When getting engaged choose a ring you want! You will be looking at it for the rest of your life!

Tips when buying an engagement ring:

• There are many different choices to make when buying an engagement ring. The first big one is the metal type, with options of yellow gold, rose gold or platinum. Each complements different skin tones and tastes. For men buying without the knowledge of their other half, it is always a good idea to check the colour of the jewellery she wears.
• When looking at rings set with diamond shoulders always run your fingers over them to see if there are any sharp areas – this will ensure the ring does not catch on clothing.
• The wedding ring should also be taken into account when buying an engagement ring. Buying an engagement ring which is wed set (meaning a straight wedding ring will fit flush next to the engagement ring) makes buying a wedding ring much easier.
