THE ENGAGEMENT RING EXPERIENCE

Preparing for your visit can help make the process smooth and joyful!

Set Your Budget

Consider what feels comfortable to spend. A clear budget helps us guide you toward the perfect stone, metal, and design without pressure.

Gather Inspiration

Take note of rings your partner admires or subtle hints they’ve shared. Social media sites like Pinterest and Instagram are wonderful places to collect ideas.

Notice Their Jewelry Style

Pay attention to the metal they wear most often — white, yellow, or rose gold — and whether their taste leans toward timeless classics or modern designs.

During Your Visit:

When you arrive, we want you to feel inspired, informed, and completely comfortable exploring your options. Our team includes certified gemologists, designers and bench jewelers, that will guide you through the process in a relaxed and educational way.

We begin by listening to your story and learning about your partner’s style. From there, we’ll explore a variety of ring styles, metals, and gemstones, comparing options side by side so you can see what resonates.

We’ll explain the essential aspects of diamonds — the four Cs: carat, cut, color, and clarity — and how each influences a stone’s brilliance, appearance, and value. This ensures you feel confident in your choice, understanding exactly what makes a diamond shine.

If your vision calls for something truly unique, we can introduce the custom design process, showing how a design comes to life through 3D renderings and prototypes. We’ll also discuss practical considerations, such as how the ring will wear in daily life and how it pairs with a future wedding band.

Throughout your visit, we encourage questions, comparisons, and viewing stones in natural light — everything you need to make an informed, joyful decision.
