Engagement rings

There's a galaxy of rings and the best way to get a sense of what style you like is to go through bridal magazines, visit jewellers and search online.


Don't know what style is right for you? Do you prefer white metal over yellow gold? Modern or vintage?

Contact friends, family members and other brides in your area to find a trustworthy jeweller. Use forums to connect with other brides and take your time.

If a jeweller is too pushy or you get an uncomfortable feeling, move on to the next one.

Once you've decided on a shape, focus on colour, cut, clarity and carat.

Be realistic about what you can afford, and stick to your budget but don't forget to factor in certification .

Don't sacrifice quality for size. A smaller stone that's higher in quality will be worth more in the long run. But if size really does matter, consider oval, pear and marquise gems—these shapes make a diamond look largest.
