Finding Your Ring of Dreams: Tips from DomestiGal Jen

So living together is great and all, but let’s face it: you want to take the next step toward true, official nesthood. As do I. Do you daydream about dazzling diamonds? Do you get butterflies from imagining the weight of that ever-elusive ring on your finger, or tears in your eyes envisioning your man down on one knee? If you do, then it is with antsy pants and undying optimism that I welcome you to the wonderful world of engagement anticipation.

Fortunately, there are some concrete issues to cover in easy-to-read chart form while we wait around for that magical question to be popped.

Decision Numero Uno: Your Ring

Now onto further engagement ring obsessing.

Some of you may recall the advice I gave to DomestiGal Sue. The 4 F’s of engagement ring pondering I developed for her are surely applicable to us all. So read on…

So Sue. Since you are looking at fakies, you don’t need to worry your pretty little head about the 4 C’s (clarity, cut, color, and carat weight). Moissanite in particular is always basically gorgeous and sparkly, so you want to be sure to get a nice cut that you like and, obviously, a HUGE carat weight, but you don’t have to worry about the all the complicated stuff that, for example, The Lawyer will have to deal with when purchasing my Ring of Dreams.

But, but! You are not out of the woods yet! Behold, the 4 F’s! Created by moi just for you (and all of our fab readers, of course).

F #1: Fake
Put down that salad and chew on this, my darling: Are you sure you want a fake diamond? Positive? You won’t regret this years from now as you gaze down at your moissanite stunner? No? Good. Let’s move on.

F #2: Fit
As thin and gorge as you are now, Sue, we will all put on a few pounds, or at least some puffiness, over the years. Especially when you get knocked up with your JewAsian spawn. Or indulge in one of your “Fat Fridays” and drink a few margaritas. So just make sure the ring is comfy with just a wee bit of room for growth.

F #3: Flair
Sue, think of your studded cowboy boots. This ring needs to reflect you. Make sure the ring has personality worthy of its fabulous owner! Which leads me to…

F #4: Fabulousness
I mean. Obv.

So there you have it, ladies! Food for thought for your ring quests. Obviously you must keep us posted as this process continues…
