Engagement Jewellery

Typically, an engagement ring is the primary piece of jewellery given for an engagement, often featuring a diamond or other significant gemstone. Other gifts might include watches or earrings.

Popular choices for engagement rings include solitaire diamond rings, halo settings, three-stone rings, and rings with pave or channel-set diamonds. Oval and round cuts are consistently favored.

To choose engagement jewellery, consider the recipient's personal style, lifestyle, and preferences for metal type and gemstones. For rings, focus on the 4 Cs (cut, color, clarity, carat weight) and the setting.

Engagement jewellery does not necessarily need to be expensive; its value is more about sentiment and symbolism than monetary cost. There are beautiful options available across various price points.

Yes, engagement jewellery can often be highly customized, allowing for unique designs, specific gemstone choices, and personalized engravings to make the piece truly unique to the couple.

The significance of engagement jewellery lies in its symbolism of commitment, love, and the promise of marriage. It represents a formal agreement to wed and a lasting bond.

Besides rings, other engagement jewellery that is common includes watches for men, or sometimes a necklace or a pair of earrings as a complementary gift, though the ring remains central.

To care for engagement jewellery, particularly rings, clean it regularly with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals, and have it professionally inspected annually to check for loose stones or wear.

The difference between engagement and wedding jewellery is that engagement jewellery (typically a ring) is given at the proposal, while wedding jewellery (like wedding bands) is exchanged during the marriage ceremony.

You can buy good quality engagement jewellery from reputable fine jewellery stores, certified diamond dealers, and trusted online retailers known for their ethical sourcing and transparent grading reports.
