Engagement Rings

Traditionally, it is thought that you should spend up to three months’ salary on an engagement ring for your partner. However, this may be quite a large sum of money so you may prefer to spend a lot less. Essentially, the amount you spend on engagement rings should be down to you and how much you feel comfortable with spending.

Engagement rings shopping can be a lengthy process, so it’s important to understand each individual step. First, set a budget based on what you can afford. Then, pick the setting style (e.g. solitaire or trilogy), and choose the metal and type of diamond you would like, considering cut, clarity, carat, and colour.

Make sure to get an accurate measurement of the wearer's ring size to avoid the hassle of resizing down the line, and look into obtaining ring insurance. If you would like a bespoke engagement ring, book a consultation with a jeweller to discuss design ideas and receive a quote.

Remember that getting your ring can take four to six weeks, so give yourself plenty of time when ordering! If you’re unsure where to start with choosing an engagement ring, check out our engagement ring guide or get in touch with us.

To choose an engagement ring for your partner, you first need to understand what style they like. If you already have an idea, that is perfect!

Once you know what engagement rings style you are looking for, you will need to set a budget, learn about the 4 C’s of diamonds, and find their ring size. Don’t worry though - our jewellery experts are always available to offer you expert advice either in-store or online. Remember to give yourself enough time to search for the perfect ring as you will need to be prepared to order in advance.

Although traditionally an engagement ring will feature a diamond, the most important part of choosing a diamond engagement ring is that it should suit your partners unique style and personality first and foremost. We have a variety of different engagement rings that feature various diamond alternatives. If you’re thinking about choosing something different to a diamond our range of gemstone engagement rings are the perfect place to start. Choose stunning sapphire engagement rings or if red is their favourite colour why not pick a rich and opulent ruby ring instead. The possibilities really are endless and the choice is totally up to you.
