<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Esteemed Guests Enjoyed Bridgerton-Themed Costume Contest to Win a $7K Platinum Vintage Diamond Ring, Bouquet Making, a Live String Quartet, Photo Opps and Sparkling Diamonds</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Sunday, May 1, 2022, Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Experts, threw the party of the season according to Houston’s most influential. On that day, more than 50 guests adorned in their best Regency-era inspired outfits waltzed into the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/houston-clearlake" target="_blank">Robbins Brothers Houston Clearlake/Baybrook </a>location to enjoy a morning filled with all things Bridgerton-themed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Guests were greeted at the door by general manager Alex Garcia who bore a striking resemblance to The Duke of Hastings. As they entered, guests were taken through a full Bridgerton-inspired experience inside the 7,200 square-foot store, taking photos around the Queen’s throne, customizing their own wispy floral bouquets, enjoying Bridgerton-themed cocktails and breakfast bites, listening to pop music transformed by a local string quartet and more. Guests were invited to try on and play with jewelry, and Robbins Brothers store associates showed off vintage-style engagement rings reminiscent of the Regency-era, along with more modern styles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/TdgGRFxXB2CoxqCD7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VIEW EVENT PHOTOS</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We wanted to do something different, something special that would excite our most loyal guests and also bring attention to the Robbins Brothers brand for those who haven’t shopped with us yet,” said Kris Land, vice president of marketing at Robbins Brothers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alex Garcia, general manager of Robbins Brothers Houston Clearlake/Baybrook location said that he was blown away by the immediate excitement and response from guests and store associates alike about the event.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A Bridgerton-themed brunch proved to be an enticing theme, as we had to stop accepting RSVPs after just four days due to the overwhelming response,” said Garcia. “All of our store associates had a blast shopping for the perfect costumes and getting into character for the event. It was unlike any event we’ve had at our store before, and we can’t wait to do more.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since Bridgerton&#8217;s swoon-worthy second season premiered on March 25, 2022, the popular show racked up 444.8 million hours. Bridgerton&#8217;s first season remains Netflix&#8217;s No. 1 English-language TV show, with 625.5 million hours streamed in its first 28 days of release. Smithsonian Magazine recently reported that a big part of the Regency-era TV and streaming popularity is due to our romantic notions of courtship in that time period, and that old-fashioned romance is the most enduring. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the event, the latest news from Lady Whistledown was shared and five lucky guests randomly won prizes like <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0435768-14kt-yellow-gold-earrings-1-6-cttw1298620514" target="_blank">14K yellow gold diamond halo earrings</a> (valued at $395) and a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0435775-14kt-rose-gold-pendant-07-cttw115342944" target="_blank">14K rose gold diamond halo pendant</a> (valued at $445). The most exciting giveaway was slated for the best dressed &#8211; a vintage inspired $7,000 Poem Platinum Diamond <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/shop/engagement-rings" target="_blank">Engagement Ring</a> &#8211; which would be gifted to the “diamond of the season.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Robbins Brothers event staff voted after the soiree to select the top eight best dressed from all attendees. Voting went live on <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/robbinsbrothers/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@robbinsbrothers?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TikTok</a> from Tuesday, May 3 through Friday, May 6. A total of 1,442 votes were collected over four days and the winner was determined between social media results (50%) and event staff rankings (50%). The lucky winner was Cornelia Berrocal of Houston.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The Robbins Brothers Bridgerton Brunch was the most amazing event I have attended in a long time,” said Janie Rodriguez, a Houston-area influencer who attended the event. “Having the opportunity to get dressed up to celebrate this romantic show and play with diamond jewelry was pure perfection. The theme, the decor, the activities and the wonderful Robbins Brothers staff made this event top the charts for me.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Bridgerton Brunch was hosted just a few weeks prior to the store’s exclusive Designer Event and led into an exciting nearly half-million dollar store renovation. The Robbins Brothers Houston Clearlake/Baybrook store has been a staple in the community since opening in 2005.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Planning to buy an engagement ring for your special someone this holiday season? Here are a few tips on finding the perfect jewel without breaking the bank. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Read the Room</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do some research on your partner&#8217;s preference before you make any decisions. You can either ask them directly if you are shopping together, or investigate the type of jewelry they like and would want to wear. Keep an eye out for specific diamond cuts or band styles your partner prefers to get a feel for their perfect ring. Get your soon-to-be-fiancé&#8217;s opinion as much as possible and most importantly <strong><a href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/find-their-ring-size" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">find out their ring size</a>. </strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="684" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Guests-try-on-rings-1024x684.jpg" alt="If you're not shopping with your partner, you could bring a friend with you to offer advice or opinions!" class="wp-image-21569" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Guests-try-on-rings-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Guests-try-on-rings-300x200.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Guests-try-on-rings-768x513.jpg 768w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Guests-try-on-rings-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>If you&#8217;re not shopping with your partner, you could bring a friend with you to offer advice or opinions!