Guide to The Perfect Engagement Ring

YOUR GUIDE TO SELECT THE PERFECT ENGAGEMENT RING

 
 

You’ve met your person! The next step is investing in an engagement ring that symbolizes your love story. While it is important to do your research (and maybe even a mood board or two), this process does not need to be overwhelming.

Some couples enjoy selecting or designing a ring together, while others prefer a thoughtful surprise. Whichever way is right for you, this engagement ring guide will outline things to know and what to consider.

As your engagement ring concierge, I can help you secure a uniquely beautiful ring that celebrates your love. Discover this personalized service that specializes in responsibly sourced jewelry here.

1. Just as love comes in all colors, shapes, and sizes diamond is not your only option

There is no love like yours, so why choose an engagement ring that looks like everyone else’s?

When it comes to “romancing the stone”, you don’t have to say yes to a diamond. However, there is a pragmatic reason diamonds are a great option: they are the hardest gemstone! This is important for any kind of ring you wear every day, as your hand comes in frequent contact with hard surfaces. 

Mohs Scale of Hardness for Engagement RIngs

A quick review of the Mohs Scale of Hardness, which is the measure of mineral hardness, will reveal other options that are durable. Sapphire, is 9 on this scale and can be any color of the rainbow except red, which would make it a ruby. Another colorful option is Spinel at 8 on the Mohs scale - and it has lots of fire, meaning it really sparkles when exposed to light. 

Soft gemstones, such as pearl and opal are not ideal as engagement rings. Brittle gemstones such as emerald or Tanzanite are easily fractured unless a designer creates a setting that really protects these gemstones. Such gemstones are perfect as cocktail rings!

2. Know the who, where, and how of your gemstones

Beyond ethical, conflict-free, and traceable, choosing responsibly sourced diamonds and colored gemstones means you are protecting people, their skills, and the natural environment. I invite you to explore responsible sourcing and climate action here.

As your engagement ring concierge, I can curate responsibility sourced:

  • ready-made or bespoke engagement rings and bands

  • newly mined natural diamonds 

  • vintage and antique diamonds (and other post-consumer recycled diamonds)

  • colored gemstones from artisan miners

  • lab-grown diamonds

3. Comfort matters

Choose a ring that is designed for long-term comfort. It sounds very obvious, but consciously consider how a ring feels next to your skin. While you may only try it on for a few minutes, notice the balance and imagine how it might feel wearing it daily.

Common engagement ring regrets are:

  • High-sitting heavy baskets that flop to one side or the other

  • Bands that don’t feel smooth against the skin or have a design that traps water/soap underneath the setting causing unpleasant skin irritations 

  • Complex designs that catch on clothes
