How to choose a ring

bague de fiançailles diamant

You have found the one you love and you have decided to give him/her an engagement ring. For the surprise to be there, you will have to make the right choice of engagement ring. Do not panic, here are some tips that will guide you in your choice.

Traditionally, it is the solitaire set with a precious stone that is offered for this event, the “must” being to offer a ring with a diamond. But if your sweetheart is less conventional, you can opt for another gemstone such as an emerald, sapphire or ruby.

Gold rings come in several colours (white, yellow, pink gold, etc.), so depending on your tastes and those of your partner, you can choose the ideal model. There are also other metals such as platinum, titanium or steel which are very resistant.

Of course, before choosing your engagement ring, you will have to set yourself a budget which will then allow you to make your choice. As a general rule, one devotes between one and two months’ salary to the purchase of an engagement ring. We offer for sale a range of rings for all budgets and tastes. We can of course work with you to choose a unique model and manufacture it for you within one to two weeks.

Choose your wedding band

The wedding ring is the visible symbol of union. It is also the jewel that you will wear all your life, so you have to make the right choice. You will first need to consider the size, shape and width of your wedding ring so that it fits your finger perfectly. Indeed, if you have a fairly wide finger, we advise you to choose a rather thin ring. Otherwise, you can choose a larger model. In order to wear your wedding ring every day without fault of taste, you will have to choose it in accordance with your style and that of your other rings.

Depending on your day-to-day life and your profession, you will have to pay attention to the metal, some being more resistant than others. White gold has a tendency to yellow a little with wear, we recommend platinum for wedding rings if you don’t want yellow gold.

To choose a ring for another event (birthday, Valentine’s Day, etc.), give free rein to your desires, however don’t forget to take your finger size if you want to order without going to the store.