</figcaption></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Set Budgets and Expectations</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ring you buy will be special no matter how much you pay and you should only spend as much as you&#8217;re comfortable with. You can plan an allocated budget with your partner, and also discuss whether you choose to purchase the ring outright or go with a financing plan. Robbins Brothers offers <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/finance" target="_blank">special financing rates</a> to help you discover the perfect payment plan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Get Excited!</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Buying a ring may seem daunting but it can actually be an easy and simple way to show someone you&#8217;re ready to spend the rest of your life with them. Preparing for this next step can be an exciting way to psyche yourself out for the big moment and it can also teach you a lot about your partner. Whether you choose to shop with your partner or look on your own, you can use this opportunity to find out their tastes or even use it as a financial lesson on how to prepare for important purchases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Get Informed with the 4 C&#8217;s </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat are the 4 C’s of diamonds, the defining traits of a diamond’s appearance. Learning how to identify good examples of each of these traits is an important step in finding the right engagement ring. Please check out our <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/the-four-cs" target="_blank">guide on the 4 C’s</a> to learn more about what to look out for. Ask to see your diamond up close before making any purchasing decisions to be sure it’s just right.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Check the Policy</strong> <strong>and Warranty</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You never know what life will throw at you and while you can only hope for the best, sometimes things happen. Just in case, you should still ask about the return policy with any ring you buy. If you buy with Robbins Brothers, you have a full 30-day satisfaction guarantee in which you can return a ring for a full refund or exchange if your fiancé wants to change the style of their engagement ring.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another important thing to look out for is a good warranty to keep your ring looking as beautiful as the day you proposed. Many warranty programs will offer an inspection service to check for any chips or cracks in the gem but Robbins Brothers goes a step further, with a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/diamond-guarantee" target="_blank">lifetime diamond warranty</a> with complimentary cleanings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>There Are No Stupid Questions, So Ask Away!</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With any big purchase, you should always ask yourself the important questions but when buying a ring you should also ask a professional any and every question that comes through your head. If you have any more questions and want to ask them online, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/appointment" target="_blank">Robbins Brothers&#8217; virtual concierge team</a> can help you work through the process and find your perfect ring.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-15900" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-300x200.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Trade Up Down The Line</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In many relationships, an engagement ring is only the first of many rings you will buy and buying an engagement ring from a store that offers a great trade-up policy is key. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/diamond-guarantee" target="_blank">Robbins Brothers&#8217; 110% Diamond Trade-Up</a> can mean the difference between the perfect ring now and a perfect ring a few years down the line. </p>

<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Color Combinations &#8211; Play with metals</span></h4>
<p>If you prefer a rose gold engagement ring with a white gold diamond tiara, or a yellow gold wedding band accented with white gold lacework, Verragio can create any custom metal combination you can dream up.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hidden Meanings &#8211; Play with numbers</span></h4>
<p>A subtle way to add personal meaning to your engagement ring is to design a ring featuring various numbers of gemstones, lace work scrolls or core elements that are relevant to your relationship. Maybe three represents the month you met, such as March; find a three stone setting, or add 3 diamonds within the lacework of the band to represent what that number means to you.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mixed Styles &#8211; Play with design</span></h4>

<p>If your S.O. loves the timelessness of a round brilliant diamond, but her vibe is more unique, consider buying her an oval diamond.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_21768" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-21768" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0433877-kirk-kara-14k-white-gold-engagement-ring-setting376547081" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-21768 size-full" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0433877_Kirk-Kara.jpg" alt="Kirk Kara solitaire diamond engagement ring" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0433877_Kirk-Kara.jpg 600w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0433877_Kirk-Kara-300x300.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0433877_Kirk-Kara-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-21768" class="wp-caption-text">Simple and elegant, an oval diamond solitaire setting still has a classic look. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0433877-kirk-kara-14k-white-gold-engagement-ring-setting376547081" rel="noopener">Ring: Kirk Kara, Sku 0433877</a></figcaption></figure></p>
<p>Generally speaking if you are looking for more bang for your buck, buying an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/shop/engagement-rings/oval" rel="noopener">oval diamond</a> will help stretch your dollar. One of the best assets of this cut is due to its shape. This shape has a larger <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/anatomy-of-a-diamond" rel="noopener">table or surface area</a> than a traditional round diamond so it covers more of your finger. Did you know it can appear up to 10% larger to the eye?</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_21767" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-21767" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0432920-a-jaffe-14k-rose-gold-diamond-engagement-ring-setting-1-3-cttw1947809850" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-21767 size-full" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432920_AJaffe.jpg" alt="A.Jaffe halo diamond engagement ring" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432920_AJaffe.jpg 600w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432920_AJaffe-300x300.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432920_AJaffe-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-21767" class="wp-caption-text">Extra bling alert!

