finger while she sleeps. Or, you may take a ring of hers to a jeweler. If you believe she will notice, set one of her rings flat on a piece of paper (so it resembles the letter "O"), trace the inner (circular) part of the ring, and bring it to the jewelry store. The ring you get will most likely not be for her left ring finger, but it will help you get near.

Are you ready for the surprise party?

Popping the question is an exciting occasion, and you should be quite happy about it. Narrowing down her design preferences, conducting some spying, or asking a friend is an excellent method to pick a diamond ring she'll adore.

True, no guide will be able to help you choose the right ring for your bride, but we hope we've helped you narrow down the options. Plus, if she doesn't fall in love with the ring, you have a worry-free guarantee. And don't forget that asking the big question is the true surprise, so enjoy the moment!
