How To Pick An Engagement Ring

Picking an Engagement Ring is an emotional and extremely personal process. You want to pick the perfect Ring for your soulmate, but you may want to keep it a surprise. So how do you go about picking the perfect Engagement Ring without totally spoiling the surprise? Let’s dive in.

Before we creep, we ask…

Andrea didn't come with Farid to pick her ring, but she gave him a ton of guidance beforehand.

Before you go full MI6 and dig up every detail of her Dream Ring from every source imaginable, ask her if she’d like to go look at Rings together at a local jeweler. If you’ve been together for 2 years or more and envision a future together, this is a totally normal conversation.

You can contact us or fill out this form for a no-obligation visit to our workshop where she can try on Ring Settings, compare different Diamond shapes and sizes, and you both can ask all the questions you’d like. We’ll also take her ring size which is a MISSION to do in secret. IF she hasn’t given you any guidance already on the kind of Ring she wants, I would highly recommend this as a starting point, and then waiting a couple weeks or months before you actually start building her Ring (to keep some element of surprise).

Should that fail, we go full-MI6…

Kamren sent Tongelah over to pick out her dream engagement ring. Then he designed it with us.

If, for whatever reason, you aren’t able to pick her Engagement Ring together, initiate secret agent mode. Kamren sent Tongelah over to quote us on some work from her company. I took her out for lunch to discuss, and the afterwards we looked at some Rings, together very casually. Excellently-played Kamren.

You’re looking for answers to the 4 main questions on this form.

  1. What kind of center stone does she want? Lab or Natural Diamond, gemstone, etc.
    • “Hey babe, have you heard of Lab-Grown Diamonds?”
    • “Ooo look at this Diamond/Sapphire/Ruby Ring. What do you think?”
    • Ask her friends and family, creep on her Instagram and Pinterest.
  2. What shape does she want the center stone to be? Oval, Round, Emerald-Cut, etc.
    • “What do you think of this Ring?” Try this with a few different shapes. See which ones she likes and doesn’t and ask if she has a favorite.
    • Ask her friends and family, creep on her Instagram and Pinterest.
  3. What does the Setting look like? Solitaire, smaller diamonds on the band, hidden halo, etc.
    • Same as the step above, show her as many examples as possible and get her official stamp of approval on her #1 favorite.
  4. This question’s primarily for you, and there’s no standard “right” answer. What’s your approximate budget for the Ring? The reason we ask is to let you know the biggest Diamond available for that budget. Whether that’s $1,000, $3,000, $7,000 or more, we’ll help you optimize your budget and help you pick the perfect Diamond for your Engagement Ring.
  5. BONUS: What’s her ring size? No big deal if you’re not sure, we can always resize it later. But if you know it already, she can wear it snuggly right after you propose. (Assuming she says “Yes”. Which she will. Just making sure you’re still reading ????).

And once we’ve done our recon, we shop…

Once you’ve got the basic answers ready, it’s time to do some shopping. If you want to do some browsing for a Center Diamond on your own, start with this page. These are links to the best-cut Diamonds on our site, budget-optimized for “white” Color and “eye-clean” Clarity. Pick from the biggest Diamonds for whichever shape you’re looking for and make an appointment to see them in person.

If you want us to do the shopping for you, we’re happy to help. Put us to work! Fill out this form for a no-obligation quote and we’ll help you pick the perfect Engagement Ring. I’ll personally pick out a few perfectly-cut Center Diamonds based on your specs and quote you on a beautiful Ring Setting based on any details you have. Then we’ll set up a day for you to stop by our workshop in Downtown Miami and compare everything in person.

Godspeed, my friend. Don’t stress out, we’re to help with whatever you need. And remember, whatever Ring you pick, she’s going to love. Because she loves you.
