Picture this...
You're out shopping for a Diamond Engagement Ring. You fall in love with a style that many Jewelers carry. It's everything you ever dreamed of. You find the cheapest price and buy it! You're very thrilled until... Your Girlfriend ends up getting that same exact Diamond Ring! Not good!
Sounds crazy? Well believe me, it's not. It happens all the time.
The main reason why this happens is that most Jewelers carry all the same styles of rings. Especially if it's a popular ring like the 3-Diamond Engagement Ring (For your Past, Present and Future - See Picture). Every Jeweler had them (and still does). Every person bought them (and still does). There are Women all across the country who have that same identical ring.
So I ask you... Is this really your "Dream Ring"?
Do you really want the same ring that everyone else has? I'm sure you'd say no. But look around. Most of the styles and designs that you see in Jewelers Sales Ads and Magazines all have those same popular rings in them. Every Jeweler, Every City, Every State! Duplicates!
Do a test... Go to the Shopping Mall. Look at one Jeweler's selection of Engagement Rings. Then check out the competing Jeweler's selections. See all the Duplicates and Knock-offs? There are tons of them.
You may fall in love with a ring, but so will 20,000 other Women!!! Not very unique is it?
Granted I don't have any real issues with this, a sale is a sale. And if you love it and are happy with it, that's all that really matters. Just as long as you know that the chances are very good that you'll run into another Woman wearing YOUR exact ring!
Some say "Who Cares?" But others will frown and be disappointed at this. Isn't it supposed to be special?
My point is, if you see a Style of Ring in all the local Jewelers, maybe it's time for something new? Look at Rings and Styles and Designs that aren't so popular. Maybe even Custom Design one?
After all, most Women want a ring that no one else has. I can't say that I blame them either. So do something different. Be unique. Put in a different shaped Diamond as the center stone, mix in some Colored Gemstones like Sapphire or Ruby, stir things up. Have fun with it. No one says you have to have a Cookie-Cutter Ring!
The ring to buy is the ring that is hard to find! Pass up the popular! Delve deeper. Jewelers have unique rings. You just have to find them.
You'll be much happier in the end. Plus, you'll never have to hear your best friend exclaim "Oh, Becky has a ring just like that!" Sigh!
Best advice: Think different and you'll never be seeing doubles!
