The Rules of Engagement

A Moment Forever

Buying an engagement ring should be one of the most memorable moments in your life. You pull an engagement ring out of your pocket and ask the love of your life to be your wife. You desperately want her to say yes and fall in love with her ring too, right?

You don’t have to go it alone. We are here to help you every step of the way to make your buying experience stress free.

Decide How Much You Want to Spend

It is important to feel comfortable with the amount you intend to spend on a ring. You will be confronted with a dizzying array of choices when it comes to the engagement ring and center stone. Cut, color, clarity and carat weight influence the value of the diamond and the overall appearance of the stone. Decide what is most important to you and where you might want to compromise to fit your price range.

Know Her Favorite Shape Diamond

She will be wearing this ring everyday of your married life. It will need to go with everything from jeans to evening wear. If you are uncertain about her diamond shape preference, it is always sensible to stick to the classic, such as round or square. They became classic because they appeal to most people. CHECK HER PINTEREST PAGE.

Shop By Shape

Know Her Style

Pay attention to the type of jewelry she wears. Is her style more classic, modern or vintage. What type of metal does she prefer; white, yellow, rose or tu-tone?

Read Ring Setting Education

Know Her Ring Size

If she wears rings, borrow one she already owns; just remember finger size can vary between left and right hand. Press the ring into a bar of soap for an impression. You can also slide it down one of your fingers and draw a line where it stops.
