Engagement Rings 101
There are no tests or term-papers and absolutely no make-ups in this class. When choosing an engagement ring, you get one shot to get it right – so we've set up this helpful engagement ring guide to help you make the right decision.
As you are likely already know, the time-honored engagement ring consists of a single diamond housed in a setting of precious metal. But choosing just the right diamond for your beloved may seem a bit overwhelming.
You may also have heard the common recommendation for spending "two months salary" on an engagement ring, but we advise our customers to focus more on quality and value and not so much on an arbitrary dollar amount. We believe the bulk of your investment should go towards a spectacular diamond; a setting is easy enough to replace if she doesn't love it.
Read through these useful articles and shopping tips before making your decision and you're sure to select an engagement ring she'll adore. We've even included some stories from our customers relating how they proposed to their partner. As always, feel free to contact us if you have specific questions about choosing a diamond engagement ring.
