I DO! (and the don'ts) for your Diamond Engagement Ring

DSHF0819There are many, many things that need to be taken into consideration on the day that you ask or are asked for a hand in marriage.  The engagement ring, setting, weather, what will be said all play important factors in making that day a special one.  PriceScope, a leading diamond information website, has published 10 Do's and Don'ts to make your engagement day a special one.
  • DO insure the ring before it leaves the store. Even if something does happen to it, you’ll be covered and it won’t mean money down the drain.
  • DO keep the ring in the box and store it someplace safe in your home, like a fireproof lock box.
  • DO stay grounded. If you do happen to drop the engagement ring, you can more easily recover it on dry land than from the air or water.
  • DO let your jeweler hold onto the ring until you are ready to DSTE0553propose.
  • DO use the hotel’s front desk safe, never the in-room safe which can more easily get broken into.
  • DON'T put the engagement ring in checked luggage, which can become lost or stolen, including all contents within it. Instead, place the engagement ring in your carry on bag.
  • DON'T propose on the beach – engagement rings can too easily get lost in the sand.
  • DON'T propose anywhere you have unstable footing – boat, amusement park ride, parachuting, etc.
  • DON'T propose in overly crowded areas where the diamond engagement ring could get bumped out of your hand or snatched from a passerby.
  • DON'T put the engagement ring in food. It could become lost, or worse yet, choked on. Nothing says “I love you” like a trip to the ER.DSTQ0497

I don't believe they do. However, many associates will share these tips with you when you are in the store.  
 
 
 
It is a good idea to have something for customers like this in the stores though - Thank you!
