Picking the Perfect Engagement Ring - Where do you Begin?

Picking the Perfect Engagement Ring - Where do you Begin?

 

When it comes to choosing the perfect ring, you've got a friend in Baker Brothers! There's a lot to think about in this exciting journey, but don't worry — we're here to lend a helping hand. Our experts are ready to make this experience enjoyable and stress-free, offering guidance on everything from style to sentimentality. Let's embark on this adventure together and find a ring that tells your unique love story.

 

The right diamond can sparkle forever with energy and brilliance. And, if you choose a coloured gemstone, your options are endless. But the most important thing of all is that the ring symbolises your love and commitment to that special person in your life.

Take note of their style

 

Finding the perfect ring is like uncovering a treasure that mirrors your partner's unique personality. Take note of their style and the details that capture their attention. Delve into their daily routine – are they hands-on or more of an executive type? Consider the durability of gold versus platinum to match their lifestyle.

 

Now, onto the budget talk – understanding your comfortable spending range is essential. While the cost of the diamond or gemstone is a factor, aspects like cut, colour, and clarity also come into play. If the budget feels a bit snug, you can explore some of our flexible finance options to help spread the cost.

Gemstones and settings.. so much choice!

 

Forget the norm – the classic solitaire diamond ring isn't your only option. If your partner has a thing for rubies, sapphires, or even emeralds, go for it! Feeling a bit more adventurous? Explore multi-stone rings with a mix of classic diamonds with coloured gems.

 

And there's a whole world of ring styles to discover! Halos, clusters, and trilogy-style rings each bring their own special meaning to the wearer. Want that big ring vibe without the big price tag? Look at rings with a smaller centre stone surrounded by glistening diamonds in a halo setting – it's like magic.

 

Above all, choose a ring that resonates with your partner's taste. If you find yourself puzzled about finding the ideal ring, our specialists are ready to assist you. We'll provide guidance tailored to your budget and lifestyle, ensuring that picking the perfect ring becomes a delightful and stress-free journey.

Choose a coloured centre gemstone

 

If your partner tends to stick with neutral tones, start your ring search with a classic diamond. On the flip side, if your loved one adores vibrant colours, why not consider infusing some colour into your choice? It opens up a world of possibilities.

 

Pick a gemstone that aligns with their favourite colour or one that complements their unique style and personality. Take it a step further by opting for an alternative coloured diamond. This unexpected choice will make your proposal even more memorable, offering a touch of uniqueness your partner likely hasn't experienced before.

 

Essential Insight: Your partner will appreciate any ring that signifies your commitment, and thorough research ensures a choice they'll love indefinitely.
