THE ENGAGEMENT RING GUIDE
Welcome to our Engagement Ring Guide, your ultimate resource for making the most important purchase of a lifetime. Whether you're just starting to explore options or fine-tuning your preferences, we're here to simplify the process. From understanding ring styles to demystifying diamonds, our practical guide provides advice and inspiration to assist you in making this important decision with confidence.
DEVELOPING A BUDGET
Before starting your journey to find the perfect engagement ring, it is important to establish a budget that aligns with both your style and financial comfort. Whilst traditionally, some may suggest allocating 2-3 months' salary, it's ultimately a decision unique to each person. It is important to consider your financial landscape, in balance with your significant other’s expectations. At the end of the day, it is not about the monetary value of the engagement ring but is more about the thoughtful details, effort and craftsmanship devoted to creating a truly special piece.
Choosing the design

Choosing The Metal
Choosing the precious metal for your engagement ring is an important part of the decision process. Consider your partner's style, preferences, and lifestyle when making your selection.
Typical choices for engagement rings are yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum.
Yellow Gold has a classic warmth that appeals to many. It's traditional yet versatile, complementing a wide range of skin tones and styles.
White Gold offers a contemporary look with its silvery-white finish. It's a great alternative to platinum, however it requires routine rhodium plating.
Rose Gold is loved for its romantic and feminine appeal. Its warm, blush hue adds a unique touch to engagement rings.
Platinum is known for its durability and timeless elegance. It has a naturally white appearance that won't fade or tarnish over time.
Choosing The Gemstone

All of our Signature styles are customisable with your choice of stone. Let our specialists guide you through the process of selecting your unique gemstone.
