What should I consider when buying an engagement ring?

To ensure you are shopping for the perfect engagement ring, you'll need to consider a few key elements - the style of the ring, the shape of the diamond, the metal of the band and the budget you have in mind. When choosing the diamond itself, you should consider the 4 C's of Diamond Quality. All of our diamond rings are independently certified, so you'll have all the information you need about the size and condition of your diamond. Customise your engagement ring online to make it unique and exactly to your needs or visit our Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham team.

What are the 4C's of Diamond Quality?

The 4C's of Diamond Quality are very important to understand when shopping for an engagement ring - these are Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat. Popular examples of diamond cut are round cut, cushion cut and princess cut diamonds, which will determine how the diamond sparkles. The colour refers to the hue of the diamond from colourless to yellow and are defined by D-Z grading. Clarity grade determines the appearance of the stone by marking how many internal 'inclusions' or external 'blemishes' the diamond has. Diamonds are measured in carats which take into account weight over size and are split into points where 100 points are equal to one carat.

How do I find my partner's ring size?

Once you have picked the perfect engagement ring, the next step is finding out your partners ring size. We recommend asking close family or friends to subtly find out, checking rings she may already have as the size will be engraved in the middle or finally checking a ring size chart. We have printable ring size charts so you can find out for yourself.

What metal should an engagement ring be?

There is no right or wrong answer when choosing your engagement ring metal as it all comes down to personal preference. We recommend paying attention to jewellery your partner where's more frequently as you will be able to determine whether they prefer yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum jewellery. Platinum is the most popular metal for engagement and wedding rings as it is considered to be the most luxurious and precious of metals due it's natural white however, white gold is a cheaper alternative with the similar benefits of being classic and timeless. Yellow gold is considered a more traditional metal and is preferred for a more antique look whereas rose gold is a more fashionable option.
