You have been with your girlfriend for a long time, and have decided that now is the right time to propose. Your girlfriend likes trendy, vintage clothing, and loves art in general, so you have decided to not be so traditional with your choice of engagement ring. Thus, you would prefer to get your girlfriend a vintage engagement ring.

About Vintage Engagement Rings

The thing about figuring out whether or not your girlfriend would like a vintage engagement ring is first figuring out how traditional she is. If she is a “free spirit,” that is a pretty good indication that she would enjoy a vintage engagement ring.

However, it can be a funny thing when it comes to proposing, because many women prefer to get a new ring, even if they usually prefer vintage jewelry. So, you might think that your girlfriend will like a vintage engagement ring, but can you really be sure? Is there a way that you can make sure she will no be disappointed?

Well, first of all, you can ask her family (make sure they can keep a secret) what her dreams were as a child regarding her ideal proposal. It might sound odd, but women actually have an idea in their head of how they would like to be proposed to from childhood.

If her family is not really sure, there is another way that you can find out. Ask her friends (again, make sure they can keep a secret) what kind of ring she would prefer. Chances are that she told her friends at least once of ideal proposal.

So, you have asked both her family and friends, and you think that she really would enjoy a vintage engagement ring. So, the question is, where would you find the right one? First of all, when she is not looking, take one of her less important rings to a jeweler so the jeweler can tell you what ring size she is.

Now equipped with the knowledge of her ring size, check the phone book under the phrase “engagement rings.” At least a few of the stores that are advertising should make mention as to if they sell vintage engagement rings.

You can also search the internet, since various online directories will have vintage jewelry entries. Remember that when it comes to vintage engagement rings, you can choose more unique designs to make the proposal all the more unconventional. You are sure to find the right vintage engagement ring with the proper research.
