The Ultimate Engagement Ring Checklist: What to Look for When Shopping

Presenting your love with the ultimate engagement ring is the most romantic task you will perform. You need to focus on making it special, perfect and worthy! 

Keeping a checklist for your engagement ring gives you much clarity in what you are exactly looking for. It also symbolizes the efforts that you put into crafting this band. 

Remember apart from her personal choice of diamond ring there are many factors to consider while selecting an engagement ring. To make things simpler we have sorted the ultimate checklist for your guidance. 

  1. Personality 

We all know before getting into the technical detailing the most essential part is, the personality of the engagement ring that your partner loves. Dig into the past conversations of what kind of ring they loved, the tones, diamond cuts and style of the band. 

When examining lifestyle, evaluate where your partner would like to wear the ring. Many people like wearing their engagement rings daily and intend to do so for the rest of their lives.

A delicate center stone design, such as a pear or marquise cut, may not be suitable for a person who works with their fingers or workouts frequently, as these are more prone to chipping. It all depends on the whole aesthetic and mounting style, but discussing any lifestyle concerns with your jeweler can help them steer you in the right course.

  1. The Ring size 

Getting the ring size right shows the immense detailing that you put into crafting her love band. Although, even if you get it wrong, you may resize it anytime.

  1. Diamond Vs Gemstones 

Yes, they both are different. Understand the vibe of your lover and pick the style that they would love. While diamonds are the ultimate stunner of any engagement ring, the precious gemstones bring out the personality of the person very clearly. 

Select an engagement ring that brings them joy and comfort at the same time. 

  1. The diamond 4’c 

If you have chosen a diamond as the center stone, now is a good time to review the four C's. Carat, cut, color, and clarity is likely terms you've heard before and maybe even familiar with.

We don't anticipate you to be a diamond specialist, but it's a good idea to be acquainted with these words before starting your search for the ideal stone.

  1. Diamond certification 

Another crucial step in purchasing the ideal band is the diamond certification. This allows you to take a closer look at the diamond quality while defining the 4’cs much more clearly on a professional graph. Do not buy diamonds without certification. This paper gives you a detailed version of your diamond quality.

  1. Settings 

The setting of your diamond holds so much power in building the personality of your band. The most classic engagement ring setting is the solitaire setting. 


If their vibe isn’t much of a classic style, you may explore the stunning hidden halo, eternal ring, half-eternal, square solitaire, three-stone setting and even custom-made engagement ring that we serve.
