Q : I am about to propose. I want it to be a surprise. How do I make sure she’s going to like the ring I pick? 

Your greatest ally in this process is the person helping you choose the ring, the sales person. When you meet with someone, prepare to tell them about your girlfriend in detail.

What does she looks like? How does she dress? What is she passionate about? What kind of work does she do? What activities does she like to do in her spare time? How did you meet? Do you have private jokes or nicknames? Favorite people, places or things?

The more you can tell the sales person about your intended and your relationship, the better. This will help them build a picture of the person that can help them recommend certain styles, metals, finishes and gems. Of course, some old-fashioned sleuthing can also help.

Is she on social media? Many women create Pinterest boards of engagement rings or tag and like rings on Instagram and Facebook. All these are precious hints you should look for. If you’re willing to let someone in on your plans, asking a sister or friend is another idea.

Finally, my advice would be to reference your relationship. Do you have a favorite place, thing or some other memory that is special to you? That could be the basis for choosing a meaningful design or creating a custom ring. For example, perhaps you took an amazing trip to Paris, so you could look for a ring that nods to the Eiffel Tower.
