Lesson 6 Key Conversation Selecting a Ring

Sales Clerk: Can I help you find something special today?

Mattie: Yes, we're looking for diamond engagement rings, just starting out and getting ideas.

Sales Clerk: Well, we have many styles to choose from. Have you decided on a particular metal yet?

Mattie: I definitely want something in white gold but am open as to the setting – and I want to get it engraved.

Sales Clerk: What kind of cut are you looking for?

Mattie: I've always had my heart set on a princess cut diamond.

Sales Clerk: Take a look at these. We have solitaires and rings with multiple stones.

Mattie: I think I'd like to get a wedding set that will match whatever band we get for my fiancée. I'm a size 6.

Sales Clerk: Why don't you try this one on?

Mattie: It's just gorgeous! Can I see this one here as well? It's such a hard decision!
