How to Shop Your Engagement Ring

Guide to Shopping Engagement Rings

Shopping for an engagement ring is an important journey that can be time consuming and requires preliminary research. With so many styles, shapes, and designers available, it’s important to explore every detail before making your decision on such a meaningful piece of jewellery. Design, durability, and personal meaning all play an important role in the final choice. Whether you’re looking for an heirloom-worthy setting or a ring tailored to your lifestyle, thoughtful guidance can help you stay within budget and find the ideal design. In London, Ontario, we at Nash Jewellers provide a selection of stunning designer engagement rings and diamond options to support every couple’s journey.

Choose Your Budget and Ring Settings

An engagement ring’s setting determines much of the overall aesthetic, and it is essential to consider each setting style before you make a purchase. For example, solitaire rings highlight the centre stone without distraction, making them an ideal option for minimalists. In contrast, side stone settings use accent diamonds to amplify sparkle while maintaining a balanced, structured silhouette. For extra depth and dimension, three stone rings convey meaningful symbolism and visual symmetry that appeals to romantics and traditionalists alike. Meanwhile, halo rings form a sparkling border around the central diamond, enhancing the light and visual appearance. Each setting incurs a different cost, and establishing a realistic budget ensures you choose confidently from available options.

Pick a Jewellery Designer and Diamond Shape

Finding a designer whose artistic perspective you adore can also help to narrow down your options. We’re proud to house collections by brands such as Noam Carver, who creates award-winning bridal jewellery that merges sculpture and storytelling, with designs featuring floral halos and intricate metalwork. Zeghani offers pieces crafted in 14K gold with delicate bands, nature-inspired details, and mixed metal arrangements. Consider also the various centre stone shapes you could choose to be the focal point of your ring. Choose round diamonds for brilliance and traditional appeal that could enhance any setting, or princess cuts that offer distinctive angular edges for a sharper impression. Oval diamonds elongate the finger, blending elegance with sparkle that draws attention from every angle.
