Where Do I Begin?

A step by step guide to purchasing your perfect engagement ring.

Research Your Partner

Take a look at the jewellery that your partner already owns and wears. What colour is the jewellery - white, yellow, rose? Do they love coloured stones or are diamonds the way to go? Is the style delicate, bold, classic, vintage?

Does she like classic styles, delicate or bold jewellery or rings with maximum sparkle? Perhaps she's mentioned how much she loves her Grandma's, Mum's or friend's engagement ring? Or she may have dropped hints about what style of engagement ring she'd like.

Learn More About Diamonds & Ring Settings

A diamond has four components which give it its value, the 4Cs - cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. Our Diamond & Gemstone Guide will show you what you need to know about the 4 Cs.

An engagement ring is traditionally a solitaire, a single diamond, but there are a range of styles you can choose from including three stone, halo and accent stones.

Work Out Your Budget

An important aspect to consider when purchasing an engagement ring is your budget. Be realistic about what you can spend, as no one really knows what an appropriate amount is except you. We will work with you to create your dream ring within your budget.

We work with you to make the most of your budget, based on yours and your partner's preferences. Whether it's specific diamond shape or clarity, or a desired diamond size, we are here to help.
