Engagement Rings

Shopping for an engagement ring can be a lengthy process, so it's important to understand each individual step. First, set a budget based on what you can afford. If you already have an idea of the style, that's great. If not, asking friends or family for insights can help.

Once you know what style resonates with your partner, familiarise yourself with the 4 Cs of diamonds (cut, clarity, carat and colour). You'll also need to pick the setting style (e.g. solitaire or trilogy) and choose the metal.
