Why not!

Lady Diana demonstrated it already years ago when she chose her own ring instead of having Prince Charles get her a "surprise" one.

After all, that ring is usually the piece of jewelry she will wear every day, for the rest of her life. It is therefore of the uttermost importance that she really loves her engagement ring and not only the symbol it bears.

If a woman wants to get engaged and that her partner has not even proposed yet, she can also take the matter into her own hands:

• She can search for her perfect engagement ring and send her partner a hint
• She can propose to him!
  

Going engagement ring shopping together doesn't have to be unromantic at all! Quite the contrary, there are many advantages to it.

• It can be very fun to choose the ring together
• The bride-to-be can select her favorite design
• The partner paying for the ring is sure that her partner really loves her ring
• Both partners can decide on the right budget for the ring
• The engagement ring can be chosen at the same time as the wedding band, to make sure they both perfectly fit

Surprising your loved one with an engagement ring requires, of course, having purchased it beforehand. Selecting the ring, though, can be harder than expected. Even if you know your partner very well, it can be a daunting task to find out the ring she would pick out for herself!

47% of women recognize not being in love with the engagement ring their partner chose. Of course, all of them proudly wear their engagement ring and are in love with its symbolic meaning, but they admit that they would have gotten a different design.

In a physical store, exchanging the ring is usually impossible. Online stores do, however, tend to offer such guarantee.

NOTE: At My Diamond Ring, you can exchange your engagement ring for another one or even return the ring and benefit from our 100% money-back guarantee.