<p>The oval diamond is considered a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/diamond-shapes-and-cuts" rel="noopener">fancy shape</a>. When shopping for fancy cut diamonds, they don’t receive a cut grade. You can still use the other <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/the-four-cs" rel="noopener">4Cs of Diamond</a> when making your purchase decision and if you need help, our <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/store-listing" rel="noopener">diamond experts</a> are here to help you through your purchase decision.</p>
<p>Since there isn’t a standard when it comes to a cut grade, when shopping for an oval diamond, look for symmetry. The oval should have identical rounded edges and similar sides. A diamond that isn’t symmetrical will be noticeable once it’s in its setting.</p>
<p>And since this cut has 58 facets like the <a target="_blank" href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/the-round-brilliant-diamond-a-buying-guide" rel="noopener">brilliant round cut diamond</a>, its sparkle factor is off the charts!</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_21766" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-21766" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0432473-tacori-18k-white-gold-diamond-engagement-ring-setting-1-10-cttw1249666845" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-21766 size-full" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432473_Tacori.jpg" alt="Modern east/west diamond engagement ring" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432473_Tacori.jpg 600w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432473_Tacori-300x300.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0432473_Tacori-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-21766" class="wp-caption-text">For an intriguing and modern twist, set a long and slender oval diamond in an east west setting. Ring: Tacori, Sku 0432473</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>The oval diamond is a very versatile shape and can accommodate A LOT of setting types. Between cutting an oval to be a long and slender diamond, to something with a bit more weight to the middle, this cut really allows for very unique and personal looks.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_21769" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-21769" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0425531-michael-m-18k-white-gold-diamond-engagement-ring-setting-3-4-cttw2028707755" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-21769" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0425531.jpg" alt="Michael M diamond engagement ring" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0425531.jpg 960w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0425531-300x300.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0425531-768x768.jpg 768w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/0425531-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-21769" class="wp-caption-text">Ovals are no doubt very elegant, and this 3 carat number is no exception. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0425531-michael-m-18k-white-gold-diamond-engagement-ring-setting-3-4-cttw2028707755" rel="noopener">Ring: Michael M., Sku 0425531</a></figcaption></figure></p>
<p>Finally, it’s important to understand the bow tie effect and what it means for this stunning diamond. The bow tie effect is something that happens with fancy cut diamonds. It can create a dark and possibly distracting area across the middle of the diamond. The key&#8230; find an oval diamond that allows the bowtie to blend in with the rest of the ring. If you don’t see it in the diamond, it’s a well cut diamond and one that will look great in whatever setting you select.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_21773" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-21773" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0398053-tacori-18k-white-gold-diamond-engagement-ring-setting-1-4-cttw2012356171" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-21773 size-full" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Tacori-0398053_T.jpg" alt="Tacori diamond engagement ring" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Tacori-0398053_T.jpg 600w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Tacori-0398053_T-300x300.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Tacori-0398053_T-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-21773" class="wp-caption-text">he oval cut diamond when set with milgrain detail has a vintage charm. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/0398053-tacori-18k-white-gold-diamond-engagement-ring-setting-1-4-cttw2012356171" rel="noopener">Ring: Tacori, Sku: 0398053</a></figcaption></figure></p>
