What should I consider when buying an engagement ring?

There are various things to consider when buying an engagement ring online. When selecting the diamond for the ring, you need to look at the 4Cs - colour cut, clarity and carat. Every diamond ring we make is independently certified, meaning you will have all the information you need about the size and condition of your diamond. You must also consider the metal and setting, including white gold right up to platinum, but there are lots of variations for you to choose from.

What To Consider Before Purchasing

Book a no-pressure consultation - see rings on actual hands, not just photos
Set a budget first - what you're comfortable with, not what you "should" spend
Ask her friends/family for input - they usually know her style better than you think
Give yourself time - don't let arbitrary dates (Christmas, Valentine's) force rushed decisions
Bring backup - take a trusted friend or family member to the appointment

Here's what we know after 20 years: they're going to love it because it came from you.

Solo Buying Guide

You don't need to be a jewellery expert. You just need to know your partner and trust the process.

Borrow one of their rings and bring it to us (right hand ring finger works)

Book a consultation with us - no pressure, just education about what you're buying. You can bring a friend and ask us questions, we've heard them all before.

The 4Cs determine a diamond's quality:

Cut 2. Colour 3. Clarity 4. Carat

Priority order for maximum sparkle:

Cut quality (makes the biggest visual difference determining how well light is reflected)
Carat size (the size/weight of the diamond)
Colour grade (Colours range from H to D and determines how white the diamond looks)
Clarity (starts from I1 all the way to IF) Refers to the visibility of inclusions and blemishes that affects a diamonds appearance

Our Certificates

GIA or IGI certificates are the gold standard, these are your diamond's "passport".

We offer our customers the following certifications:

GIA (Gemological Institute of America)
IGI (International Gemological Institute)
GIE (Gemological Institute of Europe)
IDGL (Independent Diamond Grading Laboratories) secondary level of certification
DH (Diamond Heaven Certificate)

WHAT MAKES ONE DIAMOND BETTER THAN THE OTHER?

It's not just about size. A well-cut diamond will outsparkle a poorly cut stone every time. Cut determines how light bounces through the diamond, it's the difference between a disco ball and a piece of rock.

WHICH ENGAGEMENT RING STYLE IS BEST FOR ME?

From classic shapes like solitaire and princess cut to more contemporary looks like emerald-cut and oval, an engagement ring should channel your partner's own style. Whether they are lovers of the vintage look or prefer a more modern style, we have a range of engagement rings to choose from. The chosen metal can also alter the look and feel of your ring - platinum engagement rings offer the classic option, while rose gold engagement rings provide a more modern look. If you would like to design a ring from scratch, our ring builder is a great option. Ultimately, you want to choose an engagement ring that your partner is going to cherish and love forever!

DO I HAVE TO GET A DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING?

Diamond engagement rings are the classic option. Diamonds are durable, hardwearing and last a lifetime, making them the perfect symbol of love that lasts forever. However, we also have a range of gemstone engagement rings to choose from if you're looking for something more unique. From rubies and sapphires to emeralds and yellow diamonds, we'll help you find the perfect stone for your partner.

HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT MY PARTNER'S ENGAGEMENT RING SIZE IS?

The easiest way to find out your partner's ring size is to ask their friends or close family members to subtly find out the perfect ring size. Alternatively, you could borrow one of your partner's dress rings and bring that to our showroom, and we can work out the correct size. The aim is to ensure the ring fits tightly enough that the featured stone remains in a central position on the finger but that the ring can also be removed without any discomfort.

CAN I FINANCE AN ENGAGEMENT RING?

Yes, you can. At Diamond Heaven, we offer a variety of finance methods. You can either pay upfront or apply online to one of our finance deals in a fast and easy process. Once finished, your application will be instantly sent to the finance company, who will get back to you with a response.

SHOULD YOU WEAR AN ENGAGEMENT RING EVERY DAY?

No matter what style, setting or stone you choose, a beautiful engagement ring is going to be something you're going to want to show off! Diamonds are hardy and strong, but to ensure your engagement ring stays as shiny as possible, we do recommend removing it when swimming, showering, exercising or partaking in manual labour to prevent damage. Our diamond cleaning guide here can show you how to keep your engagement ring and other diamond jewellery as sparkly as possible.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I SPEND ON AN ENGAGEMENT RING?

Whilst there is no set amount that you should spend on an engagement ring, spending between one and three months' salary seems to be widely acknowledged and accepted by many. However, this is entirely dependent on your individual circumstances, so we recommend setting your budget before committing to a ring.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER "YES"?

Check the fit - it should slide with gentle pressure
Book professional sizing if needed
Set up insurance
Learn proper removal, twist gently while pulling, never force it

Ring wearing basics:

Remove for: Gym, cleaning, gardening, swimming
Keep on for: Daily activities, office work, social events
Night-time: Personal preference, but remove if it catches on bedding

Long-term care schedule:

Monthly: Gentle cleaning at home
Every 6 months: Professional cleaning and inspection
Annually: Claw tightening and general maintenance check
