What should my budget be?

There is no right or wrong amount to spend on an engagement ring. Of course, it’s nice to have the best quality ring possible, but it’s also important to be realistic about the amount you can afford to spend. You can get tasteful rings in a variety of price ranges, so set yourself a limit and start looking with your own personal budget in mind.

How do I find her ring size?

One of the best ways to find a woman’s ring size is to borrow one of her existing rings, and either take it to the jewellers with you or trace an outline of it. You could also ask her friends, mother or sisters, as they may have shared jewellery with her and be able to give you an approximate size.

What should I look for?

The most important aspects to consider are the 4C’s – cut (the shape of the stone) colour (its hue), clarity (the number of imperfections), and carat (how much it weighs). All of these aspects will affect the visual beauty of the ring, so ask about each element and make sure you get the best quality possible for your money.

Princess diamonds are second in popularity and offer the brightness of a brilliant round diamond at a reduced price. They have an angular, modern elegance that looks stunning in traditional and geometric settings. For settings with a vintage feel, cushion diamonds are a great option.
