Your fiancé’s choice of engagement ring says a lot about his feelings for you and the relationship.
Here at YCB, we teamed up with David Law, Personal Jewellery who reveals 5 tell tale signs that your fiancé might not be the one for you.
1. Too Chunky – an engagement ring is supposed to be pretty, sparkly and dainty – the things he thinks about you. Think Cinderella and Prince Charming. Been given a chunky ring? You’ve got yourself a Shrek.
2. Small Gem Stone – an engagement ring is a promise for forever and the size of the gem should reflect that commitment. A small gem stone screams of frugality (and tightness) and doesn’t bode well for a happy, long-lasting life together.
3. Dull Gem Stone – engagement rings are made to be shown off – to friends, family, your social media followers (naturally) and even to strangers on public transport. A man who presents a dull gem stone probably isn’t as excited about the engagement as you are. You deserve better.
4. Ex-Girlfriends′ Birthstone – excited to be presented with your long-awaited engagement ring – complete with quirky, unusual gem stone – only to find out it’s his ex’s birthstone? He has his ex on his mind. To avoid a Ross / Emily / Rachel wedding situation – probably best to nip things in the bud before you go down the aisle.
5. Not To Your Taste – are you a big jewellery person and your love has presented you with a small, discreet, neutral ring? Or do you have a stock pile of golden jewellery pieces yet your new engagement ring is silver? If your ring doesn’t reflect your tastes you have to ask yourself – does this guy even know me?
