An engagement ring should be as unique as the love it celebrates. Whether you already have a design in mind or are just beginning to explore, our experts will guide you through every step – from selecting the perfect diamond or gemstone to crafting a setting that reflects your story.

Determine your budget.
Start by setting a realistic budget for the engagement ring. This will help narrow down your options and ensure you do not overspend. Remember, the sentiment behind the ring is more important than its price.
Learn about the 4C's
Before you shop, familiarise yourself with the Four Cs of diamonds — Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat:
Cut: affects the brilliance of the diamonds. The better the cut, the more the diamond will sparkle.
Colour: diamond colour is graded from D (colourless) to Z (light colour). Colourless diamonds are the most sought-after.
Clarity: this refers to the absence of inclusions and blemishes. The higher the clarity, the better the quality.
Carat: carat refers to the weight of the diamond. Higher carat means a larger.
Choose the shape
Understand what diamond shape your partner prefers. The shape of the diamond can significantly influence the ring’s overall appearance. Popular shapes include round, princess, oval, and cushion.
Pick the right material
The metal for the band is also a crucial choice. Popular metals include:
Platinum: durable and pure, but more expensive.
18ct Gold: available in yellow, white, and rose variants, and a classic choice.
Consider your partner’s lifestyle and taste when choosing the metal.
Consider the setting.
The setting of the ring plays a big part in the style:
Prong setting: Most common, it uses little metal claws to grip the diamond.
Bezel setting: Encircles the diamond with a metal rim, good for active lifestyles.
Halo setting: Features smaller diamonds around the main stone to enhance sparkle and make the center stone appear larger.
