A few words of advice from Ryan Krasner, Third Generation Jeweler - There are a couple of trends I have noticed with shoppers as of recent, and in particular, customers shopping for engagement rings. Something you may not immediately consider as an obvious thing to do, but is quite common these days, is coming in to shop as a couple. You may feel nervous about the idea of it or think it will be awkward, but I am here to tell you that you shouldn’t. Why not? Because it is the most informative process in terms of figuring out what your partner likes and it gives you the advantage of learning all of the intricacies and information regarding fine jewelry in terms of trends, manufacturing techniques, stone setting techniques, and other current information. There is so much more you can learn when meeting a professional in store. Of course, the ultimate goal of coming in to shop together is really figuring out what your partner wants in an engagement ring without having to sneak around P
