Engagement Rings

It depends on your budget and style preference. Many people opt for a 1 to 1.5-carat diamond or gemstone as the center stone, offering a nice balance of presence and everyday wearability.

Keep in mind that carat does not equal size— The size of the gemstone is the length and width of its top side, while the carat weight is the weight of the entire stone. Sometimes, the stones will be different sizes for the same carat weight, which results in some appearing larger and others smaller in the same carat. It depends on cut depth. For more details, refer to our Gemstone Cut Depth Guide.

So, you should look at these two elements together when choosing a center stone.

There’s no “right” amount. While tradition suggests spending three months’ salary, most people today make decisions based on their personal budget. Our engagement rings range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on your choice of stone, design, and metal.

Consider a few key factors: your budget, the type of gemstone (natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, or colored stones), ring size, preferred styles (like halo or three stone), and your choice of metal (such as gold, platinum, or silver).

Shopping online lets you buy directly from the brand—no middlemen, transparent pricing, and better value. We offer customization options, free shipping, 30-day returns, and a 1-year warranty, so you can complete your purchase with confidence.

An engagement ring usually features a more prominent center stone and is given during the proposal. A wedding band is typically simpler, often without a large stone, and exchanged during the wedding ceremony. The two can be worn together or separately.

Common choices include 14k or 18k yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, and sterling silver. Yellow gold offers a warm, classic look, while white metals provide a sleek, modern feel. If you prefer something different, feel free to contact us for custom options.

Use our online Ring Size Guide or visit a local jeweler. It’s a good idea to measure at different times of the day, since finger size can fluctuate with temperature and other factors.
