From diamond cut to setting and size, our engagement ring guide makes it easy to find the perfect ring.
1. The 4C's
Every diamond, like a human fingerprint, possesses its own unique identity. The 4Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat weight are the globally recognized standards used to evaluate diamond quality.
Understanding these characteristics is essential when selecting the perfect stone, and our Diamond Guide is here to help you navigate each one with clarity and confidence.
2. Ring Setting
A ring’s setting is more than just a design detail — it enhances the diamond’s beauty, secures the stone, and defines the overall character of the piece. From timeless solitaires to intricate halo and pavé designs, each setting tells a different story.
Explore our Ring Setting Guide to discover the style that best reflects your vision of forever.
3. Ring Metal
A ring’s metal defines more than its look. It shapes its brilliance, durability, and meaning. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless glow of yellow gold, the modern elegance of platinum, or the romantic warmth of rose gold, each metal enhances your diamond in a unique way.
Choosing the best metal for your engagement ring means finding the perfect balance between beauty, strength, and personal style. Our Ring Metal Guide explores the differences between gold and platinum, and how each complements the Royal Asscher Cut.
4. Ring Size
The perfect ring begins with the perfect fit. Whether you're selecting an engagement ring or a timeless diamond band, knowing the correct size ensures both comfort and confidence.
To make sizing simple and precise, we offer a complimentary ring sizer and helpful tips for measuring at home. Visit our Ring Size Guide to find your ideal fit with ease and elegance.
