DECIDE ON A BUDGET AND RING SIZE

Embarking on your engagement ring shopping journey is an exciting and momentous occasion. Start by setting a clear budget. Knowing how much you're willing to spend will help you narrow down your options and ensure you stay within your financial comfort zone. Next,  determine her ring size discreetly. You can borrow one of her rings (from the correct finger), have a friend or family member ask casually, or even check her jewelry box while she's not around. This attention to detail will ensure that the ring fits perfectly when you propose, making the moment even more memorable.

CHOOSE A PRECIOUS METAL AND BRAND

Selecting the right precious metal type is a significant decision that sets the stage for its overall style. At our store, we offer a range of options of engagement ring metals to suit your preferences, whether you're drawn to the timeless elegance of platinum or the romantic allure of rose gold. Furthermore, the designer you select plays a pivotal role in bringing your vision to life. Simon G. is known for its intricate and artistic designs. Sylvie, on the other hand, focuses on exceptional craftsmanship. Our in-house selection also offers a diverse range of styles, from classic to contemporary.

PICK OUT A CENTER STONE, SETTING, AND STYLE

The setting type, whether it's a classic solitaire, a dazzling halo, or a vintage-inspired setting, sets the stage for the ring's overall aesthetic. The center stone, which can be a brilliant diamond or a vibrantly colored gemstone, serves as the focal point, symbolizing the heart of your commitment. The style of the ring, whether it's a modern and minimalist design or a more ornate and intricate creation, should reflect both your partner's individual taste and your unique love story. By considering these elements, you can create an engagement ring that truly speaks to you and your partner, making it a lasting reminder of your journey together.
