You’ve decided to propose to the love of your life – fantastic! But now it hits you how surprisingly little you actually know about jewellery and your lover’s taste in it. So how do you find the perfect engagement ring?
In a courtship, there are actually two ‘yeses’ at stake. A ‘yes’ for you and one for your engagement ring. The first ‘yes’ is undoubtedly the most important, but the right engagement ring certainly also plays an important role in a successful proposal.
As a future suitor, the pitfalls can quickly seem endless. How do you track down the taste of your chosen one? Are there specific rules for engagement rings? And the slightly awkward question: What is the price for such a ring? Do you have to set aside a month’s salary or more if you are going to propose like a gentleman?
Understanding Your Partner’s Taste
Firstly, it’s about observing your future partner. Is there something stylistic that characterises her or his style? This can be quite concrete in relation to the jewellery she wears. For example, does she prefer very simple, understated jewellery, or is she more inclined towards pieces with some volume? It’s also important that the engagement ring can be combined with other rings and jewellery that the partner wears daily.
The style of clothing can also provide hints about what to look for in an engagement ring. If your girlfriend dresses very femininely, she might prefer a ring with a more prominent stone. On the other hand, if she is more sporty, a classic and simpler engagement ring might be more appreciated. However, there are no strict rules when it comes to choosing an engagement ring – what matters most is that the ring feels perfect for the person you love.
Guiding You Towards the Perfect Ring
At Hatton Garden Jewellers Mouza, we help men who are unsure about which ring to choose. If you’re starting from scratch, we keep it simple. Essentially, there are four elements in an engagement ring that we focus on during the process of guiding our clients towards their final decision: Design – Metal – Stone – Price.
We have an incredible number of choices, so to make it simpler, we initially show the customer a few ring designs. It’s about providing an overview and creating a sense of calm to ensure clarity and confidence in your choice.
We have recently redesigned our engagement universe on our website, making it much easier to get an overview of the choices available. We have a ring finder that guides you to your desired design, and we’ve made the selection more visual so you can see the rings. It’s always good to start on our website before visiting us to gain more clarity about style, design, price, etc.
Stones on an Engagement Ring
We would say that we have never sold an engagement ring without a stone – the diamond symbolises something eternal, and most people want to pass on that beautiful symbolism.
When talking about stones, you also need to consider the colour, size, and shape of the stone. Engagement rings with classic white diamonds are, of course, the most popular.
