There is no right or wrong answer about how much you should spend, but consider an engagement ring an investment in your future. We recommend talking to your jeweler about your wishes and having a budget in mind so we can help you determine what aspects are most important to invest in. There are dozens of different styles and diamond options that will be suitable choices depending on your dream engagement ring.

You should have a clear idea of a budget and some ideas about the type of ring you want (it’s okay if you’re not totally sure!). It also helps to know the ring size of your beloved, though you can always resize later. Always talk to your jeweler before making a purchase. They’ll be able to assist you in finding what you’re looking for at a price point you can afford.

Absolutely not! Gemstone engagement rings are quickly rising in popularity. We recommend sticking with sapphires and rubies, as they are both durable stones and will stand the test of time much better than other semi-precious stones that scratch and chip easily. Sapphires are available in a variety of colors ranging from deep blue to pink to yellow. If your loved one likes colored stones but still wants the durability of a diamond, consider looking into colored diamonds, or using gemstones as colorful accents around a central diamond.