<p>Because of the oval cut’s sparkle, whether you choose a simple or elaborate setting, or just want something that makes a statement, the oval cut diamond will lend itself beautifully to your <a target="_blank" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/engagement-rings" rel="noopener">engagement ring</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-1024x682.jpg" alt="robbins-brothers-ring-shopping" width="640" height="426" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-15900" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-300x200.jpg 300w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>I don’t know why I get anxious when I shop. Whether it is a department store, a mall or even the grocery store, it stresses me out. Now not everyone is here with me but I would venture to guess that the one place that most guys will agree makes them anxious would be a jewelry store. To add to that stress, we are not talking about your typical jewelry store here, we are talking about an engagement ring store! So what brings on this panic? Well, it could be finding the perfect ring, her giving you too many suggestions (or worse, no suggestions) and of course the biggest of them all, BUDGET. Not to worry, I have a few things to keep in mind as you search for that perfect ring that should minimize the stress.</p>
<p><em>“So I have found &#8216;the one&#8217; but how am I ever going to find &#8216;the ring&#8217;?” </em><strong>You know her. </strong>It is a bit daunting to walk into a store and see case after case of rings. Before the sweat beads begin to form, take a breath and remind yourself that you know her more than you give yourself credit for. The key is taking the things you love the most about her and translating that into a style. Start by describing her. If she is an old soul who appreciates the details, start looking at Vintage rings. Bold, loud and unique? Start with Modern rings. The best thing to know here is rings are usually described using the same terms you would use to describe your “One.&#8221; Focus on her and relax, just talking about your love seems to calm most guys down anyway.</p>
<p><em>“But she knows what she wants and gave me four choices! Oh crud, what am I going to do?” </em><strong>Always go for #1.</strong> Panic sets in, heavy breathing, you can’t stop thinking “What if I get it wrong?” Relax! This one’s easy. She gave you her first choice, her second choice, plus her third and fourth choice, right? Let me say that again slowly…. Her… FIRST… choice….actually we can stop right there! It’s her first choice for a reason, so relax and don’t over complicate it! Just find the perfect ring within the wheel of options for that design and of course, within your budget.<br />
<a href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic2.jpg" alt="robbins brothers diamond shapes" width="640" height="640" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15903" srcset="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic2.jpg 640w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/blog-pic2-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p><em>“Yea, you’re lucky, my girlfriend doesn’t even know I am doing this and has given me nothing to go on.”</em> <strong>She will love it.</strong> The thing to remember here is, she is going to love whatever you select. I know that sounds very cliché and to be honest it&#8217;s not 100% true, but I would say at least 95% true and that’s not too bad! Of course you can’t just walk into a typical jewelry store and buy the first ring you see. You will need to really think about the rings and her style and of course her, but the key here is to follow your heart. Once you see the ring and know it is perfect for her, relax and know that once you express your love and drop to one knee, whatever you have chosen to be in the box will be perfect.</p>
<p><em>“2 months Salary? or is it 3? Can I actually handle eating Ramen for the next 2 years? Can she?”</em> <strong>Overspending is not required.</strong> It’s hard not to stress about how much you are &#8220;supposed&#8221; to spend. Here is where you need to take another Deep breath&#8230;and tell yourself that there is no rule. You get to decide how much to spend. Let’s face it, there is absolutely nothing romantic about being broke. Figure out how much you want to spend, and shop based on that budget. Ask to see the biggest most beautiful ring (that matches that wheel of options above) all within the &#8220;still have enough money for dinner&#8221; budget. Just by knowing where you are comfortable before you shop makes this stress a lot more manageable.</p>
<p>Now there is no magic pill you can take to make all the stress go away and that is OK, the idea here is to minimize it. Honestly, there needs to be some anxiety, this is a big deal and so is she. To give you that extra peace of mind, ask these simple questions before you start:</p>
<p>• What if it is not perfect, can I exchange it?<br />
• What if she wants a tattoo instead, can I return it?<br />
• What if a diamond falls out, will she be covered for life?<br />
• Can you help me with the proposal once I find the ring?</p>
<p>This should help you know if you are in the right place to begin with and that alone will help you relax. So to review, shopping sucks, keep your mind on her, ask the right questions and relax! You got this.</p>
<p>We would love to hear from you. What things stressed you out while you shopped and how did you overcome it? What advice would you give to the next guy that starts this process? Leave a comment, God knows we can use all the help we can get!</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Who nerd</strong><br />
