Ep 23: How To Calm Down When You're Shopping For Your Wedding Ring
If you're like most guys, you haven't spent much time thinking about what kind of wedding ring you'd like, and honestly, until you have a need for one, you don't really care. Most guys don't wear a lot of jewelry, if any, so when it's time to shop for your wedding ring, what are you supposed to do? (Besides, start thinking about it.)
However, having a wedding ring is important, yes...even for guys. Is it life or death important? No. But neither is that watch you've been eyeing up, or that bike, sailboat or the hunting dog you just "have to have" because she's perfect.
While a guy's wedding ring can seem like an afterthought, I want you to know, she doesn't feel that way, and over time you won't either.
This is new to most of you, and it sounds simple, and it is, but it feels weird, and you're definitely not on your game when you're doing something as foreign as picking out a ring for yourself.
Here's what you do: Surrender, then Start.
Surrender to the fact that you don't know much about this (yet), but you will learn as you go. Especially when you go to a trusted independent jewelry store. (The people there will teach you a ton.)
And here's how you start. You just scan the rings in the case, give 'em the old up and down, and as you go along, look at the different styles. As you do this, ask to try on the one's that grab your attention. It's that simple.
Here are a few questions to keep in mind as you're trying on rings:
-What kind of metal is it? (Or, "What is this made from?")
-How much does it cost?
-Can I wear it to work?
-Can it be resized?
And where are you going to get those answers? From your friendly sales associate at an independent jewelry store. It's the easiest way to go about it.
