Nowadays, it's by no means required for the man to have the engagement ring ready before popping the question. As with the wedding rings, it is now very typical for the pair to select the ring together after the proposal. Nevertheless, some ladies are traditional and will be upset if the ring isn't offered when he pops the question. You may want to pick out the ring on your own, but you're unsure of where to begin. In any event, we've compiled a list of the best advice for selecting the ideal diamond engagement ring for your future spouse.
There are so many options available when choosing a lovely proposal ring that you may become a little overwhelmed. With all the questions you don't know the answers to, you may also feel a little uncomfortable going into a high-end jeweller. When making an online purchase, you can take your time, browse through images of various ring styles, and select your favourite. To help you grasp the subject and learn more about what you're looking for, we also provide a wealth of information on diamonds themselves on our website.
However, you must first choose some fundamentals, like ring size, before delving into the specifics of individual diamonds. This can be challenging because it won't be quite the proper size even if you can steal another of her rings, unless she wears them on that finger. It's conceivable that even the right hand's ring finger will vary in size. Try to come as near as you can, but it's easy to have the ring resized later. In general, it's best to go a little too small with a high-quality ring and have it extended.
Another of the major decisions is to know which metal to go for. Our engagement rings are available in 18ct white or yellow gold and also in platinum. The easiest way to establish which metal to go for is to look at what other jewellery she wears. Even if she's a fan of costume jewellery, we're pretty sure she'll have some fine jewellery in her collection somewhere.
Getting down to the actual diamond itself, what you need to be aware of is the four Cs cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Of these, the cut is the most important, as this is what affects the brilliance (or sparkle) of the diamond, which is what most women look for. The sparkliest of all is the round brilliant cut diamond, but if you can't afford this, then princess cut diamond engagement rings are a popular alternative. Another way to reduce the price tag is by going less on the carat weight of the diamond. Our diamond rings are customisable, meaning you can choose the metal, size, and carat weight to get the perfect ring for your tastes and your wallet.
