Know the rules so you can stay in the game
What are the four things any one needs to do to get their BEST start before buying the perfect diamond?
Budget
Figure out what you’ve got to spend and stick to it. One month’s salary is a good guideline.
Expectations
Listen to her. Try to understand her expectations (her needs and wants) so you’ll have a feel for what to pick out.
Savvy
Become savvy! Know what any given diamond should cost and what are the best qualities to wear. Knowledge is power. You’ll never win the race without training.
Timetable
Figure out when you want to give it to her and don’t rush. Haste makes waste. Give yourself enough time to study up and plan the perfect proposal.
