Engagement ring shopping with your significant other is more common than not. It can be an intimidating process, but it is also a magical and memorable experience. Are you wondering what the best part about shopping for engagement rings with your significant other is? You will be sure your partner will receive their dream ring! Plus, spending quality time with one another while choosing or designing a ring that you will wear everyday is extremely special and our goal is to make sure your experience is perfect! We encourage that when you shop for rings with your partner you make it a rule to have FUN! Leave it to us to make this a wonderful experience and to help design the ring of both of your dreams! We have listed a few steps to ensure your ring shopping experience is memorable and productive!
1. Before trying on rings, it is not a bad idea to have the money talk. Keep it simple and have a conversation about a price range that you two feel comfortable staying within. This will help our staff guide you in the right direction of styles that meet your perfect price point.

2. Talk about what is most important to you two! For example, ladies typically focus on center stone shape and style of ring, whereas gentlemen typically focus more on shopping for specific center stone characteristics. Neither of these are set in stone, but it might help to know what is most important to each of you while looking at options.
3. Arrive with some ring ideas or none at all. You might surprise yourself by falling in love with a style you wouldn't typically choose! It’s one thing to see rings on Instagram and Pinterest and entirely different experiences when you place them on your hand. We also encourage you to try on styles that you typically would not choose. Doing so will ensure you have a particular style ring that you KNOW you will love for years to come!
4. Try on ring styles that you’re curious about! That means trying on rings in different metal options (i.e., yellow/rose/white gold, platinum, and two-tone options). We also encourage trying on various center stone shapes, stone type (diamonds/ gemstones/ alternative stones), and center stone sizes.
5. Take photos of the ring you love on your hand. This is for you to look back at when you’re home to reflect and remember why you love the ring you chose.
6. Keeping the proposal a surprise! Are you are worried shopping together will ruin the surprise? Our goal is to make sure we help maintain the mystery behind popping the big question, if that is what you’re wanting, of course. Once you two have chosen a specific style and center stone, we make sure to move forward with your partner to make sure all of the magical details will stay a surprise. ðŸ’
7. Grab lunch or go to drinks after! Take some time to celebrate the upcoming chapter of your lives together! Shopping for an engagement ring is a big deal and you should take some time to debrief and well... CELEBRATE! 🎉
