So, your partner finally put a ring on it! Now what?

Well, it's only natural to show it off—especially on Instagram. (Even Lady Gaga thinks so!) But how does one show off their engagement ring, exactly? For starters, a manicured hand helps, but in the heat of the moment, we think the excitement and happiness should definitely overshadow that.

All you need is a (phone) camera and your hand, and you're good! So go ahead, take a cue from the ladies of Instagram and show the virtual world that sparkly rock.

And make sure to capture the light! (Oh, and you might want to make sure you're parked/in the car wash, also.)