Don’t blink or you’ll miss this TARDIS ring inspired by Dr. Who. With subtle cutouts representing the police call box and cleverly set diamonds you’ll be ready to face all of time and space with your Time Lord by your side.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_14802" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14802" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Dr-Who-nerd.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-14802" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Dr-Who-nerd.jpg" alt="Pinterest.com" width="500" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-14802" class="wp-caption-text">Pinterest.com</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><strong>Gamer nerd</strong><br />
Is the Playstation your favorite console? Show your dedication to the system and your lady with this custom engagement ring. The colored stones really make this piece, don’t you think?</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_14804" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14804" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/gamer-nerd.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-14804" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/gamer-nerd.jpg" alt="Pinterest.com" width="500" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-14804" class="wp-caption-text">Pinterest.com</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><strong>Indiana Jones nerd</strong><br />
Sure, Indiana Jones wooed his share of women, but this would be his choice, should he settle down (I’m choosing to ignore the ending of The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). With the shank made to look like a coiled whip and the yellow diamond representing the idol, this ring belongs in a museum.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_14806" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14806" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/indiana-jones-nerd-ring.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-14806" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/indiana-jones-nerd-ring.jpg" alt="Pinterest.com" width="500" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-14806" class="wp-caption-text">Pinterest.com</figcaption></figure></p>

Fashion Editors and Bloggers Review Robbins Brothers’<br />
Top Eight Engagement Rings That Every Woman Should See This Fall</strong></p>
<p><em>Just in time for the holidays, lifestyle bloggers and top fashion and beauty editors from The Knot, Houston Chronicle and Spaz Magazine share riveting reviews of Robbins Brothers’ Fall engagement ring picks.</em></p>
<p><strong>Los Angeles, CA – November 6, 2013</strong> – Today <a title="Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Store" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/top-pick-engagement-rings.ring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Store</a> announced its <strong>2nd Annual</strong> <em><strong>Fashionista Ring Reviews</strong></em>, which includes many of the retailer’s most popular and sought after engagement ring styles this Fall. Ranging from the three-stone ring with rose gold to the vintage diamond halo design adorned with micro-pave, some of your favorite style experts weigh in on their favorite engagement ring bling.</p>
<p>The <em>Fashionista</em> list showcases the <a title="blue sapphire design" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/top-pick-engagement-rings.ring?ring=ring6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blue sapphire design</a>, a favorite of Sazan Barzani, founder and editor for Spaz Magazine. “If a man proposed to me with this ring, the answer would be YES! I absolutely love the feminine cut/style of this ring. The eye-catching blue adds the perfect pop of color without being too flashy. It’s one of those rings that speaks for itself.”</p>
<p>Natasha Burton, blogger for Cosmopolitan.com prefers the <a title="classic Tacori style" href="https://www.robbinsbrothers.com/top-pick-engagement-rings.ring?ring=ring8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classic Tacori style</a>. “It’s ideal for the lady who likes her bling and desires a classic look — with a bit of a twist. The one-carat solitaire stone anchors the ring, while the side diamonds add just the right amount of extra sparkle. Set in Platinum, this piece is certainly as awe-inspiring as it is beautiful.” Kim Fusaro from Glamour.com, who opts to go halo-less, was equally excited to share her take on the Kirk Kara design. “Round diamonds are currently my favorite—SO timeless. I love the vintage-y feel of this setting. The sapphires are on-trend, but they&#8217;re not front and center or overwhelmingly big, which I like. The diamond is the star, after all.”</p>
<p>The Houston Chronicle’s fashion and beauty editor, Joy Sewing, describes the Verragio three-stone engagement ring as “A heart stopper. Not simply because of its breathtaking beauty, but also its impeccable detail from the swirl of the band to the rose-gold inside. If a ring can symbolize the bond of love between two people, this one does it magnificently.”</p>
<p>“The Fashionista Ring Reviews is our fun way, through the eyes of style experts, to present a variety of options to our customers who are planning a marriage proposal this time of year,” said Shannon Daly, director of jewelry for Robbins Brothers. “This year we saw an increased interest in rose gold and blue sapphires, while vintage halo is still very popular for those who prefer a big look. The styles are plentiful and we’re focused on helping customers find that one perfect ring to symbolize their committed love.”</p>

