A Guide to Buying an Engagement Ring

An engagement ring is often the first and most significant piece of jewellery that you will ever buy, and an experience that you will never forget! 

“Close your eyes and visualise your perfect ring, don’t forget the wedding band with it, and then shop around to see who can make your dream come true. You will always remember the person you buy your engagement ring from, so make sure it is from someone you like and trust!"

Rhona, CEO & Founder of The Diamond Expert

Our Guide

Have a Flexible Budget

You will see and hear advice that suggests you set a budget and stick to it. But in reality this can be very limiting if you don’t know how much diamonds cost. At The Diamond Expert, we recommend you price up some rings that you have seen and love, and you’ll soon know what carat weight and price point you are comfortable with. Be flexible from there, as often a little more can make all the difference in getting the ring of your dreams!

Diamond Quality

It is important to ensure that you purchase a certificated diamond whether it is a natural one (GIA are the best) or a laboratory grown one (IGI are the best). Try not to get too bogged down by the science of diamonds as there are so many variables, but once you have an understanding of the basics and you buy from a trusted expert, you won’t go wrong.

Design and Detail

Buying an engagement ring that has been bespoke created just for you is one of the most exciting experiences you’ll ever have. Working with an expert on each and every tiny detail and tailoring your ring to your exact specifications is the most rewarding way to purchase your special ring. Rhona, The Diamond Expert, has 17 years of experience guiding couples through the journey of creating the most exquisite engagement rings. 

Lasting Relationships

Just like your partner, you may have a long lasting relationship with your jeweller! Buying from a trusted industry expert means you have peace of mind long after you purchase your ring. You may need a ring re-sizing, repair or check up, advice on insurance, re-design, upgrades or want to buy another piece of jewellery. We have over 80% repeat custom which is testament to the trust our clients place in us. Our business is based firmly in trust and relationships and your happiness is of the utmost importance to us.
