How To Choose An Engagement Ring - User Guide For Men


There you are... you survived all the numerous COVID lockdowns together and you’re still there, together, and in love.

Due to home confinement and thanks to Netflix evenings, there are chances that she made you watch all the romantic Hollywood movies with the perfect proposal involving the perfect engagement ring.

And now it’s your turn... 

If she hasn’t already sent you a subtle message about the style she likes, or if you don’t know her best friend who you could ally with... then you will have to figure out by yourself which ring to choose...

Don’t stress... we are here to help...

I know based upon my own experience, that engagement ring selection can easily stress every man... carats, settings, cuts, 4C, prong, girdle...

But I’ll show you that it doesn’t have to be complicated...You don’t need get lost in Google between hundreds of pages of overcomplicated descriptions with Chinese sounding technical terms about engagement rings.

Despite what you might think, choosing an engagement ring can be actually very easy, simple and even fun...

WHY THE COOLEST ENGAGEMENT RINGS ARE THE CUSTOM MADE ONES?

It’s not for nothing that Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt or even Prince Harry went for a bespoke ring...

Don’t you want to become the most creative version of yourself and create her the most beautiful custom ring to show her that she is as unique as the ring you propose with?

She will adore you for that...

ARE CUSTOM RINGS REALLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN READYMADE ONES?

People often think that, but actually it’s the opposite.

To go for a custom engagement ring allows you to be exactly in your budget. We can help you to choose the right stone, quality, size, all personalised and optimised to get the best possible ring for your money.

As we are a direct to consumer brand, we can bring you the most competitive and fair pricing, by saving you the additional retail mark-ups. We do not have expensive inventory, branding or storage costs, therefore our pricing is based on the current market price of precious stones and materials, in line with your preferences and price range.

YOU CAN MAKE A FULLY SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

Another advantage is that you can also choose a fully eco-responsible and sustainable custom engagement ring, with ethical solutions like lab grown diamonds and recycled gold, besides the fact that all our diamonds come from official and legitimate sources, not involved in conflict financing and in accordance with the United Nations resolutions and the Kimberley Process.

Ok, now let’s go straight to the point...

Let’s see our step by step recommendations for you to think over before we start:

1. Check if she is having more yellow or more white gold jewellery, to help decide on the metal colour

2. Think over if she very active, loves moving, doing sports, exercises, activities where she works actively with her hands, to decide about the type of setting. 

Our recommendation is that a high setting is more obvious and sparkling, but makes the gemstone more vulnerable to potential scratches and is more likely to snag on clothing too. Therefore it’s less convenient if she works in a profession that requires heavy use of your hands, and she will have to remove to avoid damage if she is often doing everyday things around the house or the garden.

3. Think over if she is more a traditional and classical kind of person, or she loves original, out of the box pieces, colourful clothes, imposing signature accessories (to help decide on the style, gemstone type and colour).

The Classical choice is the white diamond solitaire ring, but today’s modern brides like to express their personality and use other coloured diamonds or other gemstones... (Who wouldn’t remember the scene of the Sex and the City2 film, where Mr. Big offered to Carrie Bradshaw a gorgeous black diamond engagement ring by saying “Because you are not like anyone else.”)

In any case, our recommendation is to go for the hardest gemstones (you can find details HERE), as the engagement ring is made for a lifetime, so it has to be resistant.

4. Get her ring size (you can find our tricks and tips about how to figure it out HERE)

5. Last but not least, think about the budget you would like to allocate

Our recommendation is to keep in mind, that this ring is THE RING, which shows her how much you love her. She will wear it every day, keep it forever, maybe even giving as a heritage to your children... so allocate a budget appropriately.