<p>I never really gave thought about diamond engagement rings until I started working at Robbins Brothers, let alone Eco-friendly diamonds. I can’t say that I’m 100% Eco-friendly. Sure, I recycle most of what I can and I try to save water and energy. I don’t drive an electric car, but I’d like to think that I’m pretty Earth-conscious with most of my daily decisions.</p>
<p>I even had a negative idea about lab-created diamonds, as if they were fake diamonds or just knock-offs. However, the more I learned about our e3 Diamond, the more I was intrigued. The e3 diamond is a lab-created diamond that has the same exceptional color, clarity and brilliance as an Earth-mined diamond. It begins with natural carbon, which is the same minerals that make up natural diamonds. It goes under the same growing process as a natural diamond, only sped up so it takes about four days, rather than a billion years. Not only is this diamond an Eco-conscience choice, but it is budget-conscience too! Cultured diamonds typically cost about 30% less than the mined variety with generally the same specs. I gave a hint to my then-boyfriend that I wouldn’t mind having an e3 diamond (hint, hint).</p>
<p>I was finally a total believer I actually saw an e3 diamond for the first time (which was when he proposed!). It was just absolutely stunning! My fiancee also used recycled white gold for the setting. It was just another way that we could help Mother Nature and make a more conscious choice during this huge milestone in our life and I couldn&#8217;t be happier. After all, no one could have guessed that my sparkling diamond was lab-grown. Whenever I told someone that it was a lab-created diamond, they were pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p><a href="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/e3diamond.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12064" alt="e3diamond" src="https://engaged.robbinsbrothers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/e3diamond.jpg" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>So what do you think? Would you consider getting an eco-friendly diamond or do you prefer natural diamonds? Let us know!</p>

<p>Some engagement consultants encourage hopeful grooms to buy their fiance an engagement ring that accomplishes two goals: make her mother proud <em>and</em> her girlfriends jealous. Well we&#8217;ve come up with five gorgeous options that just might do the trick.</p>

<p><strong>Engagement Date</strong> July 5, 2013<br />
<strong>Wedding Date</strong> Tentatively February 28, 2015</p>
<p><em>In James&#8217; Words:</em></p>
<p><strong>How did you two meet?</strong><br />
We actually met at a bar, but it wasn&#8217;t by accident or a random encounter. One of my good friends was Danielle’s roommate in college. She thought we would make a good couple and really wanted us to meet each other. The week before Valentine&#8217;s Day 2010, we met at a Brewski&#8217;s bar for a few drinks and really just hit if off from there. One of the things she told me that night was how she was going to do an internship at Disney because she was a huge fan of anything Disney. As you will see, that was a huge part of the proposal. A few days after we met, my friend commented on how we were glued to each other that night just talking and getting to know each other. It was funny at the end of the night because I wanted to know when I could see her again but since the next week was Valentine&#8217;s Day, it was awkward trying to figure that out.</p>
<p><strong>How did you propose?</strong><br />
We vacationed to Florida for the week of July 4th to visit family in friends in Orlando and Fort Lauderdale. Last year, we both did internships at Disney and this was our chance to go back and revisit old friends and go to the Disney parks again. I had been planning for a while to propose on this trip as our time at Disney was something special for us, something we shared together. Closer to the end of the trip, I had made dinner reservations at Ohana, a Hawaiian themed restaurant at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. I chose this location because it looks out on the castle at Magic Kingdom, you can watch the fireworks from your dinner table, and it has a beach front on the lake that separates the resort from the park. After we ate and watched the fireworks, I took her down to the water to “walk along the beach.” I whispered sweet nothings into her ear before I got down and asked her to marry me. She said Yes! She was not expecting it at all and immediately burst into tears once she realized what was going on. It was very cool that the box had a built in light as the proposal was at nighttime but that didn&#8217;t stop the ring from shining beautifully.</p>

<p><strong>Danielle, what do you love most about your engagement ring?</strong><br />
The ring is beautiful. It has everything I wanted&#8230;.low profile, 3 stoned princess cut with princess cut channel set diamonds. The clarity of the ring really makes it sparkle and shine! It’s stunning and I just love it.</p>
