According to the Census Bureau, for a day that uplifts love and romance, Valentine's Day, there are ironically fewer proposals on Valentine's Day than almost any other holiday. Perhaps there is too much expectation for a moment that is meant to arrive as a surprise. However, couples should give Valentine's Day a second chance this year. There are a few economical benefits of buying your engagement ring during February, and depending on the type of ring you buy and the way a person proposes, this proposal may be anything but the status quo.
White gold is one of the most affordable metal options, and preferred today over yellow gold in current fashion trend and for its resemblance to platinum. White gold engagement rings can feature other stones than just diamonds, and as modern fashion favors vintage trends, colored gems like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds will be displayed in fabulous options that will not only bring character to a ring, but will cost less than using solely diamonds. Another wonderful aspect regarding good deals during the month of February was approached by a well-respected national jeweler. Based in Atlanta [company name not disclosed], this jeweler commented through a recent radio commercial that jewelry companies will typically reduce engagement ring prices up to 50% to increase sales during a month that typically sees reduced sales.
The months that typically see the most engagements according to the US Census Bureau will be November and December; Thanksgiving and Christmas respectfully. The reason being is that couples want to have family involved for such an important occasion, and to share every second of the actual proposal with family and loved ones. More families come together for Thanksgiving and Christmas than most other holidays. Valentine's, on the other hand, is not a holiday typically celebrated with families coming together. For a unique proposal idea, change the traditional and plan a family dinner on Valentine's Day to catch a future fiancée off guard. With that stunning white gold engagment ring, this proposal will far exceed expectation.
