Buying an Engagement Ring

Getting engaged should be one of the happiest days of your life. Buying an engagement ring will be the most important jewellery buying day of your life.

Budget - set your budget for what you are willing to spend on an engagement ring.

Buying – if you are going to surprise your girl with an engagement ring, make sure that you know what she likes. If you take your girl diamond ring shopping, set aside an afternoon for fittings.

Custom Made – if you designed the ring yourself, make sure a reputable jeweller makes your engagement ring. Ask for a certificate with the ring.

Diamonds – diamonds can be obtained in a variety of colours, sizes and cuts. See our other article on diamond clarity grades.
