So you\u2019ve made the decision to propose. First of all, congrats! This is a monumental life-changing decision symbolic of your everlasting love. Second, we know buying an engagement ring is no small purchase<\/a>. Even though “three month’s salary” is merely a rule of thumb (or marketing ploy)<\/a>, this is not an impulse buy. We know you’ve taken it seriously just by being on the Clean Origin Blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three things to consider after deciding to pop the question, but before digging into your ring search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Online > In-Store Buying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’re biased because Clean Origin’s<\/a> business operates entirely online, but there are logistics at play when you see better pricing on the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online retailers don’t have nearly the same overhead of stores. There are no buildings to rent and maintain. There are no additional salaries to pay aside from ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Clean Origin’s humble HQ, we don’t fork over expenses to keep the lights on, stores heated, or pay a salesperson who is incentivized to push you to spend more. All of that savings is passed along to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) You May Not Know Her Size, But Don’t Screw This One Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a big deal if you don’t know her exact ring size<\/a>. That shouldn’t stop your search before it begins. But the one thing you DON’T want to do under ANY circumstance is underestimate the size of her ring finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine after all the nerves, a few tears and a celebratory kiss that your new fianc\u00e9e tries on her new ring and it gets stuck. Or even worse, it never makes it around her finger because it’s TOO SMALL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a buzzkill. How is she going to take that Instagram photo and brag to all of her friends now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since you’ve just started the process, there’s time to get her ring size without being too obvious. Here are five ways to do just that.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) It Matters How Much You\u2019ll Spend. Just Not In The Way You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You want to make a major impression. But don’t put too much stock into how much you’ll actually spend<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent study from Emory University<\/a>, U.S. adults who have been married more than 13 years, and who spent between $2,000 and $4,000 on an engagement ring<\/a> were 1.3 times more likely to experience a marital split than someone who spent between $500 and $2,000 on a ring. Also, someone who spent less than $500 on an engagement ring experienced a significantly enhanced chance of getting divorced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women whose rings cost over $2,000 were three times more likely to complain about stress related to wedding debt. On the other hand, those who spent less than $1,000 on their rings were 82-93 percent less likely to be stressed out by wedding finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while you may be worried about popping the question, don’t forget that you’ve got a wedding to plan (and pay for) as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
