Looking for the perfect engagement ring to symbolize your love? Great! We want to help you get it right while ensuring that you have lots of fun in the process. In fact, this is why we offer three ways to shop for your dream ring!
1) Pre-Set Ring Option – An affordable and convenient option indeed, if you choose a ring from a pre-set collection such as Cherish or Poem, you can purchase the ring that day and get engaged at night! It truly is a “ready to go” option and the total price of the ring includes the setting and the diamond. Easy enough, right?
2) Pick your setting + pick your diamond – If you have a specific diamond clarity in mind and want to pair it with a gorgeous channel setting, for example, this shopping preference could be perfect for you. You’ll have a chance to view various diamonds with a gemscope, scale and color grading tray–just the way the professionals do–and then pick the most beautiful one within your budget. Not sure what she likes? You can always surprise your future bride with a solitaire ring for your marriage proposal and then make a date to shop for the setting together.
3) Custom Creation – Sometimes the ring of your dreams is not inside one of our display cases. And that’s totally fine. We get it and can help design the ring in your mind. After all, this is one of the most personal, symbolic purchases you’ll ever make–we want you to be ecstatic about your choice.
Keep in mind that the engagement ring not only symbolizes your committed love and adoration, but is also eye candy that she’ll be proud to show off. Likewise, your shopping experience should give you confidence in your selection by offering a ring that dazzles, at a fair price, with the best store support, in a non-pressure environment. To guarantee a ring that dances from across the room, invest some time researching these key factors: Ring Styles & Types, Metal Options, Diamond Quality and the Perfect Budget.

Ring Styles and Types – Determine if she is more Vintage, Modern, or Classic. You are the expert with this one as you already know how she dresses, how she wears her hair, her taste in furniture, handbags and her other pieces of jewelry. Take the Quiz!
Metal Options – Consider how your metal choice affects your budget, and how it looks and feels. The most popular metals are white gold, rose gold, yellow gold and platinum.
Diamond Quality – Anything you plan to wear indefinitely should be created with meticulous attention to detail and the highest level of structural integrity. So, how do you spot quality?? To get the maximum fire and sparkle, side diamonds must match for clarity, color and cut, and be evenly set.
Perfect Budget – Wouldn’t it be great if there were such a thing? Take the “2 months salary” suggestion with a grain of salt. Instead, determine what is right for you. Just remember, there is no right or wrong answer here, but one worth thinking through as you reflect on your finances and what works best for the two of you.
When in doubt, grab your honey and do some shopping together. You may feel clueless, but more likely than not, she probably has an idea of what she wants. If you prefer the traditional approach and want to keep it a secret, no worries. You can rely on our style experts to help you choose the right ring.
