Tips for Men When Buying Engagement Ring for Her
You are taking your relationship to the next level- congratulations! Things may become overwhelming and it is very understandable. Purchasing an engagement ring for your loved one is a crucial investment you can make before you get into your marriage. So, ensure that you have all the bases covered.
Chances are that the love of your life has been dreaming about this piece of jewelry for as long as she can remember. So, whether you are planning on the engagement ring as a surprise or you are buying it together, this guide will help you get what works for both of you.
Look for an engraved ring
A personal touch to any gift will significantly enhance the emotional value of the gift. A lot of people prefer to engrave their promise on the ring. A simple ‘I love you’ works well. Always remember, the more you personalize the ring, the better.
Customize the ring
Choosing an engagement ring from Moissanite is considered a lifetime commitment, and you can ensure that it stays special throughout. You may be confused because you like the design of a particular ring but you want a different gemstone or the current metal does not fit well with the gem and you want to change it. With customization, you will be able to choose any design that you like and replace it with any gemstone, or metal or even add an engraving to it.
Decide on the stone
Gone are the days when a diamond was considered to be the only choice for an engagement ring. Today, a lot of people prefer choosing colored gemstones like emerald, sapphire, or ruby. A particular color may have a significant emotional value to your loved one. In this case, you will have to go for her favorite color because the end game is that you make it extra special for both of you.
Look out for her ring size
Imagine getting everything right, and the time has come, you are on your knees with the ring in your hand. You ask your big question, and she responds and as soon as you try to put the ring on her hand, it does not go through. This can be a bit of a damper. Ring size is always an important point to consider as no one wants to get it wrong. You can try getting the ring size without her knowing.
Understand her preference
This is also another very crucial point to consider. Since everyone has their unique design options, and with so many shops out there, you may get confused about where to start and what to pay attention to. This is the point where you have to seek her help, not necessarily direct, but by noting down her jewelry preference. Pay attention to the kind of jewelry that she wears, is it modern or vintage? Her choice of fashion should also give you a hint.
Conclusion
Give yourself a couple of days to think about the kind of engagement ring that will suit your woman. Then after making your choice, the above tips will help you come up with a good gem from Moissanite that she will treasure for a long time.

The federal government has declared Friday, April 3, and Monday, April 6, 2026, as public holidays to mark this year’s Easter celebration.
April 3 is Good Friday, while April 6 is Easter Monday.
The Minister of Interior, Mr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement on Wednesday, congratulated Christians in Nigeria and the diaspora on the occasion.
Mr Tunji-Ojo urged Nigerians to reflect on the virtues associated with the season, saying, “I congratulate all Christians in Nigeria and in the diaspora on the joyous occasion of Easter. I urge Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of selflessness, forgiveness, forbearance and love as exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.”

The Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, has denied rumours of his resignation circulating on social media following the expiration of a March 31 deadline.
According to reports by Channels Television, Mr Adelabu noted that the letter in circulation was fake as he had written such a letter.
However, he affirmed his interest in running for the Oyo State governorship race in 2027, adding that he would act at the appropriate time.
Mr Adelabu, reacting to the need for clarity about the said letter and his ambition on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said, “Of course, yes, I am very much in the race.
“But I will act at the appropriate time, and you will be duly informed, but will be with the consent of Mr President.
“For now, I’m committed to my present assignment. It’s still about service, whether national or sub-national,” he told the broadcaster.
President Bola Tinubu had directed all political appointees in his administration who intend to contest elective positions in the 2027 elections to resign from their posts on or before March 31.
He hinged his decision on Section 88(1) of the Electoral Act 2026 and the timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for party primaries ahead of the 2027 polls.
Only three of President Tinubu’s cabinet members stepped away from office to pursue their ambition. First among these was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Yusuf Tuggar, he prepares to seek the APC ticket to be the next governor of Bauchi State.
Mr Tuggar, who confirmed his resignation later on Monday, said his resignation letter was formally submitted to the president earlier that day through the Office of the Secretary of Government in Abuja.
Also, the Minister of Transportation, Said Ahmed Alkali, resigned to pursue his ambition of contesting the 2027 governorship election in Gombe State.
“The President has accepted the resignation and thanked the minister for his dedicated service to the nation,” his media aide said in the statement on Tuesday.
Similarly, the Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Mr Yusuf Sununu, also resigned to contest a senatorial seat in Kebbi State.
Mr Sununu, who assumed office in the humanitarian ministry in November 2024 after serving as Minister of State for Education, said his deployment was aimed at restoring the ministry’s image before deciding to pursue legislative office.
Also, the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), Mr Nasiru Gawuna, resigned from his position and defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has called for enhanced stakeholder coordination to rapidly expand electricity meter installations and narrow Nigeria’s persistent metering gap.
This push emerged from the NESI Metering Stakeholders’ Meeting held in Lagos on March 27, 2026, where regulators, industry players, and international partners converged to tackle rollout bottlenecks.
According to a post on NERC’s X handle, key attendees included representatives from the World Bank, Meristem, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), NEMSA, Distribution Companies (DisCos), and Meter Asset Providers (MAPs).
NERC highlighted a strategic pivot from merely financing metering initiatives to fostering seamless collaboration.
With four separate metering programmes currently underway, the commission stressed the urgency of aligning efforts to avoid duplication and accelerate deployment.
“Greater synergy among DisCos, meter providers, and other stakeholders is essential to ramp up installations,” a NERC spokesperson noted. This coordinated approach aims to deliver accurate billing, eradicate estimated charges that frustrate consumers, and boost overall market efficiency.
The meeting also underscored the need for a unified communication strategy to heighten public awareness and encourage consumer uptake, as part of NERC’s broader drive for transparency in Nigeria’s electricity sector.
Nigeria currently operates four parallel metering programmes aimed at closing the country’s metering gap and improving efficiency across the power sector. These include the World Bank–funded Nigeria Distribution Sector Recovery Programme (DISREP), which targets about 3.2 million end-user meters, and the Federation-funded initiative designed to deliver roughly 3.8 million meters alongside about 130,000 distribution transformer (DT) meters.
Also in operation are the DisCo-funded Meter Acquisition Fund (MAF), which provides around 125,000 meters to fill coverage gaps, and the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), a technology-driven framework focused on smart metering, improved billing accuracy, and enhanced grid management. The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) is now working to harmonise these initiatives to prevent duplication and accelerate metering deployment nationwide.
