1. Do not know the preferences of your partner
Wrong: One of the biggest pitfalls when choosing an engagement ring is not well knowing the preferences of your partner. You might think that you have chosen the perfect ring, but if it does not match the style and taste of your partner, that can be a disappointment.
Solution: Take the time to observe what your partner likes. View the jewelry she already wears and listen to subtle hints she may have given. Do you have no idea? Ask a girlfriend or family member to help you. You can also deduce her preferences from conversations about jewelry or even her Pinterest board.
