1. Understand Your Budget:
Before diving into the world of engagement rings, establish a budget that you're comfortable with. Knowing your financial boundaries will help narrow down your options and prevent you from overspending. Even having a ballpark range will help you find the perfect option for you. Don't feel bad if your budget is not as grand as you'd like it to be. An engagement ring can always be upgraded in the future!
2. Consider Personal Style:
Pay attention to your partner's style preferences. Take note of the jewellery that they wear regularly, as this will offer insight into their unique taste. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to consult with friends or family.
3. Choose the Right Metal:
Engagement rings come in various metals, each with its unique appeal. Consider factors like durability and personal preference when selecting the metal. Popular options include:
--Platinum: Known for its durability and overall shine.
--Gold (White, Yellow, or Rose): Classic, timeless and versatile.
--Silver: An economic choice and a great option for thicker bands.
4. Select a Stunning Gemstone:
While diamonds are the traditional choice for engagement rings, don't hesitate to explore other gemstones if they hold personal significance. Some alternatives include:
Diamonds: Eternally timeless, classic, durable and sparkly.
Sapphires: Iconic, enduring, lustrous and available in various colors.
Emeralds: Known for their vibrant green hues.
Rubies: The red colour symbolizes love and passion.
5. Educate Yourself on the Four Cs (For Diamonds):
If you decide on a diamond, whether it is natural/mined or lab-grown, understanding the Four Cs is crucial:
Carat: The weight of the diamond.
Cut: Refers to how well the diamond is cut for optimal sparkle.
Color: Grades range from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown).
Clarity: Evaluates the presence of internal or external flaws.
6. Discover the Perfect Setting:
The setting of the engagement ring influences its style and overall appearance. Common settings include:
Solitaire: A single gemstone in a classic setting.
Halo: A central gemstone surrounded by a row (or two, for double halos) of smaller diamonds or gemstones.
Three-Stone: Features a trio of gemstones, often symbolizing a loving past, present, and future.
7. Get the Right Size:
Ensuring that the ring fits as closely as possible is important. Sneak a ring they wear on their ring finger for measurement, or ask her friends or family for help. There are many tips and tricks to find the perfect size. However, Mandia Jewellery does offer free ring resizing within the first 6 months of purchase, so if it's not the perfect fit at the time of the proposal, we can always resize it later.
