Melt Her Heart With Your Proposal And A Romantic Vintage Engagement Ring It's an old proverb, but nonetheless still true. 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach'. Just as a man might respond to a plate of homemade lasagna, most women prefer jewelry for their romantic epiphanies. So if you're a guy working up to a proposal moment, that engagement ring is an important part of the ritual. Vintage engagement rings can make that romantic moment live forever. Vintage clothing, shoes, hats and, yes, jewelry are the height of fashion awareness these days and held in high esteem by the ladies. The excellent news for you is that, while a new, diamond encrusted engagement ring might set you back some many hundreds of dollars, it doesn't have that old, nostalgic appeal of the vintage engagement rings, available at a far smaller price. You, as a man, may not have a clue as to the appeal that vintage engagement rings hold in your beloved's mind and heart. Men are romantic, too, but in ways and manifestations unlike women. Think homemade lasagna. So what's the reasoning? It doesn't make sense to most men that a woman would rather have an old piece of jewelry, rather than a new piece. Remember that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. They have different mindsets on much of life and this is just one example. Here's how women think on this matter. When you propose and present her with a vintage engagement ring, she immediately thinks of how you scoured the earth to find this perfect ring. You didn't just walk into a jewelry shop or department store, choose something and pull out your credit card. You had to go to considerable effort to find this one-of-a-kind ring, a platinum wonder worked in an ornate band design, with emeralds, her birth stone, sparkling across the face. She envisions a proud lady of the 1930s, wearing this very ring, signifying her love for her beloved, which, incidentally, doubtless lasted a lifetime. The fantasy doesn't stop there. As she throws her arms around you, saying, “Yes! Yes!”, she's probably envisioning that lady's wedding day, imagining a delicate white dress, dripping with lace and a beaded bodice, walking down the aisle to eternal bliss. This fantasy can go on and on in the mind of your woman, boding nothing but good for you! All because you took the trouble to search for something out of Camelot, or at least a not too recent beautiful era. The vintage engagement rings have a power you may not understand. You might think all of this silly. Be glad of your new-found knowledge and let this lesson in woman think be a lesson that lasts your lifetime! Summary Some women are very old fashioned. The idea of an antique vintage engagement ring is very romatic and carries a sense of traditionalism with it not found in new jewelry. They also feel very special and appreciative of the fact that men took the time to find the perfect ring for this momumental event. Related Articles Buying Silver Rings Estate Rings Related Sites
