How to Shop for an Engagement Ring as a Couple
More and more, couples today are shopping for engagement rings together. In fact, approximately 60–70% of our guests at Koser Jewelers start the process as a team.
If you’re thinking about shopping for an engagement ring together, here are a few ways to make it a fun, meaningful, and unforgettable experience.
1. Plan it as a surprise.
One way to make shopping together even more exciting is to plan it as a surprise. Even if she knows you’ll be shopping together, she doesn’t have to know when. A surprise visit to the jewelry store is a memorable way to kick off the process.

2. Relax!
We see couples all the time who put way too much pressure on themselves when it comes to engagement ring shopping. We always tell them the same thing — relax!
This process should feel joyful, not stressful. Take a deep breath, enjoy the experience, and don’t worry if nothing feels perfect right away. You’ll get there — and in the meantime, have fun together.
3. Try on lots of rings (but don’t overthink when you’ve found the one!)
Trying on different styles is one of the most important parts of the process. Even if you think you know exactly what you want, seeing it on your finger can change everything. Trying on a variety of rings helps you feel confident you’ve found your style.
Once you find a ring you absolutely love, try not to overthink it. It’s okay to look at more for reassurance — but sometimes, when you know, you just know.
4. Don’t be afraid to buy the ring together.
Many couples choose not only to shop together, but to purchase the ring together as well. If you’ve found the right one, why wait?
You both know a proposal is coming, but she still doesn’t have to know when, where, or how. Since most rings need to be sized or customized after purchase, the surprise can still very much be preserved.
Shopping together doesn’t mean you have to buy together — but don’t rule it out if it feels right for you both.
5. Make an occasion out of it!
Make engagement ring shopping a moment, not just a task. Go out to lunch or dinner afterward, grab a drink, or take a walk together to soak it all in. Whether you found the perfect ring or just started narrowing things down, you’ve taken a big step — and that’s worth celebrating.
