It’s that time of year again. The holiday season means thousands of people worldwide consider popping up the big question. Some have already planned that pivotal moment to the last detail, whereas many others are considering their options.

There are many things you may be considering and questions you may have like;  

· What ring should I get?

· When should I propose?

· Where should I propose?

· Why is the holiday season a good time to propose?

· How much to spend on a ring?

If you don't know the ring size of your partner, you need to do some detective work. The easiest way is to ask family members or friends. 

If you can't draw that information from them, mention your size the next time you talk about jewelry. There is a pretty good chance that they will also mention their ring size.

If you don't know what size finger they have, no worries. Your first ring resizing is complementary and will be performed by our in house jewellers.

Traditionally, both engagement and wedding rings are made from yellow gold, white gold and platinum. In recent years, rose gold became prevalent and emerged as a fresh, modern alternative.

Knowing your partner’s taste in diamonds can be of immense help when choosing the shape of the diamond. 

The shape of the diamond, also known as the cut, is one of the most important things about diamonds. Each shape comes with a completely different style. Round diamonds are practically a classic. Whereas ovals have been the most recent hottest sellers. 

Then there are pear-shaped diamonds that lean toward the modern. As far as the origin, you can choose from natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, gemstones, or moissanite.

If you know your fiancé well, their lifestyle, their taste in jewellery, then it won't be hard to pick something for them. You will be able to find something that they will value and cherish most.

If you’re unsure about what suits their style, come on in and speak with one of our gemmologists or diamond experts

Nothing is set in stone when it comes to proposing. The festivities are practically at our doorstep. Whether you opt for Christmas, New Year, or at some point in between, it is entirely up to you. However, you need to keep a few things in mind before you start making any plans.

First of all, you need to consider if your fiancé is open to a public proposal or would they prefer a more intimate experience. Most people dream about proposing on a picturesque beach or on the top of a mountain. Whatever place you decide, make sure it’s significant to you and your relationship.

If you plan to propose at a party or at some family gathering, you will need help from one or two close friends to handle some of the logistics. You want to avoid telling everyone what you are about to do at the party.

In terms of timing, sooner is always better. That way, they are looking their best, as well as everyone else. If it is some social gathering, then that might be super-important. On the other hand, if your fiancé is a private person, you might want to consider the next part after you propose. Perhaps they are the type of person who prefers to be only with you alone and enjoy the moment. On the contrary, they may be an extrovert that wants to be surrounded by friends and family in that precious moment.

The point is, if you plan to propose to that person, then you probably have an idea as to how they want it to play out. So it is perhaps best to propose at some party, family gathering, social gathering, at home, at a restaurant, or some spot dear to both of you. Afterall, you know your partner best.

Don't overthink it and choose within your means. There is no set price.
