Shopping Together, Pros:
The Ring is Exactly What You Want. You are going to be wearing this ring for a very long time, so it’s important that you love it. Trust me when I say there are countless different ring styles to choose from and oftentimes, you will be surprised that the rings you thought you liked when looking online are not what you love in person.

By coming into Richardson Gold and Silver together to choose the diamond engagement ring, you will make the shopping experience less stressful knowing the ring selected is something you both love. Shopping together can alleviate a sizable amount of pressure in choosing the “perfect” ring.
Making a Big Decision Together can be an intimate experience. An engagement ring is one of the biggest purchases a new couple will make. Since marriage is all about making compromises and joint decisions, choosing an engagement ring together is the perfect opportunity to begin to understand the cooperation necessary for future decision-making. Choosing and designing an engagement ring together can create an emotional bond and bring you closer as a couple.
Shopping Together, Cons:
The Proposal Will Not Be A Surprise. An element of surprise adds an extra degree of romance and can create a nostalgic experience that you will remember forever. By selecting your own ring, you already know exactly what the ring looks like and additionally have an idea that the proposal is in the near future.
The Ring You Want is Not in the Budget. You finally pick out the ring of your dreams and unfortunately it is outside the ideal price point. This can become a potentially uneasy situation for both you and your partner and can also lead to disappointment on both ends. Richardson Gold and Silver strives to secure the right ring with the right price. Because we deal directly with diamond dealers we can secure the most exquisite diamond below retail cost.
You Know the Cost of the Ring. People dislike discussing money and finances. If you go ring shopping with your future fiancé, you will know how much was spent on your engagement ring, which might put you in an uncomfortable situation.
The Process May Seem Less Personal. As with most gift giving, part of the appeal is the amount of time, thought and effort that was put into it. Although the ring your future fiancé choses may not be the ring of your dreams, it may mean more to you because of the time that was spent searching for the perfect ring, specifically for you.
Do What Feels Right for both of You.
For most couples the engagement ring is very important. For others, the engagement ring is not a big deal. There is no right or wrong answer. Simply, it’s what feels right for both you and your significant other. What’s most important is that both of you are on the same page and are happy and comfortable with whatever you chose to do, as this ring will symbolize the beginning or your new life together.
