Below, we’ll talk about some of the key details of picking out an engagement ring and finding that dazzling diamond that’s sure to wow your fiancé to be. Read on to learn more!
Do You Really Have to “Go Big or Go Home”?
One of the most common questions we get as a team, as well as one of the biggest points of stress for proposers is: “how big should my centre stone be”. The truth is, there’s no set answer! While one-carat diamonds do tend to be the most popular starting point, each couple is unique, and only you will know what works best both for your budget, as well as the recipient. Bear in mind that size alone does not determine the value, nor the beauty of your diamond. Whether you want an understated and dainty ring that’s under 1 carat or something more attention-grabbing like one of Paris’ brand new 4 Carat rings from our Eternal line, you’ll want to pay close attention to the 4 C’s:
- Cut
- Colour
- Clarity
- Carat
These 4 factors come together to determine the overall quality of the centre stone in question and should be one of your key concerns when shopping. Never be afraid to ask your jeweller for more info and allow them to guide you through the basics instead of feeling pressured to commit right away!
Budget
It comes as no surprise that budget is going to be one of the main factors that influences what ring you select in the end. As with the carat size, there’s no one answer for any couple, and ultimately, you need to decide what is both comfortable and best suited for you. Paris Jewellers is proud to offer engagement at a wide range of price points, making it easy to find the right for that special someone!
Consider Style and Setting
There’s no denying that diamonds are the showpiece of your engagement ring, but in order to make them truly shine, you need to consider additional elements like the overall style you’re going for, as well as what setting works best for the gem you have in mind. For example, not every stone will be suited to a solitaire setting and not every oval will be complemented by a halo. Each gem, and consequently each ring is as unique as your relationship. Take some time to do your homework, and you’ll be far more likely to find the perfect fit!
