<\/a><\/p>\nTry to pay cash<\/h3>\n
Try to avoid buying the ring on a credit card or payment plan. Your fianc\u00e9 should ideally have saved up for the ring prior to purchasing it. The main reason for this is that you will want to start saving for you big day once you are engaged and this will be more difficult to do if you are both still paying off the ring. Seeing the monthly payment on your ring going out each month is also a real romance killer.<\/p>\n
Learn to negotiate<\/h3>\n
Should your fianc\u00e9 be buying your ring alone, always encourage him to negotiate with the jeweller. Jewellery has a large mark-up and the store will be able to offer a discount as he will be spending a significant amount. If you\u2019re shopping together, your fianc\u00e9 should be discreet in letting the jeweller know his budget before you start looking at rings.\u00a0 Ensure the jeweller always thinks that you have less to spend than you actually do. By doing this they may well offer you ‘more expensive’ rings at a discount, thereby falling well within your actual price range. This tactic also allows you to increase a little when negotiating.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4511,"parent":0,"template":"","uk_article_category":[6789],"uk_article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-4510","uk-article","type-uk-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","uk_article_category-weddingjewellery"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article\/4510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/uk-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article\/4510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"uk_article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_article_category?post=4510"},{"taxonomy":"uk_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_article_tag?post=4510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
