Instead of heading to the nearest jewelry store and spending several months pay on a new engagement ring, why not present your fianc with an antique engagement ring? Many women prefer the personal touch of an antique engagement ring and you might even save some money.

If you are considering giving an antique engagement ring then you can begin your search for the perfect ring at an antique store or check the internet. If you are lucky enough to have a family heirloom to pass down then the antique engagement ring is that much more special.

She Won’t Say No

No bride to be could to refuse an antique engagement ring- especially if it fits her perfectly. Make sure that you take the time to get the ring sized exactly to her finger.

It is unlikely that the antique engagement ring will fit her unless you have it resized. If you don’t want to ask her ring size then you can surreptitiously borrow one of her rings and bring it to a jeweler. He will be able to size your antique ring accordingly and you can replace her ring without her ever knowing you borrowed it.

Once the ring is resized you will be set to ask her to marry you. Having an antique engagement ring already sized to her finger makes the moment that much more special. Nothing ruins the perfect proposal more than a ring that is too big or too small. Taking the time to plan an effective proposal is well worth it.
