1. Choosing a Budget
This is possibly the most important step. We believe that you should not be dictated to about the amount you need to spend. Before selecting an engagement ring you should decide on a budget you feel comfortable with to ensure you find your ideal option. You probably would have heard that an engagement ring should cost 3 months of your salary, but that isn’t always the case. A budget for the perfect engagement ring depends on your significant other’s wants and your own personal circumstance. We can assist you in finding a diamond that balances size with quality at a price that works within your budget. No matter what budget we will make sure the ring is as special as ever, just leave it in our hands.
2. Choosing a Ring
The style and setting of the engagement is just as important as the stone that will be set on it. The ring should reflect her personal style: you may want to choose something that matches the jewellery she already wears.
It should also suit the shape of her fingers. As a general rule, smaller rings are more appropriate for younger people, while larger rings look best on mature hands. Rings with wide, horizontal stylings are well–suited to long, slender fingers, while shorter fingers call for more vertical designs. An elongated ring can also flatter more generously-proportioned hands.
We offer a wide range of ring settings, but we’ll help you narrow down the options by taking into account the style preferences, lifestyle, and personality of your partner. We can also make a bespoke ring for you if you haven’t seen what you want on our site. Ring styles can range from halo engagement rings to a solitaire ring, or even a custom engagement ring so it’s important that you have help in finding the perfect setting for your partner. Selecting an engagement ring style may be the hardest part of buying an engagement ring. As a bit of guidance think about the types of clothing and accessories your significant other gravitates towards—this should give you some clues as to whether they’d prefer a ring that’s classic, modern, nature-inspired, glamorous, or some combination of those. Most of the time you may have had a little hint of what she wants anyway, so if you two have discussed an engagement, there’s a good chance their preferences are saved to a Pinterest board.
3. Choosing the right Diamond
Diamonds are the classic choice for an engagement ring. Understanding about them is important. Learning about the 4 C’s, cut, colour, carat weight, and clarity can help you identify the diamond that is best for your budget and ring. To find the perfect diamond for you, we recommend selecting a diamond shape and then finding a balance between size and quality. Sometimes choosing a smaller diamond can get you a higher quality diamond, while opting for a diamond with some colour or a lower cut grade can allow you to get a larger carat weight within your budget. Lab Grown Diamonds are slightly more affordable than naturally mined diamonds of comparable shape and carat weight, so that is another great way to optimize your centre diamond within your budget.
4. The right metal
An engagement ring is traditionally made from gold, although it doesn’t necessarily need to be gold in colour:
White gold is just as popular for its understated, elegant appearance. Rose gold is also very attractive and lends the ring a unique look – or for an engagement ring that almost seems to glow from within, consider platinum.
Whatever Choice you make the ring will sparkle magnificently
5. Ring size
