Share your engagement-ring shopping tips and wisdom for a story to help other couples

We’re researching a story on how to shop for engagement rings and we want to learn from your experiences.

Engagement rings are incredibly personal, unique to each person and a representation of a couple’s love. We hope to hear from everyone from newly engaged couples to those celebrating 50 years of marriage.

We’re interested in your experiences with budget setting, shopping time frame and who picks the ring. Plus any advice you have for couples just embarking on the engagement-ring journey.

If you live in metro Phoenix and would like to participate in this story, please email me at meredith.white@arizonarepublic.com with the subject line “engagement ring story.”
