When you’re ready to propose, you’re confident about who you want to spend the rest of your life with, but you might not know how to go about choosing the perfect ring for her. You want a ring that’s special and meaningful that reflects who she is and your forever bond.

We’re here to guide you every step of the way to help you create the ring of her dreams. First, find the right engagement ring setting, metal, and accents, and then select a dazzling center stone from our curated collection of loose diamonds.

What style does she like?

Maybe you’ve already talked about rings and she’s shown you a Pinterest board of her favorites, but if you’re planning on a surprise, think about her personal style. Does she prefer minimal and modern or vintage and intricate designs (in her jewelry, her clothing, her interior decor)?

If she prefers clean lines, she may prefer a modern setting or a solitaire.

If she gravitates towards antique and detailed styling, consider a setting in a vintage style or with filigree or milgrain detail.

If she prefers an eclectic mix, how about a ring setting with hidden accents like a hidden halo or milgrain accent? These intricate details elevate a classic look with a touch of extra sparkle.

What metal does she wear?

Is her jewelry primarily white gold or platinum? Or does she mostly wear yellow gold or rose gold? Maybe she loves it all! (How about a two tone ring?)

What’s the perfect center diamond?

Once you choose the setting and the metal, you can examine the beautiful loose diamonds we’ve curated. You can look at your diamond selections in our diamond viewing room under a microscope to find that perfect diamond for your ring setting. Every diamond is unique! Some of the choices we can help you walk through include:

Diamond shape
the “4Cs” (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight)
lab-grown or natural

Stop by your local Robbins Brothers and start designing the engagement ring that she’ll wear forever!
