Question 2

What makes an engagement ring timeless?

Accepted Answer

A timeless engagement ring stands the test of time and never goes out of fashion. Traditional styles, such as the solitaire and three-stone rings, are considered classics and loved by all generations thanks to their simplicity and beauty. Best of all, these timeless classics are easily adapted to suit the trends of the day, allowing you to exert your style and flair into the design and make it your own. Any modern-day twist you make will never detract from the fact that your engagement ring is still a timeless classic.

Question 3

What style of engagement ring is most popular?

Accepted Answer

All couples are different and many like to choose an engagement ring style that represents their special union. Solitaire and three-stone engagement rings remain as popular as ever. However, unique multi-shaped rings are rapidly gaining in popularity. And, while sticking with popular styles, many brides are adapting these rings to suit their own personalities, adding colored gemstones, hidden elements, non-traditional cuts, and other elements.

Question 4

What is the most popular engagement ring shape for 2023?

Accepted Answer

Oval and marquise cut gemstones are making it big in 2023. These slightly elongated shapes look great and help give the appearance of slimmer and longer fingers.

Question 5

Do couples pick engagement rings together?

Accepted Answer

It’s entirely down to the individual couple. Some grooms take the responsibility of picking a ring into their own hands so they have the perfect engagement ring to offer when they pop the question. And, some brides see it as a romantic gesture and relish the element of surprise. However, there’s always the possibility that the ring won’t fit or that the design isn’t exactly to the bride’s liking. More and more couples now shop for the special ring together. This ensures that the final piece is something both partners love and is a true representation of their unique bond. If you’re the special lady who wants to be surprised by the engagement ring, you could get your BFF, sister, or mom to drop some subtle hints to your other half about the kind of ring you’ve always dreamed of.

Question 6

In 2023 How much should I spend on an engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

Traditionally, the rule was that you should spend two months’ salary on an engagement ring. Some would even suggest three months. In reality, it all depends on individual circumstances and financial situation. Spend what you can and what you’re comfortable with as there’s no point in going into debt before you’ve even wed your soul mate. Whatever type of design you want can be achieved for as little or as much money as you can afford. Pick a cut, such as an oval or marquise, that will make the gemstone look more prominent on the finger. Choose a cheaper lab-grown diamond rather than a mined one. Highlight a small central stone with a halo to add to the sparkle. There are always ways to keep the costs down and still purchase a unique engagement ring that people will admire.

Question 7

How many carats should an engagement ring be?

Accepted Answer

The majority of engagement rings are between one and two carats, but there’s no exact rule as to how many carats it should be. Carat refers to the weight of the diamond rather than the size and a higher carat doesn’t necessarily mean a larger stone or more sparkle. Always set a budget before engagement ring shopping and this should help you pick the most suitable stone. And remember, you can always go for a lower carat and pick a cut that makes the stone appear larger if your budget doesn’t quite stretch to the sizable rock on an A-list celebrity’s finger.

Question 8

What makes an engagement ring unique?

Accepted Answer

It must be a custom (not customized) one-of-a-kind ring.
 	Built-in consultation with a master jeweler
 	It should not be very simple, or classic.  It's got to have flare and make a statement.
